I'm in! I've had a bad couple of weeks unfortunately, and having a three year old and five month old to contend with too means very little was done in the way of housework over the last couple of weeks, and it shows!
I have a friends 10 year old staying with me this week, she's fantastic at keeping my three year old entertained, so I've included last weeks flylady too, and am trying to get a few extra bits done, providing the baby plays ball!

Well apparently I am staying up all night rather than just some of it so I shall do some flinging and some ebay listings..

She is now in her highchair with a rusk and some toast.. Everyone else is still sleeping.. I however have been up for 24 hours now and am fit to bite someone.
in the last 45 minutes I have..
folded 3 loads of laundry.. all baby bits so you can imagine! :eek:
put on the WM, TD, and DW
Fed the ratbag
cleared and wiped the sides
filled a binbag with rubbish
emptied the bins
made and guzzled a cuppa
paired some socks
cleared the table in the backroom
Opened the cupboard under the sink to put away the binbags and discovered mouse poo...
Guess what my next job is!!! (after feeding ratbag something else, hanging out the next basket of laundry now it is light enough to spy predators that might eat me and cleaning out the rabbit!)LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Ah.. the urine smell in the back room was not the boing... it was the window sill that some moron cat has been using as a toilet!!! It is all nice and clean now and the table too.. it is looking almost habitable in there.. might kick myself into doing the front room later!
Dot is now fast asleep in bed.. little mare.. she is absolutely NOT allowed a nap today!!
Just doing my 3 ebay listings while I have a cuppa then off to hang out that laundry and do battle with the under-the-sink cupboard!! If I am cleaning up a variety of bodily excretions I may as well deal with mouse poo as well!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
