    WM & TD emptied and reloaded, HHI done and dishes washed. All washing is now done so I'm going to strip the kids' beds and hopefully get the bedding in the WM before I go to work. I could do with the burst of energy I had last night now really!

    Going to find the lists now to see how much I've done off them.

    Morning all. Liking today's list, it looks faintly possible with the-baby-that-will-never-be-put-down.

    greenbee how are you feeling?

    eta "moral" dilemma...DH has broken two dishwashers...do I let him near the new one or accept that I will have to do it all myself??
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I'm fine. Bored. Restless legs which probably indicates I should get up, make breakfast and get on with the things I won't get round to once I'm back at work.

    How did DH kill the dishwashers? Can you retrain him? If not, allow him to load/unload or wash by hand, but not press the on/off button ever...

    Good morning everyone. I'm feeling inspired by you all so thanks for that. Any tips for getting my 25 year old DS out of bed and off to work? He works for himself so can't even threaten him with the sack!

    Good Morning all, hope all are well xx

    I have put a load of washing in, made the beds and done the school run.

    I finished 1 of 3 assignments yesterday as well :)

    I also forgot about santa's elf starting today but DD is under the impression that the reindeer from last year that she kept is going to be doing it again this year, so I don't need to get another one. Today he is going to get the stable ready for when DD comes home from school :)

    Yesterday was a ling day as neither the cinema nor F+B were ready for the strike and a lot of school children yesterday so a lot of the day was spent queueing!!!

    Off to Mum's at 10 so going to find a list and see what can get done here before then and then when I get back I can crack on with asignment 2 :)
