  • I did most of the kitchen yesterday as the BF had managed to create a total mess in there so hopefully that should be quite quick for me, though the oven does need cleaning.

    Morning all :hello: Belated Happy Mothers Day wishes to all the mums out there. :D

    I'm in a "Lets get it all done" mood today :eek: BUT I won't. ;) I need some things sorted and I desperately need to go out and about - haven't been anywhere except out for a meal on Saturday evening (Mothers Day meal, I know it was a day early but it did mean we actually got a table and good service :D and it was my idea anyway), good job really as DD woke up yesterday looking & feeling dreadful. She's got a stinking cold and it came to a head yesterday. She spent the whole day either on the sofa under her quilt or asleep on our bed (letting her bed air). She's much better for it though today. :j Good thing really as it's parent evening tonight AND she's got a "Dazaling Diva" party tomorrow :rotfl:

    Right, my list for today :
    • Dailies
      • Beds
      • Bathroom S&S
      • Dishes
      • WM
        • Darks
        • Towels
        • Lights
      • Evening meal - Something quick & in the slowcooker as it's parents evening tonight
      • Uniform
      • Packed Lunch
      • Mail
      • Hotspot - DD's clothes, almost done.
    • Ebay - listing of 5 items (hopefully) for 3 days.
    • Hoover through house
    • Pick up Prescription I need to walk & fresh air so I'll get it myself today.
    • Kitchen
      • Worktops / doors / drawers / windowsil / appliances
      • Hob / fridge / microwave / oven insides
      • Sink / draining board / drainer
      • WM drawer
      • Floor
      • Window
      • Bin
    Right, DD is here now so she can do Pigsback for me while I attack her hair. Laters :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning everyone - another 6am start for me, after a disturbed night. I do miss real sleep pre children. All that sleep deprivation stuff as a form of torture stuff is so true. Not much done yet although I am at least dressed.

    Plenty to do here, had a good general clean last night but need to get the dyson out, and have a deep clean in the kitchen and bathroom. I could really do with sorting through the boys toys as they are starting to take over the play room.

  • Right - I am going to do this if it kills me - no downstairs loo though, so that should make life a bit easier.

    Also - [STRIKE]packed lunch for DS#1 [/STRIKE]- at nursery until 3.30 today!!!
    [STRIKE]Butterfly the fairy cakes made last night for Mother & Toddler group this morning with DS#2.[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Try and pick up most of the 'shared' chocolate detritus from yesterday morning's very sweet and well-meant mothers day breakfast in bed.[/STRIKE]
    Ignore chocolate smears all over the white bedlinen.
    [STRIKE]Take car in to have flat tyre mended and spare one's bolts checked from yesterday's 'fun family day out' debacle.[/STRIKE]
    Make list and delegate jobs for M&T group fundraising village party at the end of Easter hols.
    [STRIKE]Brave snow and wind and get some washing out on line (daren't look at wind chill temp - too scary for words)[/STRIKE] Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
    [STRIKE]Lay fire for this afternoon[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Walk the Betty-dog [/STRIKE]too too cold and miserable - lots of throwing the ball while hanging out washing had to do instead.

    Does scowling at the oven count as cleaning it?!
    Managed lots and lots of scowling - but will endeavour to do the vinegar on a cloth trick after OH & I have eaten our supper once the wee-ones are tucked away.
    Going to have a cup of tea to spur me on to start the kitchen list - DS#2 is asleep in the car amidst the howling winds and snow/hail.

    3 loads of washing hung outside - I'm sure I've got frostbite but missed my window of oppportunity of getting it in blown ironing-dry cos I was late picking up DS#1 - drove home in major blizzard, but I'm hoping that by 6.30 it might be in a reasonable state to be brought in.
    Evening plans- the most enormous mountain of ironing I've ever seen. Thank goodness for Corrie!!
    Is it home time yet?

    Good morning everyone!

    I'm 'visiting' here today - I work full time, but am off today as still recovering from a yukky cold, plus stressed out at work, but that's another story!

    I need to make good use of my time today - need to sort out the dumping ground that is our study.

    There are currently two piles of paperwork to be filed / binned / actionned, plus other piles of 'stuff' that need to be sorted and put wherever they belong.

    I *know* I'll feel better once I've started, but seriously don't want to do it!!

    I think I'm going to do the Flylady 15mins, then take a break for 15, and so on, but any other ideas??

    Thanks for reading!! :)
