and were done for the day :T just hope I can keep this momentum up tomorrow thank you to everyone that joined in my HHC's today0 -
Hello
Can I join too? I have just stumbled across the thread and thought it was about time I gave it a read. I know I'm a day late in starting but as I'm off work on maternity leave (baby due Novemeber) I will aim to get todays and tomorrows lists both done tomorrow. I'm really struggling to get organised at the moment, the house is a bombsite. I've tried and failed to get everything done all at once and end up extremely disheartened and surrounded by more mess than when I started!! Really need to get myself into a routine of tidying and keeping it that way by the time the baby comes. So I shall start tomorrow, would do some bits now but am in bed already with back ache, and have done lots of ironing and washing today so don't feel like I have wasted the day too much
Really like having a structured list to follow and really like the added extras of the HHC's.
My frogs for this week are:
check and if needed book MOT
send off driving license
Clear utility room:eek:
wash all baby bits
sort spare room
take clothes to clothes bank
Look at online banking:eek:
Go to chemist
Go to supermarket:eek:
Clean the stinky dishwasher :eek:
Clean the fridge :eek:
scrub kitchen floors
Other frogs....
Take bottles to bottle bank
mend blind
make chutney
Clean skirtings
clean out bin :eek:
hoover matress
clean cooker
Look at ways of saving energy
email amazon man about laptop cable not working
After this week I will come up with my dailies.

No worries - at least we both got some stuff doneshort_bird wrote: »And Froddington, I'd like to see the furries photos as well. Saw a grumpy guinea pig and 2 very cute furries yesterday on the Dudley Zoo stall at the Bumble Hole Canal event.
Are you on Facebook? Lots of pics on my profile there. Otherwise I can PM some (some people don't like them so I can't post on here)

Tadpoles and most of the washing up toad seen off, now, what can I do to keep away from the last few chocolates?
Things Not To Do, no. 927:
When you are dieting, do not let a drunken man go to the shops to buy chocolate, he will buy a ruddy great box as he forgets he's supposed to be dieting as well:rotfl:‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

Tiddles reading folder sorted for the morning..
MUST remember to get Moomin and Tiddles to sort their games kit too.. they are needed tomorrow by all accounts.
When Tiddles was getting ready for bed on Sunday when she got back from KHs I noticed she had about a dozen tiny little bruises on each leg... possibly about 4-5mm across... and quite round.. I never asked about them I figured if she wanted me to know she would tell me... but now I am wondering how she got them.. it seems very odd to have so many without it being done deliberately.. they were new and still red on Sunday..
Tomorrows jobs..
