    . taken delivery of my tesco shopping.. grand total.. £13.37!!! not bad considering I order £95 of food!

    I'm well impressed but erm how did you manage that?

    Sorted the post, all 3 bits of it! Two ebay cheques and one bank statement. Packaged ebay stuff ready to go to PO, collected DS from preschool who wanted to know why I was washing the racks in the bath!

    Feeling reasonably pleased with myself but not even scratched the surface yet.

    The score of the day so far:

    Breakfast with kids as usual. Then off to work.
    Home at 13:30

    2 yrs old to bed, which makes cleaning the kid's room difficult as the 4 girls share a room. Can't clean whilst one is sleeping in there.

    Hoovered the stairs and the upstairs landing though. tidied master bedroom, and DS (16) bedroom. (they are both tiny so fast going!)

    wiped down light switches and sockets downstairs landing and upstairs landing.
    WM on
    Dryer on
    DW on
    quick wipe down of kitchen


    Left to do:
    hoover living room and kitchen
    toilet
    clutter controll
    administrive stuff
    and loads of every day things

    I'm not sure.. they just accepted every single code I put in.. and was I going to moan?? No chance!!

    Ebay gibble now listed too.. PHEW!!

    I am fed up.. I have decided there must be more to life than looking after the children and cleaning the house.. no time for anything else.. but I am REALLY bored now!

    The little one is in bed.. I need to wake her to go collect the others soon.. but there MUST be more to it all than this.. drudgery!

    I am having an itchy feet day I think.. might drag my mother off to pub tonight if I can get warm! When are you too old to forge a reasonably successful career from nothing?

    Someone posted this further down the board but it does not seem to have had much response. I thought as so many newbies may be having a clear out of all those cupboards this may be of interest..
