A slow start is in order today. Not sure if it is from the vacuuming yesterday or bowlig last night but my back is really aching. DH has asked (as he does every day) if I will take it easy, I probably should as I don't want a sore back for Christmas or New Year (we are going skiing for that). If he knew how much I actually do during the day he would be in for a shock, he is so used to the house being tidy and quite clean that he doesn't notice me doing stuff anymore.

My own list for today:

Get a small gift for my mum and wrap it
Get food shopping
HHC in small room
Back up laptop
Sort handbag and shred any receipts
Oh...and the lists

Monday - kitchen and dining room
Level three
Make sure you have everything bought/ordered/list made for the weekend. Just need to buy fresh food

Tuesday - Living Room, hall, downstairs loo, any other downstairs rooms you've missed
Level Two
Last minute check on presents - have you got everything? 1 left to buy

Wednesday - Upstairs or Downstairs if it's a bungalow or a topsy-turvy house!
Level Two

JulieJim I'm still ironing..... I did the upstairs and downstairs baskets then found some in the utility room. DH came down from hanging his shirts up and told me that there was a basket of ironing in the study..... Sigh

Final push then there will just be the day to day stuff as I wash it.....

Goodintentions

Good morning

I have stacked the DW, fed the dog, loaded the TD, and emptied the TD & folded the washing. I started work at 9 this morning, so I won't be up to much this morning.

Hugs & spoons to those that need them

juliejim

All my ironing done - just the mountain of kids' stuff left now. Going to leave it now though as I'm going to sort out the presents which are hidden in DD's room as she's out with my mum at the moment.

Yay! Nothing to do on today's list , does this mean I can spend the day crocheting? :A
