  • Ive been loitering for a while, and think its now time to commit:)
    but I'm going to run a week behind as I cant get to the computer everyday (hope thats ok) so I'll print off last weeks list and crack on.
    If I could just get the house under control then I'll feel much less stressed.
    I'll let you know how I go

    Good Morning Everyone!

    The sun is shining :D and is meant to be for the whole day :D:D

    I'm in this week and I promise to stay on the wagon. My house is a much nicer place to be when I do.

    I think the problem I'm, having is now that I'm starting back to work. I only have 9-11.30 when I am completely childless and if anything comes up in that time, the FLYing suffers. I need to sort it as come September when both the boys are in school all day, I'll be working 9.30-2.00 everyday :eek:

    Here's my list:

    Monday - Bit of everything to kick start the week
    level one

    HH tidying or decluttering
    Hoover and mop the worst bits
    Level Two
    Meal plan for the week
    Collect the laundry and put a wash on/or strip a bed
    HHPaperwork/replying to emails/paying bills
    Level three
    Give sinks and toilets a scrub
    Clean WM and/or DW filters
    HHI or mending
    Extras
    If the sun shines try to do a 15 minute outside job
    Empty all your bins


    My Must Do's:

    1. DW
    2. WM
    3. Put washing on the line :D:D
    4. Wilkinsons
    5. Tescos
    6. Work 12-2

    See you later!

    Claire
    Declutter challenge - 81/1500 (5.4%)
    Make £2,021 in 2021 - £148.95/£2,021 (7.3%)

    I am in again! Thanks to flying for the past 2 weeks, I didn't panic (much) when we had a house guest this weekend.

    The house is still quite tidy now, so hoping to keep on top of everything this week to keep it that way.

  • In again, but off list due to long week at the paid stuff, and busy old time here in the evenings, but I'll do what I can. DH & DS being helpful so between us?

    Thanks for the lists - for tired brains they are so so helpful.

    Right, time to wake the boys and throw myself through some water. WM is about done, and maybe it can go on the line today?

    laters,

    Moam
    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.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Looks like it's stopped raining finally! Been away visiting my family over the weekend, had a lovely time but the trip back was awful due to the horrendous weather, was relieved to get in only to find teenie had had a party and the rabbit had been mauled to bits by a black cat STILL sitting over it :( It wasn't a good ending to an otherwise nice weekend. Many arguments and tears were shed.

    Been up since 5.30, paid a bill online and walked around with my eyes shut as everywhere I look there's more teenie party damage :mad: and someone had been sleeping in my bed :eek: :mad: teenie had changed the bottom sheet but I need to change it completely after work, 6 hrs of THAT today too, plus I need to find my receipts and do the outgoings part of my account, the income already done the other day. Sick as a chip!

    List:

    tidy LR
    mop LR
    pay bill
    change bedding
    WM
    TD
    sweep outside
    try and clean up paintwork
    rubbish in bin outside
    sort tea
    look for receipts
    kitchen

    I'm already on super-large brew no. 2, haven't read any of the thread since Friday so hope all is well xx

    ETA today's list

    Morning All

    So far this morning I've emptied the WM, loaded the TD, done some ironing, washed the dishes and cooked sausages for breakfast. Beavers and then a meeting tonight so I won't have much time.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
