Morning Everyone!

Well I didn't do very much at all yesterday. After I came back from the school run, my sister called and was on the phone for 50 minutes and then I sat with a cup of tea to make a list and my cousin called for 1 HOUR :mad:. In the end I had to end the called because DS2 needed picking up from nursery.

After work and the second school run at 3 we went around to friends and didn't get back until 11pm. Didn't stop the little monkeys being up at 6am today :eek:

So, I'm carrying over a few things into the weekend:

Friday – Choose a room which never gets much attention
Maybe snug, kids bedroom, spare room, conservatory
Level 1
HH putting all the stuff away and rehoming items to other rooms
Level 2
Hoover or mop the floor
[STRIKE]Change any beds not done
[/STRIKE]Wipe all dusty areas with a damp cloth
Level 3
[STRIKE]HH Me time before the weekend
Catch up on phone calls you should have made
[/STRIKE]Hoover and S&S anywhere in need before the weekend

Also, I need to:

1. HHI x 3 (missed 2 days + todays allocation)
2. Get passport forms for DS1
3. Park before it rains!
4. Groom the dog - a 3 hour job :eek::eek:
5. WM
6. TD
7. Clear airer
8. Fold and out away TD
9. Clear off dining table
10. Trying to deal with a 5 year old who has suddenly decided to come home from school using foul language :eek::mad:. Already done 3 bursts of time out by 7am. Don't know who has taught him it but I'm not having it in my home. :mad::mad:

I think that's enough to be getting on with for today.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Claire - tip for cutting off phone calls - find the kitchen timer and set it off. Or even say 'oops... Something in the oven, smells like it's done, better go before it burns, bye'

Good morning

DW emptied, bed stripped & in WM, dog fed (DS has promised to walk him). I am waiting for something to print out, but it isn't. It does this every Saturday morning :mad: My printer doesn't like weekends!!

Ok. Need to put lenses in & shoes on and then I am off to art. I don't suppose I will do any painting, again Need to do a food shop later, then paperwork, paperwork, study, study! Oh joy!!

MMMMMMMmmmmmm Shopping ......................

and a great time was had, put loads in my basket then closed off the site, weird but I like doing it, it's like buying without buying

Been busy, cleaned both bathrooms inc. the walls (teenie got blue emulsion everywhere cleaning out the roller/brushes grrrr) skirts/doors/floors etc.

TD on as is WM, only 3 loads today then a load of towels tomorrow, this routine seems to be working out well for me. Haven't done my errands yet as waiting to drop littley off at nanas so will do them on the way back to save petrol/time :money: work this avo for a couple of hours, then littley's off to the flicks with a friend, I'm waiting for the 'will you drop us off please' sentence tsk!

I've swept the stairs (grotty ) and I'm toying with the idea of mopping downstairs. Cat is whinging.

or walk to the door and ring the bell...

(assuming (a) you have a cordless phone or you're on a mobile and (b) you have a bell!)

I have re-sorted under-the-stairs and have a box of ebay packing sorted, a box of listables all in one box, have put oft-listed stuff in charity bag *fling* other stuff I haven't used in charity bag *fling* and I now have a box, in there, for shoes. I threw out my shoe rack pre kitchen fit (was in kitchen), and once I have a new back door and, therefore, a catflap, I won't need a litter tray so the kitchen will look sleek and modern;).
So the plastic crate under the stairs will be a shoe drop-off point and will trap little bits of gunge and dried yuk from the shoes!

I now need £400 (roughly) for a door and I also need to look for a catflap which can be installed in a uPVC door. If anyone has any experience/advice on catflaps I'm all ears!

Went out last night. Admired photo on mates phone of frog-filled kitchen (well 2), one of which had hunkered down in the cats bowl. Am I going to be brought critters through the cat flap I wonder? :rotfl:

Afternoon,

I was too tired to post last night but kids beds were stripped, bedding washed and beds remade, S&S kitchen, DW on, WM on, floors swept and more shredding done:)

Today we've:

• S&S kitchen
• Swept downstairs floors
• DW ON
• wm ON
• hung washing out - line snapped as I was doing this:mad: so washing unhung and put on airer
• dog's been out
• shredding - when will this end:o

Then after the Grand Prix qualifying we want to:

• DD & DH are going to start laying new flooring in her room (dog got trapped in her room when we were out one day and pretty much shredded her carpet at the door trying to get out before he decided to make himself comfortable on her bed:mad: - perhaps I should set him away on our 'pile')
• DS & I are going to tidy and clean his pit:eek: - bedroom is too nice a word for the state it's in

hope everyone is well

take care
