  • Hi everyone - new to this but I managed a level 1 plus a bit of level 2. Really didnt want to do anything so quite pleased with myself.

    First day back at work today and soooo tired, feel like I have been off for 10 years instead of 10 days! Need to go and get clothes out of wm and put them over airer before I go to bed. Oh and need to polish DS shoes, mind you he will probably be going to school in his wellies looking at the weather forecast!

    Evening ladies

    Where has today gone :confused:

    Ok so my alarm was set for 7am to get me in the swing of things but I changed it to 8 when I got into bed. Went it went off I turned it off and went back to sleep again :o. 10am I finally woke again so by the time I got fed, bathed and dressed it was lunchtime.

    Today I have managed to take down 4 Christmas trees, err I think I was supposed to have help but didnt :mad: so packing everything away (as it has to be done alakazmeister) took ages. Boxes are now at the bottom of the stairs and on the landing waiting to go to the attic, the big tree box I cant even lift let alone carry up 30 stairs :eek:

    Then I cooked tea and DS bless him told me he would clean up but I said as it was kitchen day it had to be done Pigpen style so he was threatening to come on here and call you a slave driver :rotfl:. So some of kitchen done and then the battle to get DD and stuff ready for school and in bed by 9. At 825 it was going well at 905 it was well wheres this and wheres that :mad::mad::mad:. Hopefully its all there now and she was in bed when I left her. ETA I can hear her playing with the dog now so am not happy

    I am sooo looking forward to Wed/Thurs/Fri when DH [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] should be on days (he's threatening to change his days to nights again but he better not :p) and both kids at school ...... Mwah ha ha ha hah :D

    As far as todays list goes

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Area
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter and wipe those worksurfaces[/STRIKE] DS & I both did
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Level Two
    clean blinds/curtains
    [STRIKE]Clean the hob and oven[/STRIKE] DS did the hob until I showed him how to make it shine :D
    Clean out the fridge..
    Level Three
    Clean and wipe the table,
    Clean out the under sink cupboard.. new year, new cleaning products!
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb[/STRIKE] DS did with a yellow fluffy duster :rotfl:
    [STRIKE]Wipe over the units and large appliances[/STRIKE]

    Extras
    1. wash windows
    2. [STRIKE]Declutter the tops of the wall units[/STRIKE] - the only things there are a stash of kitchen towel and DH's appliances including Kenwood the Dinosaur
    3. [STRIKE]Sort recipe books/files[/STRIKE] Magazines on shelf in kitchen, Books on bookshelf in DR
    4. [STRIKE]Wipe over all the small appliances[/STRIKE] I did
    Oh and the biggest :mad: of the day was when DH said I thought you did your finances last night, theyre not on here:mad::mad::mad:. I think he must have overwritten the file (although he will never admit it) so everything I did last night will have to be done again, and I think everything he did today will have to be done again as well. He was not a happy bunny when he went to work on what should have been a night off !!!

    And I have approx 20 pages of fred to catch up on, but will do some more flying first , so apologies, hugs to all those, who need them and a warm welcome to those who have just joined

    I am sooooooooooooooooo tired!

    I have reshuffled the living room furniture which had previously been moved to make room for the xmas tree and hoovered and dusted as I went. Ive gathered up all the clutter from the living room which doesnt belong and started to rehome it. Ive washed the throws off the sofa and cleaned the sofa and armchair. Ive folded up some dry laundry. Ive S&S the bathroom......

    In fact, Ive done loads.....all to put off ironing.....

    frodders i feel your pain! Have done my planning (such as it is for first day back) and have begun to mark some worksheets and have put clothes and sandwich stuff ready, can feel mega sulk coming on as I really dont want to go. Hope it snows loads and they shut the school (not going to happen though is it really)

    So what will I be missing out on tomorrow then piggers ? Am so excited to find out and hopefully it will be things i have been doing already so a quick flick will be all that's required

    Best get the ironing board out tomorrow now then Jo, bit too late to start now unlike greenbee who needs a great big kick up the jacksie- can't believe you would sleep in a sleeping bag rather than make your own bed you lazy mare! And yes I am trying to avoid the marking!

    Well I hope he now appreciates what you do around the house seeing as that was a fairly typical list nothing bizarre or ultramean... he should count himself lucky it wasn't the evil one with the attic, garage and shed!

    Prepared a couple of ebay listings - need to add photos. Must get going to bed now or I wont get up for the school run. Sleep tight flyers and hoping nobody who doesn't want snow gets it.
