    Not always, we change them round to take account of flyers different work/life commitments. Most rooms do come back round each week though. Remember though that you are free to follow whatever works for you so if you want to always do your rooms on set days then go for it.

    DS2 away, bit grumpy but gone.

    Shower for me, S&Sing then laundry so see you in a bit.

    Urgh it feels like the middle of the night! We haven't seen 8am for a while during the holidays.

    Ds1 had to be cajoled to go and get the bus, usually he's up and ready but he wasn't this morning. He hasn't come back so I think he must have made it on time. Ds2 is just scoffing his breakfast and i'm just sorting dinner money then am going to get ready.

    I will update later once I've actually done something. Have a lot of work to do as well so i'll be doing the odd bit here and there.

All 4 children are back into school/ preschool today, so I do have a couple of child free hours this morning (but also need to hit supermarket) I will be doing a combination of list/ off list throughout week to tackle some of my problem areas!

    Beds made, laundry collected, bathroom S&S, bathroom bin emptied and cat fed. We're all ready to go so I've got a few minutes before we need to leave to do stuff.
