    Afternoon. I managed to get a bit done yesterday. Having the list to world through really helps. I tried to do one thing at a time, and not my usual flitting form job to job and getting stressed. I still need to squeeze in HHI into each day. It would help get my washing mountain down, but I seem to run out of day.

    Monday - Hall, Stairs, Landing and study/Family Room or similar
    Basic Flying
    Clear floors and Hoover- did the living room, hall and kitchen floor.
    15 minutes tidying this area
    Dust any fluffy surfaces
    Clean the downstairs loo and basin
    Also managed 2 loads of washing and got them dried.


    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Basic Flying
    Sweep and mop the floor - all swept and will mop before heading out on school run.
    Clear and wipe table
    Wipe the work tops
    Wipe all the handles in these rooms

    Decluttering
    Cleared and dusted welsh dresser and kitchen windowsill.
    Watered and sorted the kitchen plants that were getting dusty too lol
    WM on and bedding on line.

    I don't have any napkins or table cloths.

    Click go advanced, highlight the text you want to score through, and click on the button that looks like an s with a line through it.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    3 loads of wet stuff dealt with most on line!
    TD on with bits and fleecey things that dry quick
    Girls PC sorting itself now.

    This morning DD3 had to be at high school for transition at 9:30, cat at vet at 10 and tesco delivery 11-1.... so I fed Dot and left her in her basket, came downstairs to sort the pack up for DD3 and brush the girls hair.. and find DS3 barely conscious sprawled on the kitchen table, he said he can't go to school he can barely walk (kind of) .. so we checked his blood.. fed him some more watered him.. and then we have to wait before we test again.. breakfast for Squeak, sarnies made, lunch box dug out, 3 girls brushed.. test blood.. still low so fed some more.. where is the cat?? The cat that NEVER moves had disappeared... 10:15. after I had rang and changed her appointment to 4:40 (Hazel doesn't know sshhh) there she was smirking at me!!!! Ratbagging thing!

    Tesco delivery arrived and all just about put away.. now #i# am thinking I left the meat out.. argh... fat cats....

    Still no phone call. DS1 is being very trying. For the second time his application form has not made it's way to college admissions. My patience is wearing very thin with him.

    Kitchen s/s, bins bleached. Master Bedroom tidied. All hard floors swept. 3 phone calls to and from MIL re DS1.

    My walking partner can't bear the bright sunlight so no walk today.

    Bens sleeping so I need to get up off the sofa and do something. Kitchens good apart from the floor, have got a stinky washing machine though so think I'm going to put that on a maintenance wash again. Not sure why it stinks as I don't leave washing in there, keep the door open when not in use and regularly do a maintenance wash (90 degree wash taking approx 2 hours) if that doesn't work I'm going to scream :rotfl:

    Hhc anyone?
