Morning everyone
Guess what I sorted through on of my paper boxes - recycled most of it and filled the rest and alot were money off coupons I'd forgot about. only 2 more boxes to go and Ithink these are mainly kids pictures that I wasnt to keep for sentimental reasons and kids certificates I think I will get a couple of those box files to keep treasured memerioes in and together....any other ideas?
Today I have already
emptied DW refiled and on
made casserole in oven
made mince beef and onions - in oven

Morning/evening Flybabes/FlyGuy (think that just about covers it.....) :hello:
Didn't get as much done as I thought yesterday, but to be fair I didn't park my behind on the sofa until gone 8:30 - the clothes mountain was bigger than I expected. Got dishwasher unloaded and reloaded and dinner done - house nachos :drool: cleared kitchen table and surfaces, too:j
Today, I are'll be mostly:
putting away sorted clothes mountain
dinner - might give the fryer an outing and have fish & chips
DW
WM
TD
lounge needs keeping in shape :mad:
boogie bedroom :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: - I think it'll be more like a 270 fling boogie
Up, up and away

morning all you busy flies
well after a very (!) bad night i am sort of waking up - finally :cool:
nothing done upstairs so far (and now OH is asleep)
- d/w un-reloaded
- surfaces wiped
- playroom: toys off the floor and sweeped :T
do you also feel like since you are on top of something (like with me the kitchen) it's so much easier to keep it clean?!?!?! :j
firstly there is less to tidy/clean - secondly you do it sort of straight away because it's less .... does that make sense?!
let's make a plan for today :think:
- toilet
- bathroom
- sofas
lunch will be minipizza for kids and tuna/sweetcorn for me :j
no idea what's for dinner :eek:
did make a mealplanner but i've lost it
well, plenty in the fridge to chose fromI have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work0 -
It has just taken me 90 minutes to catch up with just my subscribed threads..... I don't want to loose my internet again!
Adding to a list of jobs I want to do as I sit here. Cleaning out under the bed is going to be an unpleasant job as all the Christmas pressies are under there, along with the Christmas tree, wrapping paper (including a roll that "santa has taken away" that is hidden inside of another roll) and I dread to think what else
I think that can be added to next thursdays list of things to do as I'll be getting the tree out ready for DD and OH to put up, me to put the lights on Friday while they are both out, and then them to decorate it when they're both in. Reminds me...must add "Check Xmas lights" to my to-do list for this weekend.
On Sunday I got OH to don the rubber gloves and help me wash down all the paintwork in the livingroom. It's not perfect, but you can notice a difference:D DD can set too making the paperchains at the weekend...and I might even put them up :shhh::snow_grin Off for another hot drink and to update my to-do list
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Today:
Empty and clean fridge - done
Did anyone else see the 'shocking' statistics yesterday revealing that lots of people clean their loo more often than their fridge? I'm one of them. Does this prove that I'm
a) a bit of a fusspot with a squeaky clean loo, or
b) a danger to anyone who eats here?
Or, of course, both.
Also to do
Prescription to chemist for traditional argument with locum (you'd think I'd remember the day to avoid)
New pot of soup bodged from not inspiring ingredients
Cut out wool jersey skirt
Pay bills
Top up bird feeders before rain arrives
I want to grind to a halt around 4 o'clock at this time of year. But it's less than 5 weeks to the shortest day, which I find a really cheering thought.
I forgot to say I started the day by getting 2 loads of washing on the line, but noticed that the detergent from the previous wash (Ariel tablet designed for 30 deg) was still in the drawer, soggy, but not dissolved. It's a new washing machine..has this happened to any of you?0 -

Ds1 still (!) ill so I am working at home today. Mostly tied to sitting next to him on the sofa watching chitty bang bang for the 40th time since Thursday -but he at least will let me work on the laptop.
Need to have a general ground floor tidy, empty the DW, fill the WM a few times and get the TD emptied and put away. At least ironing mountain has gone. I never did make it as far as upstairs to sort out under our bed, but we shall try today if he is feeling well enough to bounce on it whilst I clean. Hopefully he will be well enough to go to nursery tomorrow so I can have a good clean and do some packing. We are supposed to be moving two weeks on Friday so this is becoming urgent.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Hello Brummiebabe :hello:
I am impressed you are getting anything done with a new baby and children so full points for being 'bothered'! We can mostly only help with motivation and the odd kick if required :cool:'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0
