    Morning All

    DH's alarm went off at 3.40 - he isn't even here, he went to his lorry last night - I was so not impressed but I did manage to get back to sleep. TD on, WM loaded but not on as I've realised I've got no washing stuff - DH did the shopping on Saturday when I was at the NEC. Just going to do some ironing.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Count me in!

    Thanks to Dustykitten and Juliejim for the lists - where would we be without them!

    Got Mother's Day over with - first one with my mum 140 miles away so that was different - saw MIL on Saturday so we had yesterday to ourselves. Nothing from me for my two - the 4th Mother's Day they have ignored me, also birthdays, Christmas etc. Will get used to it one day!

    Todays list looks good so will be aiming to get as much done as possible - we are going to the Ideal Home Show on Wednesday (not been for years!) so that will be good.

    Onwards and upwards!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Good to hear you have some help Bossymoo

    Airing cupboard as been emptied, dusted and washed and will be refilled after breakfast. DW emptied and stuff put away. Just eating breakfast, then will put washing on, refill airing cupboard to reclaim some space, put the sofa bed away and get dressed before planning the next move...

    Morning, I've been here a couple of times in the past, but didn't stick. Hope you dont mind me joining in again?

    My house is getting on top of me. I really need help getting it sorted. I don't know where to start, so hopefully following your lists and adapting them to my house, I can get motivated.

    I have my 10 month old dd home with me all day, then pick up Ds at nursery at 11:30 am, then back to the school at 3:20pm for DD1. So my many school runs takes a big chunk out my day.

    But the house is starting to depress me. My oh works hard and helps by doing dishes and making dinner at the weekends, but the housework all lies with me.
