    I also washed and two loads of washing this morning before I left. The first one was hung up but the second I will hang up when I get home.

    LO is having tea at his friends while me and his mum go to Zumba, so I will only need to feed myself when I get home (and my sister if she is there - not that she would let me know before hand...) so will probably be something easy like rubber chicken risotto. :cool:

    Very cloudy and cold here so no hope of washing drying on the line. Need to sort all the td stuff next and work away at that.

    Fire cleaned out and lit, s&s the kitchen and lunch done. :D

    Now for old clothes and paint brush.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Nicki - thats a fab idea - do you have a template which you use you could email me, or point me in the right direction of a website.

    All the ones Ive found online for LO are sort of pre-defined and cant really be changed. It sounds like you have one you can do whatever you want with! Im very impressed!

    I bought mine from Poundland :rotfl: There was only 4 in a pack so I'll have to see about getting some photocopying done ;) I'll also see about trying to get a picture on here later with it on ;) I gave up trying to make my own on the computer 'cause I kept forgetting to print them out :o I think they might be the ones that were in Aldi a few weeks ago, but they were more expensive in there if they are and I spent enough money on reward stickers (to use with kids in school ;)) without buying reward cards for DD :o

    Personal:
    • Washing
      • Towels
      • Lights - stuff DD brought back which is smelly:(
      • Darks - stuff DD brought back which is smelly :(
    • Put non-iron stuff away
    • Ironing - whatever needs it!
    • Washing up
    • Accounts
    • Clean mats/towels in bathroom
    • Form for Brownies
    • Collect books - after 6pm now
      • Write "call back tomorrow after 7.30pm" cards x 23
    • Put accounts in to council
    • Check through orders
    • OU - Read companion
    • DENTIST 4.15pm
    • Post DVD etc back
    • Stuff for work tomorrow
    • Cash Machine - Money to give to Brownies.
    • Write spring cleaning list:eek:

    Kept going after my HHC as I knew I could get most stuff done in another HH. I did my 5 mins decluttering in the kitchen and sorted loads of storage boxes and carrier bags. 5 mins in our bedroom and all my toiletries and top of chest of drawers sorted. Spare room I decluttered the shelf with all Christmassy bits on and know what is there for next year. Also decluttered all empty bottles etc from my gym bag.

    Ceiling painted and ebay parcel wrapped. I think i'll need to do another coat later or tomorrow but i'll see later when it's dried.

    Need to go sort the washing again and get Rhys up for the school run.
