  • hello everyone
    have been writing this post for ages but keep getting interupted by well meaning people!!

    rosieben I know you probably wont read this but I am sendingnloads of smoth moving vibes - hope we see you back soon
    holly hope the bunnies are ok
    soappie that was a nice little earner then but a hectic day for you - hope today is quieter - have you put the bed in the other room where DD will move into? perhaps it will encourage her to move her stuff for you.
    AnW'sMum that is sad- positive vibes for your friend's daughter - may she have an easy pregnancy and the tumour is dealt with successfully afterwards - hugs for your friend
    gilligansyle its not easy when you someone on nights - you can hoover up to 10pm and thats considered ok - or what about trying to do some before he gets in in the morning or is he very early? you are doing very well so keep up the good work - I am sure you will be seeing a difference already.
    haynrich you are doing well starting with the right attitude - try to find permanent homes for things and keep putting them back after use and it makes all the difference - not just moving from A-B when you tidy- my phone books live in the bookcase
    dollydaydream -(((hugs))) for the flood but good that no real damage done
    LadyL Hi honey - you are being industrious - hope that means you are feeling not too bad - enjoy your doggy cuddles - dont the kitties get jealous? xxxx
    greenbee hope you have a safe trip and manage to enjoy it a little bit:rolleyes:

    there seems to be a few poolies kiddlies this week so hugs to them and get better soon - and coping vibes for the Mums!!
    scotrae - life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes - babysteps and you will get there
    boddy (((hugs))) hope you feel better after you have seen Mum
    MSD positive vibes for you and Tristan
    jinky well done honey - its a horrible job but you needed to do it:T thats something else off the list - whats next - There must be some more packing you can do of things that you wont need:confused:
    PenPen I see you havent mended DS's trousers yet - do you want him to get a chill?:rotfl:
    pooh I hope you have a lovely weekend with all the family at home but do be overdoing it - hope DH feels better too and enjoys the celebrations.
    princess lou (((hugs))) you can do it honey and you know how good it looks AND it will make you feel better so come on angel go for it - up off your little bum and wash those dishes, or quick vacuum round - make the bed - just something to get started - OR WILL I THROW A MULE AT YOU:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: no I dont think so!!
    lolly well done - the childrens rooms are often the worst I think so you have done well to start there - even if you only manage level 1 every day it will make a difference.
    triker its lovely having you back - I missed you - I hope your body clock is back in line - dont go overdoing things will you - you will soon get things under control again xx
    macpep1 as its the end of the week just do whatever list takes your fancy or just start with today's - whatever you do will be good and hopefully you will be able to get started from monday next week. Yes you will get there but you need patience it wont happen overnight! Start with trying to do level 1 everyday for your first week - if you manage any other bits then thats fine and just build from there.
    If you left click on your user name on the left hand side of the thread you will get a sub-menu and then click on the option 'find other posts by macpep1' and that will give you a list of your posts - what some of us do is to come on the thread and post a line or 2 saying hello and i am trying to find my list etc and then once you have posted that to the thread you can then go into your user name and find your last post or your list! hope that helps but keep asking and we will try to keep you right.

    Afternoon all
    Hope everyone is doing well? Sorry to say that (yet again!) I have been unable to keep up with the thread, so I'm throwing in some hugs for everyone who needs or wants one.

    Glad it's Friday to be honest...the first week back after school holiday is always hard and we (DD and I) are completely exhausted....

    Right, here's my list for yesterday and today:

    Thursday ~ bathroom annd cruddy study
    Level One
    Declutter floors
    [STRIKE]Mop or vacuum as appropriate[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Empty and wash out bins.. to make it worth while you should fill them first!
    Scrub bath, tiles, shower head.. you all read the link I hope?!.. sinks toilets keyboards mouses etc...
    [STRIKE]Defrag pc.. delete 50 unwanted emails and 10 dead/unused links[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Clear the desk of gibble and give it a dust as you dust and deweb the rooms[/STRIKE] Finally reached the end of my tether earlier - couldn't see the desk for junk, paper, treasures that DD has given/made for me. They're all in a box now, waiting to be sorted/chucked (not the treasures, though, I'll put them in another box) Desk is now clear-ish, I've just got the filing to do.
    Wash the shower curtain/baths mats etc if required
    Shine any mirrors and clear mantels

    Extras
    1. Wipe radiators, shelves and paintwork
    2. Wash windows if needed
    3. Clean any chairs in these rooms
    4. [STRIKE]Make a note of any wrapping paper/cards etc you may need to buy.. don't forget the sticky tape![/STRIKE] Yule paper/cards all sorted (see what I did there, being Pagan has it's advantages, don't necessarily have to mention the C*******s word)
    Friday ~ Kiddies rooms, Spare rooms or another neglected room
    Level One

    [STRIKE]Declutter[/STRIKE] and vacuum the floor
    [STRIKE]Tidy away all the toys and clothes and games and books that are in the wrong places[/STRIKE] Definitely a work in progress...DD seems to have taken over the entire house with her toys....
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Strip and wash bedding and replace with clean.. vacuum and turn mattresses if needed[/STRIKE] Did not vacuum mattress.
    Wash any other soft furnishings.. curtains etc
    Sort through a box of toys.. make some room for those lovely things Santa will be bringing for the good children!.. or the coal for the naughty ones!
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb
    Wipe over the bedframes and paintwork[/STRIKE]
    Binbag dance!
    Extras
    1. Wash windows and sills
    2. Wipe all the upstairs doors.. both sides!
    3. Sort through one box or drawer filled with miscellaneous gibble.. from any room.. it just needs it!!
    4. HHI Will be doing this while DD and DS have their baths.
    In addition, I have transcribed a tape for OH (brushing up my audio typing skills), checked the smoke detectors, done a menu plan, and sorted tea (just have to cook it now).

    I'd better be off to cook said tea - DS is asleep and if I can avoid the 5 o'clock howl then that would be a good thing.

    Take care all, have a good evening.

    I just can't settle to this writing this afternoon. One quick 3/4hr burst more and I could say I've at least done something! :rolleyes:

    Am really struggling, and I don't know why: I like the work, it's what I want to do and it's not really that difficult.

    Same here - I should have completed first draft of a paper today, and I haven't touched it :o. The problem is, that I know the stuff, I just CBA to write it down in an structured way (possibly because it will reveal the gaps in my evidence and mean that I have to actually do some research). And it's my job... :rolleyes:

    One more client call and I'm off to sit on the M3... and think about packing :p
  • OK - HHC was a little interrupted by a skype call, but very funny call so that's OK.

    Have tidied the kitchen.
    Washed out fridge & restacked it.
    Taken banana cakes out of oven.
    WM x 1
    TD x 1
    Read nativity play info and checked outfit I got, just in case, fits - it does!:D
    Hoovered dining room, kitchen & utility.
    Chatted on skype.

    Time for DS's tea then HHC at 5pm anyone?

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
