    Had a spat with DD earlier because of the stuff on her floor and when OH came in I told him and said that I know the spare room is a mess but no-one sleeps in there and he said "that's an undersatement"..................I try my best and only the undone gets noticed......anyone else feel like that..........????

    sorry for rant..hope all are well xx

    Tooch I feel your pain - it's a battle sometimes - you against whoever lives in your house. And the ungrateful (insert descriptive expeltive of choice) only EVER notice whta hasn't been done

    Don't worry about ranting, and certainly don't apologise for it :D:D:D

    housework was a constant war of contention with my ex- I would work all hours under the sun, kids would create a tornado before I got in from work and he would sit there and moan like stink...............he eventually moved in with mistress who had no job and no kids, who sat on her behind all day long until half hour before he came home, and all I ever heard when he came to see the kids was how "wonderful" she was and I was queen of !!!!ola by comparison :mad::mad::mad:

    When I joined here 4 weeks ago my mantra was his rule book never worked, so I am throwing it away along with all the negativity and criticism that went with it. Now, Housework is MY job, MY rules, MY achievements and MY successes, support and company from MY fellow flyladies and flygents is welcome......any negative comments now go in the bin with all the other junk I am decluttering, so it's MY job to ignore the moaning and get back to flying MY way, so in a weird way I am still successful when I am being moaned at :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: provided I "dump" it out of my head asap


    If my kids are going to treat my house like a hotel, then they are GOING to treat it like the Ritz :eek::eek::eek:.. eventually anyway, that's the plan....as long as I can get it up to a good standard before fly-baby gets here they will hopefully stop junking their mess everywhere....

    Don't dwell on OH's negative comments, de-clutter that comment straight away....and on YOUR terms, YOU decide when you will make a start on the spare room, and that will be YOUR victory not his:j

  • Morning flyladies and gents - fly-baby has been keeping me up since 1 - AGAIN:eek: she must be trying to get me ready for all the sleepless nights and marathon midnight feeding sessions!

    So, I made a start on Thursday official flying list - if its gone, its done!

    Thursday - Bathroom Deep clean
    Level One

    Level Two

    Wipe the tiles - ensuite tiles only remain!
    Level Three

    Extras


    MY extras
    [STRIKE]WM x3 on cheap leccy
    TD x 3 on cheap leccy
    DW x 1 on cheap leccy

    dragged rubbish, recycling and food compost outside
    washed and disinfected all bins
    put a plastic box in boot of car, with two glass jars ready to stick in bottle bank when the box is full

    S&S kitchen & DR
    hotspotted LR and hallway
    Anthea Turner-ed my freshly washed towels and re-did the ones in the main bathroom, and re-did one stack in the airing cupboard[/STRIKE] :j
    [STRIKE]Anthea Turner-ed some teatowels[/STRIKE] - think they need ironing to make them look something, but I am not martyring myself to teatowels this morning :rotfl:


    Thanks again for your responses to my earlier post about mould. I made a start on the mouldy coving in the ensuite with bleach in a spray bottle... BIG improvement, but going to homeb@se tomorrow to get their mould and mildew product to see if that brings it up any better without me having to scrub too hard.....thought no point doing tiles twice in ensuite once stray dribbles start to run down tomorrow.

    Once I have had breakfast I will start unpacking my @pproved food delivery and maybe do some meal planning!

    Good morning Skint Breeder.

    Congratulations Embb.

    Plan for today is to get up and make lunches. Get littlies to school. Come home and fly for 45 mins. Go to work. Come home and fly for 45 mins. Collect littlies and take them to swimming lessons. Tesc0 on way home for dinner tonight. Wash school uniform on Friday night.

    I saw my oldest friend yesterday she's hugely pregnant. I'm insanely jealous! Very broody ATM. I hope this passes as that door is locked and bolted.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Thanks for the congrats everyone :)

    Tooch Job vibes coming your way, and yes I know that feeling well x

    Valli I'll try not to :p

    Got 5 hrs work today but hoping to get some stuff done round here, it's not too bad but needs a spit and a polish and a tidy-up.

    Listy:-

    Tidy LR
    TD
    WM
    empty DW
    reload DW
    wipe out fridge
    hoover through downstairs
    make beds
    take stuff upstairs
    sort tea

    That should do it, but not feeling positive it will all get done hahaha x
  • Morning all, didn't manage much yesterday due to feeling BD. DS3 had done so well with the sleeping until last night when he and the boys decided to play up so no bedtime until after 11 here. :mad:

    So i shall try harder all round today and fingers crossed i'll get DS3 back to going to bed at 7pm.

    Embb Well done on the new job.
