Just breaking for lunch, so far this morning i've loaded wm, unloaded and reloaded dw and cleaned the kitchen, tidied downstairs and cleaned cloakroom, organised finances with online banking and writen a list of meals for the week.
Only 2 hours until school collection so off to attempt to de-clutter our bedroom and see what can be ebay'd!

:j Yay all our wardrobes sorted and organised, a nice pile for ebay too
How many DIY clothes does one person need! All chopped up now so now have a nice pile of fresh dusters.

Dinner is done (yesterdays leftovers) so think I will get the dreaded ironing done this afternoon. WHat a lovely leisurely day (and a nsd!)

Thanks for brilliant thread. I am going to start this as my husband is always doing cleaning and then commenting on how much I haven't done - I do work full time but am going to do in the evening.

Doing today's list plus extras:

1. Hoover bedroom and get rid of all dog hairs
2. Change bedding
3. find and print photos for wall collage
4. water garden when needed
5. clean cat and dog bowls regularly

greenbee good luck for tomorrow

thanks Dusty

AnW's sorry the weather is spoiling your plans. Can you spend some time with some photos instead?

LW - try Epsom salt baths if you can deal with baths, and magnesium citrate tabs... If magnesium makes you sleepy (it does me) take it at night, if it wakes you up, take it in the morning. I spent a lot of time in 2009 sorting out my sleep... Routine helps, keeping electricals/electronics out of the bedroom, turning them off at night, and having 30 minutes minimum electronics-free before bed.

I can't find my P60/P45 thing from the job centre :mad::mad: I have received it as I remember it arriving while we were off in April and DD handing it to me. I have been through every box file I can find, all the folders, every pile of papers I have and the only thing I can think of is that its either a) been thrown out :eek: b) its in DDs bedroom somewhere :eek: or c) its fallen behind a bookcase and I have 5 of them in the livingroom alone, 4 of which are 6ft tall :eek: Guess what I'll be doing next week - major sort out of the bookcases and pulling them away from the wall to check behind them

Off to try and clear the paperwork off the dining table, chase DD to do her homework, and then off to the library to return books. I need to renew mine and then I'm making a conscious effort to read them this time since its the complete Vampire Diaries collection and I'm only 2 chapters into the first book despite having had them for 6 weeks

Awful news Embb..makes you want to hug your family so close..

Have decided not to beat myself up about not completeing lists at the moment as still feeling really ill...this has been ongoing since I had the Flu back in March..went to Docs 2 weeks ago as have no energy at all..pains in my back..and now awful stomach pain whenever I eat...I have another appointment tomorrow as nothing came of the blood tests |I had done.

Did manage to hang out 2 loads of washing and go shopping today with DS1s help (couldnt cope without him ) and DD1 didnt even bring it in when the rain started apparently wiping down 1 kitchen side was enough :mad::mad::mad::mad:

So dashed out and fetched 1 load in and bunged it in TD

other load still on line
Emptied and refilled Dw with DS1
He put shopping away
Just waiting for BabyD to wake up so hoover can be pushed round....she is asleep in her buggy

DD2 cleaned out the fish and S@S bathroom..she can do some ironing later as she wants £24 for a new jumper and jacket tomorrow

DS2 will be emptying the bins before he goes to Air cadets.
Need to find energy to prep some tea

Love to all xxx to Toots LadyL and LW xx
