I've just got DD to go through her bookcase Unfortunately I now have a pile of books sitting in front of me and can only just see the screen. Apparently she's "not to sure" on these ones :rolleyes:

Tea is on and I'll do a laundry load later. It's really not worth washing up at the minute, plus I'll get blinded/roasted by the sun if I try to do it now. :rolleyes:

Okay so I'm procrasting, but I'm tired :rotfl: Later :wave:

:mad: Kids are driving me mad!!!!! why do they always wait until your doing tea to turn into complete monsters. Next birthday its gonna be a boxing ring (guess they could use the trampoline) and boxing gloves and they can sort it out amongst themselves! My money is on the littles one:D

Just had a huge squabble because DD1 is sat on yellow chair (yellow is DD2 bestest colour) so swopped chairs over and DD1 is yelling because she does not want boy blue chair. Several minutes of furniture arranging and they both have a colour chair they are happy with:rolleyes: Mum now has a longing for rum and coke though;) :beer:

Veggies on, spuds in oven just about to make the gravy and only 2 hours till littles bed time:j :j

Hello all

Not got as far as yesterday but I knew I had a lot on today. Kitchen is still looking good - hot spot has not been allowed to reappear in there. Had 3 extra kids for tea and have cleared it all away already.

Master bedroom done - did do some yesterday so not much.

Will do swish and swipe when the 5 boys in the house are gone/in bed or it is like shovelling snow whilst it's still snowing:rotfl:

Just the landing to do - not a clutter zone for us so should only take 10 minutes.

Those of you doing this with babies/preschoolers are doing so well - I am only just getting on top of things now all 3 go to school.

Street party meeting tonight so may not be back until tomorrow - hope it is not kids bedrooms tomorrow - that is a big job for me.

Thinking of giving up. Feeling really tired today, and i haven't achieved as much as i wanted as when the baby wanted to sleep, i went and got in bed too. I have a really sore throat too, but i have still tried, and that is what counts.

WM - [strike]DH's stuff [/strike] [strike]now got a load of babies stuff in[/strike], bibs put in the machine ready to wash tomorrow. Might as well wait till the load is a bit bigger.

red items are really essential that i get them done today, so i will have to force myself to just get on with it.

7) [STRIKE]defrost freezer[/STRIKE]
8) [STRIKE]put all stuff back[/STRIKE]
9) kitchen sort out and wash up
10) watch CSI
11) put hair dryer away
12) have 15 minutes sorting out baby clothes in the spare room as i am sure they are multiplying.

Will see where i get with that lot, although hopefully now i have hoovered a good bit of the house i should be ahead at some stage this week which will be a real 1st for me.

OH has come in with more problems with the car :wall: This is starting to get expensive! Going to have to go out and have a look at it ourselves. Managed to find an online forum where hopefully we can get some help with fixing it :rolleyes: If not then another trip to Kwik Fit :mad:

ETA : Just added it all up and it's cost us £4800 including £1980.00 for the actual car purchase, thats since September 2005:mad::mad:

Ive had a shower and thought about cleaning. Looked around the place. It looks like a bombs gone off. The bathrooms a mess, the kitchen is a mess, the lounge has had something emptied on it as has my bedroom. I think its a case of wait until later :rolleyes: . I promise i promise i promise tomorrow that i will tackle the house. Please send some kicks in my direction tomorrow!

Right list for tomorrow:

Kitchen
Level One
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Clean floors
Clean microwave
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky

Master Bedroom & Landing
Vacuum floor in bedroom and on landing
Remove bed linen and wash, replace with fresh
Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen
Clean window & wipe windowsill
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs
Wipe doors and handles

Will add Weds in when lil_me adds it later on this eve of either the bathroom or living room and then will have to do the other too.

Washing x 3
Washing up

I managed to do all my list bar hoovering

I sorted out dd2s nappies from a pop up tub into a three teir storage rack and put the toys from that in the tub. Looks much better. The girls trashed their room soon after me cleaning it!

Will hoover it tomoz now along with everywhere else.

Just need to wash up tea things, do dd2s bottles for tomorrow and get dd1s uniform for tomorrow out.

Found out she has got her first choice infants place for September so am happy!

Well, I succumbed and went to Asda afterall, had no list so spent £38 on junk that I can't make a meal with - oh well will sort myself out properly for next week. Just stuck fresh pizza in the oven and we're having micro chips with it, I really cannot be *rsed to cook tonight lol

Littleys playing out and since a 'to do' yesterday with one of the older girls they've all sided with her and now no-one's playing with my Em kids can be horrid sometimes :mad: wish I could go out and slap them all

Just gonna hang around here for a while till tea's cooked and hopefully 'the list' will also get posted while I'm here.

*waits*
