    Missymoo, I dusted the bedroom, s+s'd the bathroom, brought down all the washing, put a load in the machine, put the TD on, s+s'd the kitchen, washed the dishes, made a curry, and a sandwich....and scoffed the sandwich.
    Want to try and finish the dailies before going to work..........(and s+s the kitchen, again!!!)xx

    YAY!! Window cleaner is going to add me to his round!! :j And it's only £6 for the whole house!!

    Only thing is that he'll see my daughters shockingly messy pit :eek: They don't even have a net curtain to shield it as the kittens shredded it :(

    And of course this is the only day they've remembered to open their curtains and he's doing them now!! :eek: _pale_

    I'm going to have a coffee and put DD2's pillows in the WM "can you buy me new ones? They've gone flat" erm I think not . . .

    nixie (((hugs)))

    Well Zumba was hard work. Met a couple of people I know from the village, but mostly retired people. They can move better than I can:o Feel like I really did a workout while having fun. Will definitely be going back (its literally across the road from me so there is no excuse)

    Off to shower then plan flying/work.

    DH still not home from hospital so that plan is scuppered.

    Jo send a message saying they've paid second so unless they want to pay or first it will be sent second. I don't find it makes any difference these days to be honest

    Well that was done quicker than I thought, living room now empties apart from sofas, rug outside where it's windy enough to blow some of the fluff off and air it a bit. Got a washer load one, another out on the line *weather watching as I type* cleaned stuff from where sofa joins that's snook through as I've split those ready to put on top of each other to do flooring.

    Right, kitchen next I think as DP went out at 9.30 'back in a few minutes' he said ....guess he's not doing any of it today either

    Wendywitch my friends just shamed her DD into sorting her room by offering to show her friends :o
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Right it seems to be the only thing that is working for me so anyone want to do a HHC 11-11.30 starting now.... off I go!
  • Missymoo.....I did over run slightly and I have found a routine that works for me (Picking up wshing while in each room, dumping at the top of the stairs till I go down and although not moneysaving I find the cleaning wipes fab for a quick s+s)...(although I don't always follow it!!!....I have been sat here since eating my sandwich!!!)


    Off to put the hoover round and check on the curry....will see how much else I can before 11:30.........join me if you can.........xx
  • im back and going to try and get back on this flying malarky!

    crap week so far. my ex is in the army and just got posted and i needed to find out where he moved to so i rang up the guardroom of the place i thought he was at and asked them to check and just my luck my ex was in the guardroom and the muppet put my ex on the phone!! i hung up and ex then called my parents giving them this whole sob story about how lifes been hards for him, he wants to be a father to my kids, anything any of us need i just need to ask blah blah blah but then went on to say all my friends have been telling him everything i do, he knows where i live, he knows i have a boyfriend (which i dont!).

    it really scared me and upset me coz i didnt want him to know i was planning on divorcing him and everything he was telling my parents really shook me up and i spent all day yesterday walking in the rain with DS2 asleep in the buggy in a daze.

    then today i was late almost late dropping DS1 at school coz there was loads of roadworks then the road outside the school was mental and i got blocked in coz there was people trying to get down this dead end street before letting the rest of us out of it so i had to park half on the pavement to let people past so i could move then more people started trying to drive up/down again so i gave up and ran up the path and dropped DS1 at school then came back to my car where there was this woman stomping around her drive way with a face like she ws chewing a wasp glowering at my car. i unlocked it and got shouted at by her for blocking her driveway! i wasnt even parked on her driveway! i was parked before the kerb started to drop but she was such a bad driver she couldnt get her tiny punto out the drive and it was my fault! she looked at me like something she had stepped in.

    so ive came home, had a bacon sarnie, a cup of coffee, a few good cries and stuck the kids bedding on to wash.

    i dont think ill follow the lists this week ill do my own lists and today i will
    1. Strip all beds
    2. Hoover both bedrooms
    3. Put away ironing
    4. Finish cleaning bathroom (started it last night) and wash floor
    5. Hoover the stairs and hallway
    6. Hoover lounge and kitchen
    7. Wash kitchen floor.
    hugs and everything to everyone who needs them
