    Back again. Quick post as little ones have come down. They heard the loo flushing. My tummy doesn't respond well to two faced, home wreaking (not me) liars.

    Need to get breakfast for little ones. I was glad I was up early as I left the washing on the line last night. I noticed it was getting darker and rushed out and brought it in just as the first heavy drops started to fall. It's a bit damp so I'll bung it in the TD and see if I can get away with minimal ironing. As you probably guessed I didn't tackle the ironing mountain yesterday.:(

    Will post list in a bit....

    MOrning all, Really short on time today so a very quick wizz around the kitchen. Reload the dishwasher and hopefully that will keep things moving. Have a great day all.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Hugs for you mumto5, hope whatever it is gets sorted quickly.

    DH got up at 5am to go to London and I couldn't get back to sleep. No work today but a list as long as my arm of things to do before we go away. My sister is housesitting so I need to recover the house from building site, at least think about packing, find important things like passports, etc, etc.

    So far this week I have:
    made a teenager give the landrover its annual wash, t-cut and polish (she looks lovely now)
    cleaned out a years worth of gibble and all the important stuff (aka junk) my DH has stashed in it to take with us
    cleared the ironing mountain so I dont have to hide it this year ;), hoovered car out and polished the dash etc, cleaned the windows and so on.
    made a complete pigsty of the dining room by filling it up with junk from everywhere

    I must:
    find and wash enough sets of bedding and towels
    find the vacuum sucky bags to compress stuff in
    make a list of jobs for all four boys to do if they want spending money
    take small boys to the post office to get euros with their change mountain
    tidy and clean the whole house faster than everyone else is behind me untidying it, and then keep it that way till Friday :rotfl:

  • Good Morning Ladies :)

    Off to the dentist again this morning but just to see the hygienist so I guess I am decluttering my teeth today :). There is an Aldi close by so I may pop in to stock up on some very good value wine I tried last week.

    Need to crack on with some work today as well so flying will be basics only.

    Hoover down
    Tidy kitchen
    Tidy bedroom put clothes away
    Water plants

    I will try to add to the list if I free up some time later
    Have a great day all
    CJ

    How did you get on Juliejim?

    I put the WM on, emptied the DW, got dressed, put away the junk from one of the car bags, found clothes for the boys and made them their breakfast.
