    Morning all

    Welcome to Newbies and returners.

    I am loving the frog lists, It is so satisfying knowing that those things that I have been putting off for so long are now done or getting done. so THANKS piggers.

    I was up at 5 this morning, so I will probably be flagging by lunchtime.
    My nephew went home yesterday after staying here for a week, so now I will play catchup with the flying.
    WM is on and first load will be ready to hang outside soon.
    Kitchen is looking like a bomb site so that will take priority today, then the bathrooms and downstairs loo although I did mop the floor in the loo yesterday as nephew does not seem to be able to aim straight.

    I am now going to get dressed and get started, will catch up later.

    Morning all, managed nothing much after last post yesterday (sister and BIL came up).
    Gonna be a busy day today, boys to get to school and then we're going to see DD's new school , hubby is in at 3 to get a lump removed from his head and then boys need lifted and then hubby lifted. So a good part of today will be on the road. :)

    Dw on already, wm to go on next and then i'll get the kids up.
    Have a good day everyone...

    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.

    Toots~~ you have a good rest and do as they say on your hospital stop. xx

    JOjo~~ I am sure you plan will work as long as everyone else arrives / collects on time!!

    The rest of you have done loads, even with your rugrats around, well done.

    My machine has gone 2.gif they finally came and collected it 2 weeks after it was off hired :rotfl: very MSE as I consider it 2 weeks free hire!!

    So now I must be very good and make sure I walk or do something at night, last night I gardened / mowed etc for about 1 hour.

    Daily stuff already done

    Have a good day xx

    Morning All

    Washing on the line and another load in the WM.

    My shoulder's killing me for some reason - it started yesterday so I'm going to jump in the bath I think and have a soak.

    Kids have got another sleepover here tonight so I'll have 5 kids later so that'll be fun! Other than that I've got a few things I want to do.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Oh no, what a disaster for you!

    Please, let me help.


    You can come round mine and clean my oven every week instead....

    I have to offer mine. After all Dancemum lives closer to me!

    I think S&S in the bathroom is a good idea, I could give it a quick wipe whilst Little Miss is in the bath in an evening, make my life easier on bathroom days, thanks for that!

    Welcome to the thread Unorganized. Dailies vary by person but mine that I TRY and do are recycling out, collect glasses/cups from rest of house, make beds and dirty washing, DW empty and fill, WM, hoover downstairs (pets and a rubbish carpet!) and S&S the kitchen and the bathrooms. I try not to go to bed without getting the kitchen up to a bare minimum as more than anywhere it depresses me to come down to a mess in there. Also suggested is dealing with the post - opened and filed as appropriate.

    That said it is nearly 9am, and I am sat here in my dressing gown with a cup of tea and a cat on my knee. Dentists at 10.30am then loads to do today. I did the drive clearing frog last night but I want to try and get some of the veg plot done today and some stuff planted out while the weather is lovely.
