I did my half hour work. All done in the living room. Having a cuppa then get the porch done. Dreading that as it's freezing cold in there.

pigpen I'm a big softy when it comes to school and being poorly. It stems from me being sent when I was a kid... regardless. Cruel mother! :rotfl:

Not sure how much I'll get done this week as we are now into our 6th week of child illnesses. We've had chest infections, hand foot & mouth, sickness bugs, now we're on to ear/throat infections, colds and flu. We just can't seem to get out of this cycle. They have a day or 2 of being a bit better then something else hits. Really starting to get me down now.

It has given me lots of time to write lists and plans whilst confined to the sofa giving mummy cuddles. So I have devised myself a dailies list which I need to get done as a minimum.

-make beds / air bedrooms
-WM on
-TD on / hang out washing
-DW empty
-w/up or stack DW
-S&S Kitchen
-Make bread
-HHI
-Clean clothes folded/away
-Dinner prep
-Any batch cooking/ baking
-Check/ defrost dinner next day
-Hoover/sweep downstairs

The idea is that if I can get this list and the flylady list done daily, the house should be pretty presentable, ironing/washing piles kept down and we should be well fed!

Wow. I didn't think my hall had a floor ;-) Or that we had so many coats. It does help to see if you replace the 2 lightbulbs that have been out for about six weeks.

Now just have to take all the stuff to Oxfam tomorrow (trying not to go into town today so that I continue NSD's and GC target and I have very little willpower.

Off to collect dog from kennels. He'll probably come in and start shedding all over the hall floor, but that is unavoidable when you have a Lassie dog. We go through SO many hoover bags its unbelievable. OH keeps suggesting I knit a jumper!

Morning flyers, so far vacuum room and mopped kitchen, wiped door tops, conservatory windows and wiped frames and tops, washed front dooor and done skirting boards in room especially the one by door where shoes go on mat when wet:eek: shame on me:). WM done and TD just got to put it away. DW emptied and stacked . Feel back on track now after a no fly weekend. It felt lovely though not to be rushing getting clothes washed and dried on Friday for DS2 to go to his dad's (from now on known as........ hmmm .....what's short for violent arrogant bully who's mum still wipes his a*se at nearly 50 thinks our 2 kids need to see a doctor weekly and they aren't fed right or looked after right, i shop at local farm shops and do all home made meals, and when DS was ill with cough and cold virus said the bedding needed washing EVERY day,:mad: Regardless to say he never sets foot in my haven of a house. Sorry rant over) Ideas for x's name welcome but have to be printable :rotfl:feel free to pm me with the better ones pleeease:rotfl::T

Its not all bad i am now married to the most wonderful man in the world and wouldn't swap him for all the lottery wins ever won. It's a wonderful thing to feel safe in your own home.
Hugs to all who need them xxx
