    Arrrrghhh, yet again I posted a list a few days ago, then never came back!!

    I did however do some of the things on the list :D

    Today I PROMISE to come back and to get everything (or at least most) of my steps done!

    1. [STRIKE]Change DS1s bedding. Can't find where I've put the spare set since I've 'tidied' the airing cupboard and bottom of the wardrobe etc, as everything just got moved around. I know where the spare cot sheets are, but will have to wash and dry the duvet set today!! [/STRIKE]

    2. [STRIKE]Hoover DS1 bedroom, and the bathroom[/STRIKE]

    3. [STRIKE]Clean the George Foreman grill. Didn't get done last time we used it so it's all dried in, so we've been avoiding using it for a couple of weeks now[/STRIKE] :o:eek:

    4. [STRIKE]Clean microwave[/STRIKE]

    5. [STRIKE]Put away pile of clothes that got ironed yesterday.[/STRIKE]

    6. [STRIKE]Order the rechargeable batteries and charger I need from Amazon[/STRIKE] Found a surprise £10 Amazon voucher on my Shop and Scan order history from a while ago when I was checking that they had all been used! :j

    7. Put 15 bits of paperwork away in the correct folder (in an attempt to finally organise the massive paperwork box [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]Can't find the darm hole punch and stapler, have been looking all week but no luck. I literally cannot think of anywhere else they could be, they have disappeared! [/COLOR]

    8. 4 Ebay listings Ok, so the less said about this the better

    9. Print Tesco price check voucher and find the receipt that goes with it [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]You'd have thought the amount have time I'd spent looking for the stapler and hole punch, I'd have found my envelope of receipts that I've input into the price checker!! :o[/COLOR]

    10. [STRIKE]Clean basin in the bathroom[/STRIKE]

    [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]So I just remembered that I promised to come back, which although at the time I meant later that day, at least I have come back to these steps today! Only 3 days late or so. But good news is lots of these were done :T

    Steps for the rest of today, are to try and finish the roll overs above and

    1. Input data and email it off from audit I did yesterday

    2. Clean 2 of the seat pads from the dining chairs, as they have all sorts of dried in food and stains etc from my just darling toddler!! :p

    3. Half hour on exercise bike

    4. Do some digging in the garden with DS1 while the sun is shining: )

    5. Dry washing ironed and put away[/COLOR]

    Well I cleaned 2 of the seat pads, and left them in the garden in the sun to dry and help the tomato pur!e stain (don't you just love children!) fade, but they didn't quite dry so are leaning against the radiator so if it comes on during the night they can dry some more.

    A fair bit or ironing done, and everything that was done has been put away, which I'm usually rubbish at and it gets left in piles on the kitchen worktop, then OH dumps more on top, or DS pulls it down, and to then I don't know what's even been washed and what hasn't, let alone what's been ironed. If I get organised so there's no backlog and keep up with myself all the time then I will only have half as much work to do, as I won't be washing and ironing the same things 5 times over without them ever being worn!! :o

    We did some digging in the garden and watered the soil (haven't planted any flowers yet :rotfl: )

    The exercise bike is folded in the corner still :D:o but I am inputting my audit data now. (Well, I would be if I wasn't rabbiting on on here!)
