Hi everyone havent been keeping up over the holidays I work from home and with having 2 kids at home with me over the holidays its kind of hectic working around my husband and sister in law who works part-time and also helps us out. I would really like to get onto of things my daughter went to school full-time for the first time today she was very excited . I have 17 hours to work during the day and 4 hours in an evening so with my limited maths 30 hours during a school week should leave me with 13 hours during the week to get some of the house sorted whilst im home alone, so thanks to this forum I'm jumping feet first and will make a start on todays list now i'm done my 4 hours work.

Hi All!

OK, last night I washed, dried and put away one load of dishes (as much as I could wash and fit onto drying board in one go) and made dinner (chicken in tomato and basil sauce with pasta! yum!). Also wiped down kitchen surfaces again (trying to do as I go along so it doesn't build up) and that's about it.

Had a lazy one with the man, which actually turned into a late night watching the heroes of the 88th floor on discovery, only to be woken by OH's alarm at 6.10am this morning as he had a work training to get to. So, I'm quite zombie like, but it's my own fault for not going to bed sooner! lol.

I have the apartment to myself tonight as the training is a 2 day thing, so he's staying overnight there and will be back tomorrow.

So, tonight's plan:

Grocery Shopping
WM x1
Wash dishes
Make veggie soup for dinner and lunches
Pluck eyebrows (!!!!! - look like a hairy Gorilla!)
Use a Facemask
Re-Do nails - if time
PUT SOMETHING ON EBAY!!!
Sew hem on work trousers (if time)
Get to bed at reasonable hour!

Wendywitch - Stay safe! Sending safe vibes to you!

HUGS for all those who need them.

Hi All,

I'd like to try and join in. I live in a mess, work full time and have 2 small children and a DH (another child).

I lack time & motivation so hopefully this is going to help me out.

I'm going to try and get level one done although will probably be a day behind at best!
