    Tuesday

    Living Room - Dust, Hoover, Polish, fluff cushions, check to see if lace curtains or voiles need chucking in the wash, damp any hotspots, hoover down sides of sofas, clean TV screen, empty waste paper basket. Sort magazine rack, clean telephone. Clean skirting boards, clear any junk from under sofa.

    Hoover and dust hallway, sweeping away any cobwebs, dust skirting boards.

    Hoover stairs, dust skirting boards and check stairway for cobwebs.

    OMG I think I'll be able to do all of that :j epsecially the lace curtains bit cause there are no curtains in the lounge :D Had a good go at the lounge on Saturday so hopefully I will be able to catch up elsewhere :o

    Goodmorning all!

    It is 8:12 A.M. and the kids and DH have just gone out the door. It's just me and my two yrs old now. I'm working this afternoon, so time to get dressed now and get cracking!

    It's the living room today! :T
    I will include washing the windows as that needs doing desperately!

    I am SOO happy!.. it is 10 minutes after breakfast, and my kitchen looks GREAT! DW is loaded.. and it's all neat and tidy again. WHOOHOO!! LOL!

    Daylies include:
    Toilet
    kitchen tidy
    pick up toys
    make beds.

    SO off I go.. upstairs, make my bed as I'm there to get dressed anyway.

    Have a great day all!
    Happy flying!

    Overslept again this morning :mad: What is up with me? Didn't get up until 7.15 so all my good intentions of getting things done might not happen after all :o

    Washing machine is already on with a load, only managed to get 2 done yesterday. Most of what I washed yesterday is dry so I'm thinking that since I want to watch both episodes of the new CSI series on 5 tonight I'll take the ironing upstairs to do while watching the portable ;) IF it was just one episode I wouldn't need to resort to the portable but OH wants to watch a film at 10 :rolleyes:

    We've all woken up with flu like symptoms to some degree or another (I'm last...again!) so not a very happy household ATM. Isn't stopping DD singing "Angels" at the top of her voice while she's in the bathroom :rotfl:

    Right, my list (DD gave me permission to do it myself :rotfl: )
    • Dailies
      • Beds
      • Bathroom
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen
      • Wash load - another 1
    • Livingroom
      • Dust
        • TV screen properly
        • Wipe skirting boards
      • Hoover
        • sofa
      • Take cushion covers off to wash
      • hotspots

    • School run x 2
    • Make bolognese up for tea
      • Assemble lasagne for Thursday ;)
    And anything else that comes to mind :rolleyes:

    Just checked on "Money" whether OH had updated it like he's been promising to do all month and he hasn't :mad: HEADS WILL ROLL... how am I supposed to do a budget for the next pay-month when I don't know how much money we have/owe! :mad::mad: MOST Annoyingly I left him a note on the desk ONTOP of his friends birthday card (which is left up to me to post!) which he has written the address on :confused::mad: MEN! :mad::mad:

    hi all

    well my house does look a lot better than it used to, an now we meal plan so we eat better and cheaper but i must admit i am finding it hard to do the jobs in a routine way as have a 18 month old and nearly 3 year old at home who have chickenpox. So even the few hours when the biggest would go out to preschool are gone at the moment.

    anyway - i can get things done for a little bit whilst they watch cbeebies but the 18 month old gets bored easliy and then just pesters his sitster to play with him so she gets upset as she wants to watch cbeebies.

    Anyway - got bathroom done yesterday and part of kitchen.

    Lots to do today to catch up plus must start to organise the garden as it has become a dumping ground for stuff to recycle, get rid off.

    anyway better go and clean out the oven, i put the oven cleaner in yesterday but never had a chance to wipe it out so it has been on for 24 hours!

    hopefully OH will take them out with the dog for a walk at luchtime so i can have a mad hour trying to catch up.

    i am determined to do this..... i will recliam my house from the dirt and the clutter. I have been miserable about this for so long, it is time i changed things...

    back to the oven....

    Morning :hello:

    Made a start already this morning, WM on and TD, bin out for binmen, breakfast dishes done. Did the night-time routine last night and it works! I had the biggest smile on my face when I entered the kitchen this morning, cause I'd forgotten I'd done it and it looked fab, was organised and clean and it was well worth it, so gonna keep it up.

    Things to do:-

    Moggins list re: Living Room/Hallway/stairs including the windows - they're like :eek: so they def need doing Done

    Also to do:

    * WM x 2 Done
    * TD x 2 Done
    * Make beds Done
    * Wipe cloakroom toilet Done
    * Pre-pepare tea checking freezer for stuff for microwave
    * Wipe dust off new tiles in kitchen (made a huge difference to the kitchen and my well being - horrible dirty plaster is not nice to look at and it was obviously was getting me down Done
    * Measure living room window for curtain rail (I'm guessing 8ft :eek: )
    * Wipe over kitchen floor (again) Done - twice!
    * Fold washing/put away


    Well, that'll keep me off the streets for a few hours :D

    Have a good one folks! :) x
