Valli

I am well hacked off. The shoes ordered for DD (and I paid for delivery) are size 3 - she's a 6. Irritatingly, there is no reference to the SIZE I ordered on the email confirmation or on my account and for some reason I didn't save a screenshot of the order - I usually do. So, so far I am £3.50 down...
how the heck I am going to prove they sent the wrong size I don't know...plus she still has no shoes for her prom!

Pigpen - My whole house used to look like that! There are still some bits like it but they're smaller and mostly hidden these days. That's one thing that a couple of years of on-off flying has achieved - I've got pretty good at decluttering and doing the dailies. Anyway, you have little ones - they're far more important than tidying up!

bonnie and Rowan- Thanks for the advice. I know you're right, I think I'm just struggling to adjust to new routines after being used to having at least a few hours of child-free time a week to get stuff done and now having none!

LameWolf - that mantra works for me - unfortunately getting anyone else to do the same in this house is like getting blood from a stone. But I'm working on it!

mrs-moneypenny - that's brilliant! Love it!

Feel like I've done pretty well again today. No after school activities tomorrow so hopefully it'll be a bit easier to get more done earlier. Plus I have the added incentive of wanting to sit down on Friday evening with my long awaited new book and a glass or 2 of wine :beer: without stressing about the house being a pigsty!

Unloaded TD & put a towel wash on. Other towels sorted. DW will be done before I go to bed. Parcels opened & packaging recyled. Stash for DS uni building up nicely, although he didn't seem over-impressed with the vegetable brush with a face on ho hum it was only 50p so I'll keep it.

Tuesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs
Level Three
Wipe skirting boards
Wipe doors, door handles and door frames
Extras

I will do a final lot of washing up tonight, S&S bathroom and also clean the toilet, then bed for me!

I am getting some real motivation from this thread - it keeps me going having a list that I want to try to clear. I am still really just aiming for level ones all round because I am so busy, but will do extra levels where I have the time or feel like it really needs doing.

Had a close shave today, a fire engine crashed 2 cars in front of me on way to my dentists. We are ok but I'm going to eat that frog of making a Will asap.
