Torianut - you done very well getting all that done! I use the baby as an excuse for the oven too lol, mine also 6months.

lil_me - thanks for the well done. Sorry about the FF, grrrrrrrrr!

Well done to all those whose had a go today no matter how you've gone.

Just waiting for DH to get home as am straving and am trying to wait for him but I can smell the chilli, been in SC since lunch so should be good! Am really pleased to get my list finished given my mood. Just attacked the kitchen and hall floor and feel better now - just need that wine and I'll be chilled. Settled baby again by myself so am pleased at that. Tomorrows list is
Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs

Level 1
Dusting and cobweb removal (if you want to dust round things that is fine)
Level 2
Vacuum floor and sofas (new sofas should arrive so will put old in garage and will hoover before they are collected at weekend)
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Tidy shoes, coats and bags
Level 3
Clean window
Wipe light switches and banister - did when did floor
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)

Sort one cupboard even if it's just for 10 minutes
PLUS dallies
hoover upstairs
clean shower screen, usual S&S of bathrooms and kitchens will be enough
Try and clean dining carpet marks - again

As new sofas are arriving so lounge will be clear to have a good clean, just hope they come before the viewer otherwise it will look strange. Will pop in tomorrow, hope everyone has a good evening - I'm off to chill!

At home tomorrow so a bit more time. Thanks to people for the welcome, and nice to hear there are other new(ish) mums torianut, traceyg and michelle- I am not trying to drive myself into the ground, but need to feel that the house is getting sorted, even if in very small steps.

Ok so i haven't done too well today but in my defense i haven't been at home much today:o

I had to go back out this afternoon to look at a bed for sale for ds1 got myself a good little bargain.

It was almost £500 new from argos with all the bits and pieces.:eek:
I had to say no to him cause it was too much but he really wanted it so when i saw an ad today for the same bed + wardrobe, desk, 3 drawer chest, 5 drawer chest and a stand for games for £150 i couldn't believe it.:T

lil_me i had the same problem with a sofa i felt like they couldn't really be bothered to try:mad:

I will add todays list on to tommorows in the morning.

broomstick27

Nothing would please me more than to throw my dishwasher from the top of a ten storey building!
Decided to put on a cd and see how much i could get done in that time. Spent most of it re-doing the work the DW was supposed to do grrr!
Not gonna let it beat me though, gonna put the cd back on and get on with the lists (love the new level system by the way, although not sure of the wiseness of putting floor first - my feet are all wet :rotfl:) Back in about 45mins with an update
