    Well DS woke at 10!! So once I got him sorted off upstairs I went, DD1 went in the bath (mostly to distract her from me throwing her gibble/carp away!) and DD2 entertained her lol and in 1 hour I managed to fill 2 black bags full of rubbish and organise all her toys in the right box! DD2 has now gone for her nap so can't do anything else in there so went in DS room and that is now tidy. WM is on, going to have to get the washing off the line as its all dark here now.Then lunch for us 3 and I might start the PC cupboard!!

    Hope everyone is ok xxx

    Is this Ikea as hellish as other Ikeas on a Sunday or are thing quiet 'cos it's school holidays? (or does that make no difference at all:D) All opinions gratefully received!

    Spoons, endless patience and sticks for black dogs are by the door as usual;)

    In lieu of a holiday and, since we have access to a van for a week, we're having Days Out so I won't be about much after tomorrow morning.

    Afternoon Alll

    Well since my 1st email I haven't had time to get back on here, too busy being fly, and I have taken on a few extra shift at the 2nd job while they are going to earn abit more money.

    Anyway, got off to a flying start, on tuesday I did my mountain of ironing and before work and was put in the bedroom waiting to put it way before 8am, but then i had to go to work and work 2 jobs on tuesday so that was pretty much it. I have cooked tea and loaded dishwash and put it on and emptied it 1 once on monday tuesday and wednesday, so all organised there.
    I have also tidied fridge but haven't made it to the cupboard.

    So onto today, still need to put the ironing away but before I can do that I have to tidy the bedroom and the waredrobe, so this morning I made a start on the bedroom and i hope to get that finished when i go home but I am working job 2 tonight so it may drag over till tomorrow but I will give it a go.

    List for tomorrow will depend on what i get done tonight, hope to update tomorrow.

    I haven't managed to catch up on the thread yet, so Hello, Welcome, Good Luck, congratulations and hugs to whoever needs them.

  • Oh i could really use this!! I'm not sure whether to join though - we are currently battling to paint 4 rooms in our house after building work and to get ready for a new baby, who will be here in about 8/9 weeks. I don't know if i've time to do all this too and when baby comes i know it will all go to pot for a few weeks. Mind you, maybe it will help me to stay on track and not feel overwhelmed. Oh i dont know!!! WWYD?
