Still awake tonight ........just . I have managed to tidy up the majority of the house. Did a load of wash. Loaded DW and will empty in a minute. Sorted out sons wardrobe and drawers and got loads for e-bay. Only DD's wardrobe etc to sort now and then onto toy cupboards. Freezing here today. I can't wait until the weather gets a bit better as I am knackered just now and I know the sun will give me a wee lift. Fed up with my lounge looking like a launderette as well:rolleyes:

Hi y'all,

Having read what everybody has achieved in this thread, I am exhausted - yawn! Think I need to take at least the next 3 days off from housework to recover!

But definitely going to try it soon, you are all amazing!

pigpen

Todays mantra didn't work... I went to the pub.. *shame*

AND I am also going tomorrow and leaving my 15.5 year old to babysit!!! Such a BAD BAD mummy I am!!!

I did go to tesco and buy a new loo brush though so my 2 toilets WILL be clean and twinkly! I also bought some other cleaning products that I am f***ed if I can remember what they were so diluted by alcohol is my thinking..

Off to find uniforms and get my fluffy rubbery self off to bed!!

Love and fluff and twiglets to you all.. I REALLY like it here do you all know that??

Oh dear - a day late and a dollar short as usual

I'm just not keeping up with you lot. Seems I move to my own tune, so to speak LOL Mondays and Tuesdays I get nothing done around the house other than maybe 1 load of washing. I work those days, so I tend to fit the housework in to the days I'm home.

So far Thursday has seen me:
Two loads of laundry, plus two of kids blankets;
Dust whole house
Vacuum whole house
Put the odd bits and pieces that have been lying around away
Buy two new towels that were on special.

Good morning!!
4 people turned up last night out of 12 invited (all of whom said they would def be there), had 2 late calls saying they couldn't make it - but what happened to the rest? And it was in aid of their bl**dy toddler group!! And it was a free evening out... I do wonder sometimes.
OK - on the positive side I did the bathroom last night, and so I should be able to tackle the backlog without too much stress today: and I'll have chocolate brownies to reward myself and the children with as we go. Life isn't so bad after all...
