    Hello Organised Mummies

    CooEeee anyone else out there. ??

    Anyway I have been having quite a productive few days and have managed to cross lots of things off my list.



    On top of the few things I didn't finish last week I also need to :
    - Pick up DH coat from dry cleaners
    - Drop off bag of laundry at dry cleaners (washing machine is not working at moment and may be at least 3 weeks to order a replacement part :eek: Luckily I have a voucher for 1 free laundry wash at dry cleaners so I'm taking advantage of this :D
    - Hand wash our smalls (!!!)
    - Change double bedding
    - Hoover
    - Make banana bread
    - Make fruit bread for DD after school snacks
    - Clean fish tank & buy new fish at pet shop

    Hmm, think that's all for now. Will add more when I think of more !!

    More soon.

    You all seem so motivated and busy! I think I need to follow this thread more closely and get more organised. Mr tc is frantically hunting for something lost/mislaid as I type. :o
    I have to confess mr tc and I are as unorganised as each other. :o
    Today I have:
    Banked some change
    taken a dozen items to charity.
    Sorted out my wardrobe
    Done 2 loads of washing
    Cooked tea
    Emptied and refilled dishwasher
    And that's all

    hi both,
    the thread kinda fizzled out and was bored of talking to myself/ fluffy so don't tend to check in much anymore. lol.
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
  • That looks a pretty impressive list of things that you have done today tattyCath. I wish I could be as productive as that. Apart from working and letting the oven cleaning man do his thing I've only really managed to do the everyday things like taking dd too and from school and making dinner !!!

    Hopefully a more productive day tomorrow :D

  • This mornings been a bit of a right off really.

    Forgot the voucher to get my free wash at dry cleaners. Didn't think it was worth going just to pick up DH coat so didn't do either of those 2 jobs :o

    Had a cheque to pay in at the bank but forgot to take the cheque & paying in book :o

    Forgot to take chicken out freezer for tonight's dinner first thing :o but taken it out now so should be defrosted in time.

    Met a friend and had a nice catch up with her and also popped into supermarket - so not all bad really.

    Just had a fried egg sarnie, mmmmmmm I haven't had one for ages so now I'm all set to finish work this afternoon.

    Must remember to pick up DD at normal time today as no after school club.

    More soon
    PM xx
  • More productive afternoon :D

    Finished work :j
    Paid CC bill
    Phoned up and removed my 6 year old DD from a mailing list whom she gets at least 2-3 pieces of junk mail every week from :eek: so hopefully that's an end to that.
    Phoned up and got points added to my garden centre card from when I forgot to show it last time I went.
    Unpacked my food shopping

    Not much done in the way of housework tho' and I really need to hoover the lounge and tidy the kitchen a bit

    Phew, I seem to have had a busy few days. Managing to get quite a few things ticked off my list. Just about to do the dreaded hovering before I pick DD up from school. Also need to unpack the shopping.

    Hope everyone else is managing to be organized too :j
