I'll join to to try and join some of those dots :T:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
Hi all, would it be OK if I join you? I quite like housework but often need the motivation to get started. My DD is home mornings as she is in afternoon nursery school. In light of this I often get distracted but try to catch up once she is in school.
Monday jobs done so far:
All windows opened for airing the house (I do this every day)
Son dropped off at school
Beds made and turned back for airing (I do this every morning)
WM on with first load
Recycling sorted and out for collection (collected every Monday)
Bins emptied and freshened up (I do this every day)
Dry laundry sorted and stacked ready for ironing
Sorted out some cupboards yesterday so moved some things in a 'pop in the loft' pile, 'pop on ebay' pile, things to bin and charity shop items moved to the garage for when I get a chance to dispose of them.
Sit down for cuppa/breakfast and MSE catch up
Will update the rest of the list later today when I get a chance.
I have read the introductions to this thread and I hope I understand what I am supposed to do. If I get it wrong please let me know.
Looking forward to reading all your posts. Hope you are all having a great start to the day.Avatar courtesey of HC :beer:0 -
