Stay at home mums getting organised in 2010

I_want_a_baby

I was thinking that maybe we could once a week have a chat on this thread about a certain topic and see if we really can help each other be organised SAHM's by the end of the year?
I really am interested in sharing the things that I think I do well and listening to others about things I don't.

Topics I have thought of (off the top of my head) are:
Menu planning, Food Shopping, Your quick I have no time meals, sharing a cleaning routine, laundry etc etc

With each topic we could share what we do now, what we would like to be doing, our top tips, best product you've tried, homemade recipes, etc...

What does everyone think?:think:

I think it's a good idea. Always nice to read tips from others!

Today's list:

- bottles (washed, sterilised, made for day) DONE
- washing up DONE
- laundry (prewashed, now washing)
- will be having cook-from-frozen roast for tea with mash and veg
- DH finishing up DS3's bedroom (painting edging)
- call council to have them replace a couple floorboards (we moved in last year, but just realised there are a couple floorboards in different rooms that are broken, as they were behind or under things and we just didn't notice in our rush to get things moved in!)
- finish January's letter to creditors re DMP
- make list of things that needs to be done in town tomorrow

Can I join please? I'm a SAHM with 2 girls aged 3.5 years and 18 months. I've always been very untidy and disorganised but wasn't quite as bad before we had children.

We've been trying to do a big declutter over the last few days, sorting out the girls' clothes and toys. I'm a hoarder as is OH and we just seem to have so much stuff.

I need to

1. Phone optician
2. Write thank you letters
3. Meal plan to use up food in fridge.

1 - ironing
2 - DLA form
3 - kids room
4 - sort out jackets and shoes
4 - move craft boxes from hall
5 - shed paperwork


Thats enough I think. DS2 was poorly with D&V during the night so will have to play it by ear mostly.
