Bolognaise on hob, simmering away.
Cushions from conservatory furniture returned from to their rightfull place and not on lounge floor!
DVD's pick up in lounge
Gonna pick up paper now (may set timer and let littles have a game of who can collect the most;) )
Wine - only got a tiny bit left in the bottle and dont have vodka left either - there are a few bottles of rum though:D
Best dash upstairs as littles spent 10 mins in playroom which probably means my bed it full of plastic food and cooking utensils:eek:

I am soooooo coooolllldddd brrrr...
Been cold all day, we have these awful storage heaters (had gas central heating in our last house) and no matter what you do, it just doesn't get warmer during the day.. Only heats up overnight and you are either roasting hot or freezing cold..
List for today:
hoover
WM
iron clothes for work tomorrow
dishes
[STRIKE]living room (Lil-me list)[/STRIKE]
hopefully doing some work will get me warmed up, hasn't worked so far..0 -
Right I've done nothing all day. Mum arrived with millions of things she wanted help ebaying. We managed 40 things, probably about 1/3 of what she bought! Its trying to snow and ive got the heating on so i should really get cracking and get my list done. The floor is clearer however as she took some stuff back with her so i can officially clean the whole floor!0

Hello Shortie! I'm a newbie too - from what I can gather you just check out the first post of the thread - it grows day by day (usually the night before).

Ho shortie, yes the list is added to the night before, tomorrows will be added later HTH
Well, I've done absolutely nowt!I mean I've seen to the kids etc but no housework and tbh it's rather refreshing, and I know I'll be back on track tomorrow so I'm not feeling the least bit guilty
Had a disaster in the kitchen tonight, thought I'd be clever and make a roast beef dinner (I'm a good little housewife - NOT) and forgot to add water to the pressure cooker so the spuds are black :rotfl: DOH! it's not the first time I've done that either :rolleyes: so to improvise I've stuck some jacket spuds in the microwave which I'll cut into quarters and that'll have to do, just waiting for them cooking now......*twiddles thumbs*0 -

Baby has gone to sleep early as he has barely slept all day, so i should be able to get a few bits done at 7 while i am preparing tea. (6:30 is always home and away with a sit down and a drink - that's the rule in this house)
Glad i got the windows done as they haven't been done for a good bit, and i love it when they gleam. I just know that the cats will have smeared their way across all 4 panes and filthied it up again by tomorrow. :rolleyes: The beauty of this flying is even if i don't get it all done, i am doing different bits each week, so it is all within a couple of weeks of having seen a cleaning cloth.
shell glad you got motivated.
