Mums get organised in 2013

brunettegirl

Wel I feel like my list is not shrinking fast enough -

I have done the library and toddler toys are online for sale, but thats it

still need to finish my meal planner for the month
sort out under the bed
fix the wardrobe
sort clothes
sort junk
sort out paperwork
sort out craft trolley
sort days out folder
Ebay.

Other things distract me, we spent the whole day at home yesterday, a NSD yay! but i ended up sorting some stuff in the garden, that wasn't on the list for this week!

Morning, well baby woke me up at 6.30 sp, have sorted two kitchen drawers, put a wash load in and am sorting te airing cupboard!!!! It's a huge task, hasn't been sorted in about 4 years. Do we really need 4 spare duvet covers for one bed?!

I am not good at all, I am using you guys as my inspiration! You are all so amazing in getting stuff done.

Coffee time then on to the drawers.

mysk_girl & chickywiggle I hope you are both remembering to ask for your free toddler packs on the trains, they don't see to be so liberal at handing them out these days. and I can't remember which one sometimes gives it out in advance to travelling. Virgin have them onboard will see if I can find the link who do you travel to york/wales with?

Toddler packs? Never had one of those. Oxford to York is Virgin Cross Country, Oxford to Llanelli is First Great Western (if they are still called that!

Generally the staff are lovely though,I've even been brought drinks from the buffet as getting there and back with 2 in toe is hard when the train is busy.

So far this morning we are all dressed, breakfasted and all bags ready to go. I've put one load of laundry away and there is another in the tumble dryer. I have to go to the post office before school to collect a parcel that didn't have enough postage on it (grrrr...), then school, preschool, baby clinic at 9.30, coffee with K at 10.15, home for lunch and then on with jobs before school pickup at 3/3.15.

I sometimes wonder how I ever had time to work 24 hours a week as well, even before I started the organised thing! I guess I'll find out in September...

That's good going! I have big boy and girl watching Ben & Holly, baby trying to convince me she hasn't been fed for a week (instead of 10min in reality!)

I think 4 might be considered a touch excessive, pick the nicest 2 and keep one to make dens / camping prop for when the baby is bigger maybe?

Oh my god I'm tired, dd woke up at 5 and won't go back to sleep, I'm knackered!

Think the first thing is to have a coffee

Had a bad day yesterday unfortunately we had to have one of our dogs rehomed due to lots of reasons I'm not going into but I'm giving the house a deep clean.

As for the rest of the day,I'll have a sleep when dd does or I won't make it through the day

Great western used too, you got from the buffet car i think will have a quick look they claim to do something but my internet is running slow! if you google bestwestern trains activity packs for kids it brings up some info, they had something you can download before you travel too.
