Hi ladies

Can I join you all?

Quick intro - Full time stay at home mummy to my little boy who turned 2 last week, I am also at Uni studying for my degree in Criminology with Sociology but classes are only taught one day a week, I also have a few volunteer roles to help with my degree but they only add up to a few hours a week. My husband works full time with silly shifts so trying to get organised is a nightmare.

I have 2 assignments left to finish before Friday :eek: and then thats me free until October, so I have no excuse to not get organised/sort out all those cupboards and draws etc over the summer, I would also like to learn to drive over the summer too. I have managed to get our finances in order now, but the house is a mess/ looks like toysrus hit it! My son has that many toys and books that he dosent actually play with any as I dont think he knows which to choose. Main task is to sort out his toys, put some upstairs, some in the loft and then a few to keep downstairs!

I have made a huge list of things that need to be completed in the house too, will pop back and post later.

Hi Organised Mummies,

I hope you're all having a lovely BH weekend.

Welcome back lolly_896 & optimistic_mummy and congrats on the baby bump

Big welcome to *depressed* you've come to the right place for motivation.

Its been a organizing free weekend as it was our wedding anniversary on Friday and we've had a very relaxing few days

But..... lots more to do now. It's half term this week so I will have my DD with me at home so probably not much in the way of organising tasks but just hoping to keep on top of the housework etc. Things I do want to get done are as follows

-Book Sainsburys delivery for next weekend.
-Count up and take to bank all our loose change - might even turn it into a fun counting game with DD.
-Make carrot cake with DD to take to grandparents house.
-Find caramelised onion chutney recipe and make
-Make strawberry jam with fruit from freezer
-Collect washing from dry-cleaners
-Chase up washing machine repair
-Put together 'busy bag' for DDs stay at grandparents
-Pack for DDs stay at grandparents

Phew, that lot should keep me busy for a while.

Just realized I have done a few things the last few days. I finally got round to hovering the house !! I made the banana cake, infact I made it this evening whilst the dinner was in the oven. Ive cleaned the fish tank, hopefully got rid of all the algae and went to the pet shop today to get 5 new fishies. I repotted 5 of my orchid plants.

Hey All,

Just checking in! Hope i am not the only remaining person.

Today i have sorted Airing cupboard - Was a massive effort but it is done now.
Stripped all beds and will remake them in 5 mins!
Quick whip around of house a 30 mins ironing will have to be done after the beds!

Tomorrow is DH birthday and im feeling mighty guilty as i haven't bought him a present?! I think the boys will be more disappointed that he will be but it was what we agreed!

Hope your all having fun and enjoying the weather

I've got no energy today.
Too many late nights and early mornings.
All I've managed so far today is :
dried one load of washing and got second load in dryer.
Last night managed to take a car load of rubbish to the tip.
Might go back to bed shortly-at work later.
Hope to find my mojo for tomorrow.
