Just taking another little break, goodness I'm so bored, poetry can be so boring some times

right best get on, I'm going to do half an hour more then thats it.0 -
sorry to keep rambling on, but it helps me keep going.
So i did a couple of hours of my assignment which I'm more or less pleased with.
Now back to thinking about organisation and cleaning etc etc, goodness my life is boring if that is all I have to worry about. But then what can I say, these things need doing!
Right, going back to my horrid list, I can only do certain things at certain times, as Roo gets really bored downstairs and wont really play in the kitchen, so I end up trying to do things upstairs when he is playing alongside me, and can only do things downstairs, when he is in his highchair eating his lunch or similar.
So tomorrow morning first thing I will,
feed fish,
unload the dishwasher,
hang up the washing,
put other washing away,
put another load in,
then when roo has breakfast,
put coats upstairs,
clear settle and stairs (will prob just move all this upstairs to sort after breakfast),
clean the inside of the fridge
clean bin and empty it,
put recycling outside,
load all gross trays in dishwasher along with horrible saucepan and put on,
move fairy to garage
gets rid of lots of those jobs then.
Then back upstairs for,
more sorting of washing,
dusting,
sorting of charity shop stuff,
clear bedside table and drawers,
put away coats and stairs stuff,
make bed properly,
hang up OH shirts
when roo has lunch
maybe I will have time to sort through a couple of cupboards or maybe the medicine cabinet..... we'll see
Now this is obviously all in theory, there is no saying Roo will behave enough to let me do any of these things, but, here's hoping.0 -

another load of washing on
sort out box for underbed with books etc in
clear bedside table top
clean bin and put new bag in
dust
go through charity shop stuff
put books away
have a break!;)
sort toiletry chest, again!:o
clear bedroom floor

Ok so off my list I have:
[STRIKE]another load of washing on[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]sort out box for underbed with books etc in[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]clear bedside table top[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]clean bin and put new bag in[/STRIKE]:T
dust
go through charity shop stuff
[STRIKE]put books away[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]have a break[/STRIKE]!;)
[STRIKE]sort toiletry chest, again![/STRIKE]:o
[STRIKE]clear bedroom floor[/STRIKE]
I have also unloaded the dishwasher
almost cleared the spare room bed
put things into more organised places so easy to find.
I have put all the receipts in the pocket in the blackboard in the kitchen along with a shopping list pad and pen to help with my organisedness
So not too bad, I'm off out at 4, so before that I need to:
Pack Roos bag
Have shower, wash hair etc
bath Roo
Make and have lunch
send tennant direct debit details (must do!)
phone Jean Patrique again!
write birthday card
Keep coming up with more sorting that needs doing, so here is another list which is just all the things that need doing that I will take bits off to do daily lists, I'm breaking everything down into much smaller pieces to make it more manageable. I have to say, having things to cross off my list is really good.
Ooooh roos awake, will do list later!0 -
Well done you! You've done loads!!!!
Have a nice afternoon whatever you have planned

Hello, had a busy couple of days, been busy studying and tidying and visiting family.
I feel like I am slowly getting there and getting in control.
So tomorrow, I need to start my healthy eating plan as I've just eaten crap for the last month and its not good for baby. so no more christmas chocs!
I'm thinking of a to do list for tomorrow. I'm going to spend the time Roo sleeps for reading my assignment books to help me get ahead.
I've made a list on my phone of all the things that need to be done, and I have really broken them down to make it easier.
Will be back with my list shortly0 -

I love crossing things off my list
hence why I break it down into such small sections.
Chuffed that I've finally gone through my ebay pile. I still have about 50 things to ebay but I have a big blue tesco bag full of stuff to take to the charity shop.
Have also found a dry wipe board I got for christmas a couple of years ago and never used, I thought I could write what I'm doing on a weekly basis to help get me organised!0 -
