Thanks pigpen for your list. It does help that other people don't do everything although I still think you fabulous keeping up with the washing all your kiddies produce!
Took baby for a walk for half an hour and she slept for about half an hour when we got back. I’ve n done the type of tidying where you shove all the mess in cupboards in living room, both bedrooms and the bathroom.
Have decided not to build on lists. If I don’t do something one day it doesn’t have to get added to the next days list.
So today’s list will be:
Hang out washing once finished
Put all paper work to be dealt with in a box or something out of the way in study
Tidy work surfaces in kitchen (just the surfaces the cupboards do not have to be tidy!)
I have a question for all you other mums. How do you manage to hoover. I can’t do it when Scarletts sleeping because I’m too frightened to wake her and then she never seems settled enough when she’s awake.
Yay to pigpen's sister - that must be such a hard job!
ScarlettsMum
Hoovering gets done infrequently here:D its always been better for my mental health that the babies nap instead of the carpets being fluff-free, saturday nornings are food when OH can be on small-person duty, or early evening my dh gets in by 6 does the bath and stories for an hour and I get a chance to get on top of things a bit.0 -
Off on a HHC 7.15
feel free to join me0 -
I'll join you dancemum

Well, I'm either running up to catch up half way through with Dancemum, or setting off an HHC all of my own.
Either way, it'll get more done than me sitting on by posterior fretting about stuff.Work is not my Hobby0 -
