    Was going so well and then OH and DD came back from swimming and I asked DD to move her bits from the table.....and she had to dissect each thing...carrier bag issued and job done! She is the most amazingly tidy person in her room but has various spaces about the house which accumulate her goodies each day :)

    Right, all thats left to do tonight on the list is sweep and mop floor before I go to bed. Daillies left to do are hang washing on airers, wash up dinner stuff, take dry folded washing upstairs and put away before it reaches floordrobe, make beds and early night I hope!

    2 girls yelled at and stuffed in bed..
    1 girl back from dance just getting in her jims
    DS3 yelled at and is cleaning out bunnies cos they honk.

    DS2 is pleased because he got new school shirts... because he never gets anything you know because we all hate him (gotta love teen angst!)

    Cats hiding in case I yell at them too I think :p

    In addition I have also wiped over the skirting boards (in the kitchen) as I felt a bit guilty leaving them out. As a few of the tiles got a little tlc.

    Feeling quite proud of myself, it has made it easier that DH is doing gardening; I dont know if I would be able to do it if he is sat down; I would feel a bit put out!:rotfl:

    Thanks everyone for the motivation today, its my first day on the fly thread and you have helped a lot.
