I'm tired and unmotivated today as the weather is awful. Its so windy here my little greenhouse (plastic kind, about £15 from B&Q:rotfl: ) has moved about 3ft down the garden even though it's full of stuff that needed storing over winter! Just hope my hanging basket of strawberrys doesn't fall out of it :eek:

Got stuck in to the kitchen and I've cleaned the window, windowsil, tiles, and the top of the cupboards as well as inside the microwave :j Just waiting on the oven door now. Hoping I won't have to get a blade out to scrape the grease off it. I have no idea how it's got that bad as I mainly bake and do casseroles (covered) or pasta/potato bakes in there Unless it's burnt on from Christmas :think:

Anyways I'm having 5 minutes sit down with a coffee (once the kettles been boiled) and a banana muffin then I'll finish the kitchen, washing in and then off to DD's room... can someone bring over a BIG black forest gateau and a large bottle of wine please if I'm not back by 1pm? :rotfl: Will catch up on my other forums now as they shouldn't take long.

Pixisue - have you read flylady? there's a bit somewhere that says about typical 'she' things and how they afffect us and our families - and one of them was leaving the fuel tank run to empty... I think you need to convert your darling

Well after my whinge this morning I came home and
Tidied my bedroom - clearing all laundry/rubbish etc (why does the dog have to bring me so many 'gifts'? a pair of smelly socks at night is NOT what is going to persuade me that he may stay on my bed)

Whizz through the boys bedroom made their beds, cleared their laundry, general quick tidy & airing

Rescued dog basket and rewashed was on the line,lol.

Reduced ironing to half folded and put away anything that doesn't really need ironing, lol

Tidied Kitchen & swished all surfaces Ok, all worktops, and some others

Sorted & put on another wash load

Mopped up flood in the kitchen (water is now coming in through walls in the office and kitchen door!)

Tidied lounge.

Overall I wouldn't die of too much embarassment if someone called now, so I guess I'm sort of company ready - as long as they don't need the bathroom..... Only reason kids clean their teeth is to make a mess with toothpaste -and as for their aim..... YUCK, to little boys!

Morning all! Just a quick check in while I have a coffee break from painting DD's room.

Have stripped bed and linen washed and drying in tumbler.

Cobwebs on landing ceiling are fine thanks, especially the ones I sprayed gold for Christmas. I'll do the rest of it if I have time this pm. Have to take DS1 to doctor's for injection - he's going to Africa at Easter. (Last year he fell ill during trip to China, so I am more than a bit worried about this, but he was offered the chance to do it to make up for last year, so I'm trying not to let it show).

Must dash, painting awaits.

PS pigpen, I also do stuff just cos I'm too scared not to! Think I'd have to leave mse forever!

pigpen

lol Serena.. I am so pleased there is not just me that is so scared of this lot I daren't ignore the mess.. I should have found this place years ago!!

I am allowed in for 5 minutes while I make my lunch and have a cuppa.. I am finding a decent upgrade for DD1's phone and as she got a new one for christmas this one will be mine!

I have sorted the boys room and actually found the motivation to go through DS3's drawers and flung everything that doesn't fit.. anyone need a bag full of spiderman and scooby doo clothes.. mainly t-shirts lol.. age 6-7 ish?? Really anooys me when they outgrow stuff and it is barely worn!

Back to my broom anyway..

End of last year mine cleared a five foot fence panel and headed up the road :rotfl:
Grabbed it and shoved the bits in the shed. Will investigate when spring comes.

Well I've made a HUGE dent in DD's cupboard...and I don't mean literally :rotfl: Best bit is that I have also managed to clear out under my bed as well :j The only things that should be underthere when I've done is ebay items (which won't fit under the stairs and have to pass the OH test :rolleyes: ), the large suitcase which will have my exercise mat, ab-trimmer & scales in and the Christmas Tree in it's box as we've nowhere else to put it :rotfl:I've managed to re-home and sort 3 Christmas boxes, create a "DD Keep Sakes" box, re-home the box of electrical boxes from mobile phones etc, and sort out mine and OH's keep sake box 2 bags of rubbish later and I'm on the home run but needed to eat & drink. :j

Hopefully we'll either make a fortune on ebay (yes I know it's 10p listing day and I should take advantage of it, but ATM I'd rather gather all the stuff together in one place and then have less competition from other sellers. :rotfl: ) or the charity shop will be making even more money out of us again :rolleyes:

Nearly finished my dinner so off for a VERY QUICK scan of the other threads:p and then I'm off to tackle the end of the cupboard... maybe toys will be left to another day :think: :wave:

The trouble is that when you know you have things left undone, you can't truly relax as they are playing through your mind like Jiminy Cricket! Even if you just achieve a couple of things off the list it is better than doing nothing and as I said a couple of days ago people tend to over estimate how long things take to do.
!

it takes me 2 mins 10 secs to do my dishwasher so before this thread why couldn't i get it done in the morning!!! now i try to put it going earlier in the night so i can empty it before bed so even 1 less job to do in the mornings

karren

I just found this, and it shamed me to go and clean, so hae brushed and mopped all through downstairs (we have laminate), then cleaned kitchen and cloakroom and bathroom and childrens bedrooms, and oh i scrubbed the bottom of the stairs which i have been meaning to do for ages!! so thanks so much just my bedroom to sort and hoover now!
working tom morning but if ok after work I will sort out my room and wardrobe and sons clothes as he has grown so much lately!
So thanks all you have inspired me so much today!!
