Ironing done and ironing board put away Should be able to sort out the rest of the study now (before I need to iron again ).

Suppose I should go for my walk (I can put the recycling out at the same time) and get myself sorted out for tomorrow. Have to remember to call the garage about winter tyres first thing as they've got a new shipment coming in.

Newbie here. When I started reading and subscribed to this thread (3 days ago)-I thought the list in red was for the WHOLE week!!


Oh dear. And I tried descaling the kettle yesterday and broke the lid in the process and had to buy another kettle.


Not even fluttering yet.

Evening all

Congratulations, AJ. That's lovely news (but just about all I remember from reading the last two pages).

I've done ok with my dailies today, but that's about it. Out of the house at 7am and back just after 6pm, made tea and read with DS2. Got DS2 ready, read to him and put him to bed. Since then I've been catching up with e-mails and also needed a short power nap. Bath when DH is out and a bit more work, but I really need to sleep.

See you all tomorrow. x

it depends when pigpen has a free minute. She has a busy life so fits us in when she gets 5 mins to herself :rotfl:. usually its anytime after 10pm, and sometimes not up till mid morning on the day, so just check and if the list isnt up when you are ready to get started, do some dailies or pick a room and start with a small task.

When Pigpen gets a moment... so when the children are in bed and the baby lets her sit down for 2 seconds

But if you want to get ahead, whatever room it is, she'll be telling you to clear out the junk and deal with it, and clean the floor too Or you can come round and clean my windows...
