    OK that doesn't look as bad when i cross a few things out, but most of them are not housework related. :rolleyes:

    Oh, and also got invited to another kiddies party, so i have been and swapped the 1st present (outfit) for one in another size, and then bought another outfit for the 2nd party. Baby has a better social life than me. :D

    Oh, and also brought bin back in.

    best go get on. I wouldn't let myserlf read page 12 as i saw pigpen has done work, so that really means i'm having a bad day.:rotfl: only jokin hun,

    i'll do another half hour at least before i let myself back on.

    The children were great big... naughty things... on the way back from school..

    Oh, it wasn't just mine then? I asked dd to go back in to school to fetch her jumper and you'd swear I'd said I was going to do something hideous to her........ teacher saw her crying and took her back in to find the offending article, I'm sure I got a snotty can't handle your kids look from her.

    Hiya everyone, well I've rearranged the kitchen, still some to put back. Kids been fed, I'll get mine later.

    freyaluck welcome :)

    Pigpen ((hugs)) I don't know how you do it either. 2 kids and 2 dogs (who behave the worst most days including today!!!) and I also am at my wits end most days.

    I do feel awful actually as I am relieved DS2s little friend is away until Sunday at his Grandparents, sorry but I am sick of the sight of him, invites himself for feeding etc. Even on the way home tonight - oh I'll come to your house for a drink instead of going home. Me - er NO! you live 2 doors away! If we have to go out like for DS2s appointment on Thursday he sits and waits on the steps outside my house. 1 1/2 hours we were out! If we're going other places just invites himself along. Drives me crackers!

    Anyway, enough moaning! Dining table was also a tip so have had to clear that so kids could have tea, its becoming a HOTSPOT DAILY!!

    Right, best go water the plants in the garden and the bulbs my darling puppy decided to dig back up after I planted them!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hi guys :hello:

    Read through the posts but can't remember who's done what (got distracted by teenies asking for money) so hope everyone's well. Everyone's been busy :T I haven't though, well not busy in the house I've been busy being out and about and it's done me the world of good.

    I have done my dailies though, so it's still ticking over quite nicely. It's film night tonight, I wanted Miss Potter but was out-voted by a 17yr old and a 7 yr old who both irrespectively wanted Monster House and Hard Candy :rolleyes:

    anyway, I ramble....

    list:

    hoover through
    make beds
    S&S kitchen
    S&S living room
    WM
    hang out the above
    DW

    Oh and I've just scoffed down an entire bag of Wine Gums *flings empty bag away in disgust* in the bin of course :D

  • Friday, those dreaded kids rooms and spare rooms

    Level One
    [STRIKE]Strip beds and wash linen, replace with fresh linen[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Pick up any toys etc laying around [/STRIKE](if they are old enough can of course delegate)
    [STRIKE]Dust[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Vacuum[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Vacuum mattress[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean window[/STRIKE]


    Yay done the whole list today. got the kids rooms done while DS3 was at play group. then when he was asleep this aft I got kitchen S&S, Bathroom S&S. and lounge was tidy anyway coz he'd not been about!:rotfl:
    Swept up, but that'll need doing again when kids have gone to bed. I've also done 2 loads of washing, dried 3 on line. and re-hung the shower curtain.

    It'll be early night for me tonight too, I was up half of night with DS3, which was why he was sleeping this aft.

    Well for my first week flying, i dont think i done bad. I like having instructions to follow because i dont mind doing the housework but sometimes dont no where to start and sometimes think i should be doing every room every day but the flylady way keeps you on track to have a respectable house all the time. I am going to be a regular from now on (I Hope!);)

    I think I need a [STRIKE]beer[/STRIKE] cuppa now.:( DH just came in and told me(while i was typing first bit) that he not sure how long his job gonna last. he could be made redundant next week at earliest. all we need!:mad:
    Nothing to declare ;)

    Hiya everyone
    Well you've made my day. I couldn't log on this morning as my computer is playing daft games with me. So, today I totally gutted my daughter's bedroom as she's having sleepover for her birthday today. Yes, i'll probably have to do it again tomorrow! Anyway, i've just logged on now to find it was children's rooms today......yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I got three bin bags of broken bits and rubbish and one of stuff for charity. She had two drawers of barbie stuff she'd been given and not played with for a couple of years so it's all going off to find a good home. I am shattered which isn't good with three 9 years olds sleeping here tonight. Wish me luck!

    xx
    January budget

    newmrslockwood sorry to hear that, not good news at all, hope things work out ok.

    LJD1 you must be psychic! Saying that it's always kids rooms/spare rooms on Fridays to give the ones without kids a longer weekend off :)

    Well just had to go looking for DS2, granted I said ok he could go on the field behind our house and he was there, just in the tiny part I can't see, of course when I shouted him he'd gone conveniently deaf! Anyway, he's in now, both boys upstairs playing on PCs for 20 minutes before bath time. ;) which gives Mam some PC time too.

    Watered plants, did last poop patrol of the day, put uniform red wash in inc coats ewww they get so mucky! Must remember to get the washing in that is hanging out as soon as I click to reply on here or it'll get damp. Got a mountain of laundry I got done today to put away inc those on the line so I best get cracking :(
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Evening flyers!

    Sending hugs, pats on the back and calming vibes as you need it. And some virtual beers.There seems to be a lot of frazzled folk today.

    Well, I've reached level two in the bedroom this evening ( snigger, I should be so lucky) and just heard my visitors won't be arriving 'til late afternoon tomorrow so that gives me a few hours grace after I finish work at noon. I'm not going to do much tonight, a gentle potter about is all I'm in the mood for.

    More than likely pop back but have a lovely Friday evening whatever you're up to.
