Morning! Its really nice to see so many newbies and there is all ready get of few crossed of things for people today.

Rach - congratulations! How exiciting! Very happy for you!

My plan of getting up early didn't work, don't know if I'm coming down with something or if going to the funeral later is hanging over me - its such a horrid situation and more than likely we'll be going to the persons sons funeral in a few weeks too as he is very poorly. Plus its chucking it down, am waiting outside of church as have no one to have baby whilst service is happening so will be wet if it doesn't stop. Feel like a can't get going, have a foggy head, really need to jump in the shower before baby gets back up.

Anyway, have just FORCED myself to spend 45 mins doing jobs
Clean floors
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Clean microwave
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances - did today
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky - did yesterday, stardroped my whites and it made a mess![/STRIKE]
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week - want to wipe it later after I've done jacket potatoes
27 fling boogie, grab a bag and clear that clutter!

Plus daily list - done 10 (DH does some before work) just need to make beds and tidy rooms, feed dogs (turned their noses up at dry food, fetch meat), hoover downstairs and mop, make chilli (meat defrosting) and do 1 load of ironing from yesterday
Aldi shop
Funeral
Hoover upstairs (not been done all weekend and need to stay on top of it)

Right must get showered, stood here in dressing gown and chip pan hair - nice!

Congratulations Rach - lovely pic. I love happy news like that! Have lots and lots of fun telling everyone. I loved being engaged. Of course marriage is another matter...... tee hee. Only kidding.

tracyg - hope everything goes ok today. Funerals are no fun but with a bambino to contend with too? I feel for you.

Off to try and cross something off my list

Having lurked for a while, I want to join in properly this week. I started US flylady, and it has made a difference (the idea of dailies stuck), but couldn't stand the tone of it. I like the new list lil-me, makes it seem less daunting

Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Level Three
Clean microwave
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky can't get this out of the machine, and it needs a good soak!
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week
Declutter mission task
27 fling boogie, grab a bag and clear that clutter! Sort DD's grown out of clothes pile into charity shop or ebay

Own list - Make a dent in the ironing mountain that has built up.... need to prioritise!

I am aiming for level one, some of level two and declutter, anything else will be a bonus and make me feel good! DS (five weeks) has just started smiling, so lots of breaks to enjoy him today. Hugs to everyone who needs one, particulary Michelle and traceyg. :j to Rach, how wonderful!

Welcome back Doozergirl, thriftykate, Beccatje and RacyRed :hello:

Welcome nell2, hollyh, susy and jovichick123 and lbnblbnb:hello:

Rach - congratulations!!!

Tracyg - sorry to hear about the funeral they are never good, I prefer to think of them as a celebration of life.

Right i have achieved the grand total of a good nights sleep!!!!!!
Thanks maralum and everyone else for the hugs! I feel so much better for it. Just hope that others with sleep problems get a good night soon.

Now to get to my list (after getting dressed and putting away last nights washing i just dumped on the floor - 2 birds one stone while im up there!)

See you later! :wave:

Hi all , I am new to this thread but it's a real motivator! Can anyone explain how I list the tasks in my reply and then put a line through them??

Just done kitchen floor whilst baby was asleep.

Thanks in advance

Beccatje

I have managed to get the big kids out the door this morning without making noise, so the little 2 yrs old squirt could stay sleeping.

By 9:45 I had not heard a peep out of her yet, so I went to check. (you start thinking strange things as a mum when kids don't wake up their usual time) She woke up from me coming through the door, poor thing!

But she had a great sleep!

In the mean time I have managed to hoover and clean the floors downstairs which makes me feel so much better already!
The kitchen is tidy and reasonably clean. it's the inside cupboards that need doing but no time for that today. I need to get ready to go to work now.

Have a good day all!! Holland is lovely and sunny today and forecasts say it will be like this the rest of the week! HURRAY!!

My windows are sparkling as well by the way. I got a new window cleaner in this weekend, and he did ALL the windows on the outside for only 1 pound more than the old one used to charge for just the top windows! I went ahead and cleaned all the inside windows downstairs so I can actually enjoy the lovely flowers in my garden again without the usual haze!

Welcome to the newbies. This list is definately a great motivator!

Well, as i said, time to get showered and dressed for work.

Catch you later!
