    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.

    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 :()

    Need to update my list in a bit and then I think I'll head to bed as I'm sleepy!

    Either PM me your Facebook details or PM me the photos, I'm happy either way!

    Tadpoles and most of the washing up toad seen off, now, what can I do to keep away from the last few chocolates?

    Tuesday list done...

    I have sorted coupons, vouchers and written lists... I found a form DD3 can drop into school tomorrow and a card to post for a free 12Gb dongle.

    Squeaks juice refilled and taken up.. she drinks gallons that child!

    oooh.. bins out tonight..

    10 more dollops of crap sold on ebeast.. :D

    I haves a brokkid nail :(

    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..

    Sort hospital bags.. eviction notice has been served.. it has 10 days to vacate before being ousted.. sooner the better as far as I am concerned!
    Wash ALL my stinky slippers.. I have 3 pairs and they all smell like dog
    Get draught excluder tape on the french doors and my bedroom window

    Pay gas and electric bills.. !!!!

    OH seems to be coming down with manflu... if he even THINKS about sharing I will string him up!

    Bed time me thinkles!
