    Do we all have to move house to find it easier to complete the lists?

    Since my last post I have filled the maiden full of ironing and washed the pots from tea, which I had forgotten due to the maths I was guiding DD through...
    I am VERY pleased with myself. I decided to fasten the duvet cover in the hope that it would then be prevented from eating pillowcase and turning itself inside out and it worked!

    Evening

    I have managed my dailies today and house looks pretty clean and tidy.

    I'll do the bathroom and change some beds over the weekend.

    Valli - DS1 could buy a maths DVD from school (about £2) called Maths Watch I think. It is brilliant at explaining things, breaks them down step by step and has helped him no end.

    Skipsmum Sweetie you really are up against it. Please take care of yourself, sleep must be your priority, the housework will always be there. Hugs for you and your DSs

    pigpen - i've been in jimjams since I got in from work at 6.30 :D I have some new ones with a hooded top as well as a vest top (half price £8 in Sainsburys with some birthday money) and they're fab (although I need to do something to stop the bottoms falling down, maybe tighten the elastic!)

    Bedtime for me I think, rather sleepy tonight. Looking forward to a lazyish saturday, hoepfully I'll manage to walk to starbucks!

    Oh dear! I haven't done anything today, not a single thing. DH had a day off work and wanted to go out looking at new cars so I have spent the whole day in car dealerships!! Not the way I would choose to spend a day but never mind and at 23 DS is old enough to do his own room.
