  • WM on. DW on. Wiped kitchen surfaces. S&S loo.

    About to empty the WM. Then refill.

    Need to put some presents away to regift, hoover downstairs and maybe a quick whizz with a mop on the kitchen floor.

    Deal with some correspondence quickly.

    Then a bath :j

    Sorry about your gerbil Valli :(

    I'm up and dressed, DH is moving around upstairs, kids in PJs and about to have their breakfast. So far I've had my breakfast, put load of washing on, put away clean dry stuff and ironing I did last night and put bin out. Lots more to do!

    Catch you later ....

    Try looking for the Christmas bin dates on-line Bonnie Bumpkins.

    Put me down for the Ironing Challenge please - mind you, I had a very good session yesterday when Mr B disappeared into the loft to do one of his models and I started catching up on the whole series of Downton Abbey to help the mountain sink.

    Not woken up yet, but that'll be my main task of the day - then I'll see what else I should be doing.

    Lots of us work fulltime im quite a newbie here but its a case of getting organised more and more each week, every part of house comes around once a week so every week it seems to take less time and less effort to see sparkling rooms...

    Getting into the dailies work for me washing machine on morning whilst making breakfast, s+s bathroom after brushing teeth but main 2 for me are tidy living room before going to bed getting up to mess so starts me off in a cant be bothered mood plus tidy kitchen before bed takes 10 mins but makes a massive difference to me....

    You will find your ways that suit too..

  • All the washing put away - ironed where necessary (not really as good as it sounds - there is only me so not that much to do).
    Car insurance paid.

    Right, dogs have had their first walk of the day, car is booked in for service next week, second croissant decluttered and I have counted my blessings in my diary.

    Now to redo the meal plan as I have that huge joint of beef to use, so its roast tonight (v. late), roast tomorrow (hopefully if DH is around) and then......I have a brand new calendar which is just for meal planning, how exciting!

    Second and last of washing is in the machine, best wait then to clean the filter.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Can't believe how much tiding I've done, I thought we were quite straight!

    Still a bit to do and then a quick hoover, dust, S&S. Need to go out and get some food too for tonight, I was all for doing just drinks but OH believes we need food - allright for him, he's at work and not getting everything ready.
