ive got most of Moggins list done today ..when i was in the shower this morning ,,,,,,,,,,,,,went round all the tiles & bath taps etc with stardrops BEFORE i had a shower.then scrubbed and washed them while i was in
i only started a few days ago , and the kitchen was a big hotspot , but because of what i already did a few days back .ive got a lot more done in there today . ( Still need to sort the fridge out ) but thats about it .
Got hubby & ds down with man flu .so thats not helped ( hope i dont get it )
Stupidly decided to tackle one of the drawers under the bed , that was a mistake ,just made a big mess, and had to put most back to make the bed.........but ill have another go at it tomorrow .
Got a few surprises when i cleaned the floor part under the cupboards in the kitchen .found a lot of dead food, so its got to be a lot cleaner now ,
Again with already joining in the thread last week , moggins tomorrows list doesnt seem too bad,,,,,,,,,,,need to hit another hotspot though.0 -
Well the CMA (marked online) is done now, cracked on at 9.30pm when I got in from meeting, I think I just guessed half of it, but thankfully thats just the prep one and doesn't go towards final mark, I told them I'd have to rush it! Not my fault, and because it's marked by a computer they can't extend date, oh the joy of computers! Lecturer has extended the date for the written assignment he has to check, he was lovely on the phone too
which helped!
Tomorrow, I am out at CAHMS with DS1 9.30 and won't be back until 12 midday, will have to try get my flying done when he goes back to school at 1pm if possible, inc catch up for today, and start the assignment (don't want to take the pee) Will post my list tomorrow afternoon.One day I might be more organised...........

Actually did well today;
1) Bathroom (all stuff on Moggin's list)
2) Kitchen (all stuff on Moggin's list)
3) Work for three hours
4) Study for one hour
5) Paperwork for half an hour
6) Helps out at children's school for 2 hours
7) Kickboxing one hour
8) Homework with children half an hour
9) Play with children one hour
Thanks for that poem Moggins, puts my priorities in place so;
1) Children's homework, tea and play (2 hours)
2) Work (4 hours)
3) Clean living room, hall, stairs and landing (1 hour)
4) Walk dog (half hour)
5) Study (2 hours)
6) Take mum to shops (2 hours)
Wow, when I put it like that I've just taken 11 and a half hours out of my day. Making lists has really made me organise my time better, studying half an hour before a client arrives etc. I'll catch up tomorrow when everything is finished so it'll be about 8.30 pm.
The kitchen is gleaming, the bathroom is spotless, hubby has got to the end of the ironing basket and I am tired but happy.
Still so much to do but I realise I've done enough for today. Night all xx
PS Didn't go kickboxing coz i've got a cold!January budget
Nothing left!0 -
Blimey you have all done fantastically well, I however don't feel like I have achieved much today.
After the great hunt for my driving licence I did do almost 2 hours of paper [strike]shuffling[/strike] filing and shredding so I suppose all is not quite so bad.
Managed to keep the lounge, hall and stairs clutter free and must admit when my friend came tonight it was great not to have that last [strike]minute[/strike] hour panic 'bung everything where they won't go' rush around. Apart from making my bedroom a hot spot the rest is slowly starting to come together. I too will have a house to be proud of...............one day :TOfficial Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -
Hello again :hello:
Well after a nice relaxing evening of watching TV (thanks to all this Flying :j ) I decided to tackle the tea dishes which would usually be left for OH to do in the morning. They are now washed, dried, put away, worktops washed, oven wiped out (jacket potatoes for tea and it was all steamy), sink shined and I've just put the plate rack in to soak in a bleach solution overnightMy kitchen (apart from the soaking plate rack
) looks spotless :j:j
I'll leave putting up my list as DD actually cried this morning when she couldn't do itI'm off to bed now knowing that when I wake up in the morning there will be only OH's breakfast dishes next to the sink
PLUS DD's lunch is already made, so I only have to make up her breakfast & drink
I might actually get to sit down and have breakfast and get some dailies done before I leave for the school run at 8.45/50
Night All xxx
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0
