Morning all :hello:
Thanks Moggins for giving me a desk dayI have no diningroom and since I did the livingroom properly yesterday... :j:j Need to remember to take my cards with me today to school so I can go to the co-op and get some milk as we've just run out
Would be the morning when I WANT/need a cup of coffee :rolleyes: Could also do with picking up a few other bits BUT I'm not going to:p I have £40-50 left in the shopping budget for this month and I'm going to STICK TO IT so no shopping for me for anything until when we've run out of fresh fruit! I'm going to see if I can manage to stay away from Asda/Aldi for 2 weeks
Only need to last until Monday
Anyways, my list for today is lovely and short.- Dailys - Bed Bath Dishes Kitchen Evening meal Washingmachine (depends on when the weather brightens up...I'm not hanging towels to dry in the bedrooms!)

Morning all - nice to see everyone up bright and early
Please can I echo what Kaz said! You are not behind. Please don't try to play catch up. just jump in on the days tasks. Remember each room will come round again. If there's something you don't get done then stuff it, it will wait until next week, none of you are supposed to be working morning till night.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

well i'm up and dressed. I've hung a load of washing up and folded the clothes from the airers. Babies clothes and sleep-bag need washing today.
I'm not sure how much flying i will get done as i've been up 3 times last night and i'm feeling it today. I don't want to burn myself out as i've got plans for the next three days, and i can't really miss anything that is planned.
The bathroom was done on sunday so i'll just swipe that and try to deal with the coffee table and comp table today. I've already flung two xmas catalogues that i found on the coffee table. I can probably manage to move another 25 bits of paper from there.
Hope you are all feeling more energetic than me.

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd check in, cos for once I have been flying like a woman posessed!This morning I have:
Dusted, hoovered bedroom (no mean feat as this included hoovering about 15 teddy bears, and hadn't been done for ages, so dust was quite thick)
Hoovered hallway and kitchen (kitchen floor really needed doing)
Bathroom: cleaned toilet, washbasin, hoovered floor (unfortunately carpet until we re-do it), cleaned windowsill
Shone sink in kitchen, wiped down sides.
Made and eaten lunch.
Spent 30 mins on MSE and pigsback
Searched out uni powerpoints and printed off.
This is a lot for me lately, as I've been back at uni, and lacked the motivation to get on with things. Talking of which, I'd better go. I have a lecture at 1, and I don't finish until 5.30, so had better fill up my water bottle and pack a healthy snack so that I'm not tempted by the canteen.
A proud mouse signing off. xxEnjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -
I've done the washing and hung it round.
Polished and vacuumed the living room properly (furniture out, ornaments picked up and cleaned etc)
Wiped down surfaces and cupboard doors etc. in kitchen (that's my dining room too so that's included)
Chilli cooking now
Cat wants to come in for the 48th time this morning.....0 -
I've done zilch. The house is together enough to cope for 1 day without me doing anything other than the bare minimums.
So far I have spent 2 hours playing Slingo on Secondlife :rotfl: Don't plan on moving, except for food/drink/bathroom until at least 2.30
I didn't say that....I've been working honestly:A:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
