    Childrens rooms/Spare room - Tidy, hoover, clean skirting boards and windowsills. Change bedding. Most of the bedding has only been on a few days the only room I can do is having the plaster knocked off one wall tomorrow.. so I'm not even going in there!!!

    Quick hoover round downstairs and tidy ready for the weekend... back to the back room today!! nowhere else seems to need doing this much! I almost feel motivated at the moment.

    do meal plans and [STRIKE]sort out paperwork/anything that needs to be dealt with ready for Monday. [/STRIKE]that'll only include what the postie brings!

    My List

    [STRIKE]WM[/STRIKE] I even brought down 2 loads of the 'hidden' pile on the landing.. probably another 2 to do, but it is reducing now I know it is there again![STRIKE]
    TD
    DW
    BM
    fold [/STRIKE]and [STRIKE]put away[/STRIKE] dry stuff.
    [STRIKE]Hang up pile of wet stuff[/STRIKE] that cannot go in the dryer before it pongs.
    [STRIKE]finish sorting the backroom[/STRIKE].. half done!!.. maybe 3/4 really washed window, nets, sofa, rehung curtains and clean nets and folded the pile on the sofa that needed to be put away.
    [STRIKE]DD1's patent/tutor meeting at 1:30pm[/STRIKE] Sent DH to be told she is wonderful and perfect and they love her!
    [STRIKE]sweep round the kitchen[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Ring GP re. results AGAIN.[/STRIKE]
    Pack up ebay gibble that is selling today (£43 at the moment!! on 7 things and 3 are looking at going much higher with 11, 17 and 9 watchers! We can but hope!) not finishing for another couple of hours, so might be getting done tomorrow
    [STRIKE]reply to one email[/STRIKE] it is a friend and I am useless at keeping in touch

    All in all not a bad day... I guess..

    I even washed the cream leather sofa down in the back room.. it was FILTHY!!!!! ... looks all nice (apart from the biro scribbles) and twinkly now.. DD1 is VERY inpressed with my clean windows ... now has the clean nets up and one draw curtain I don't ahve any clips for the other one yet.. I'll add them to my shopping list for tomorrow.

    [STRIKE]Catch up on laundry [/STRIKE]:j empty basket here too, had to strip the kids to get a wash load on
    [STRIKE]Finish kitchen[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Meal plans [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Paperwork (desks a mess with it again) [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Rest of dailies (inc floors, make dinner, bread etc) [/STRIKE]
    Night time routine

    Not bad here either :D did have to of course redo the bathroom after DP had been in getting ready for work! :mad: bits of his shaven hair in my shiney bathroom sink! Got a stack of laundry to put away when I put the boys to bed that I've just brought in, have put that into nighttime routine as that's when works best for me usualy, but I did put some stuff away immediately when it was dry today, which I have never done before, I'm starting to worry that I am becoming a tad obsessive! Previously some loads wouldn't have had chance to be put away as were just used off pile on landing!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    embb we're all allowed those days every once in a while so don't worry about it, tidy your head first as without that you can't fly :)

    Did I see a Flyboy skulking in the corner?!?

    Moggins How has you DDs day been?

    Nicki I am in awe of your daily lists!!

    I have woken this morning with a dull headache - have been going to bed too late, so that is something that I really need to work on this week.

    Today looks like this:

    [STRIKE]Breakfast
    Make bed[/STRIKE]
    Laundry - washed but not hung out yet
    [STRIKE]Josh to SPCA[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Flea treat[/STRIKE] and worm puppy
    Gardening for MIL - rained quite heavy last night, so I think it will be too wet
    Pick Josh up from SPCA - take puppy out so they can see her
    General tidy up for weekend
    Buy some energy drink and hope it works
    Dinner
    Business/personal finances

    I'm sure I'll potter lots - nothing major will get done, but I promise I WILL potter :)

    Sweet dreams everyone.

    good evening :hello:

    pigpen: well, the basket was empty ... for full 2 minutes!!! :eek: found some clothes in OH's office :eek:

    on the topic of OH: he came home at 7am as usual, we had a brief chat and he went to bed 20min later. shocked me 2hours later by coming down, wrapped in his duvet and shivvering all over (not the shivvering shocked me - but i just didn't expect him that early :D) - so medicine and back to bed. that was at 10am - and now he's still asleep :shocked: - must be serious :think:

    well, i got through the day with the kids. they are rather good though. cheeky, willfull but funny ;) (2,5yrs and 15 months)

    might have an early night for once :dance:
    I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work ;)
