I notice todays list is the Master Bedroom ... don't panic, you can have a lay down in between tasks

You'll soon get into your own routine, baby steps, baby steps (and that's you not the baby kicking I'm talking about).

*Anything* is always better than nothing, so don't try to take on too much at once, just pace yourself.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll only be on here a few mins longer and then I'm off to the master bedroom!

I'll post back later with a progress update so that I'm not tempted to browse on here all day. :rolleyes:

Morning all - glad you like the pic!

Shirleypark, we're in Exeter, but I don't know where you are! If you're not too far away, I'd love to have you take pics of my babies, but geography is such a nuisance, the internet is much better. :rotfl:

Hope you're feeling brighter today cha97michelle, enjoy your flying today and I hope you get to see your DH a bit more. :grouphug:

Just a quick one today, I have lots to do, but so little time! Good job DH is helping so much. I woke up to the smell of baking bread this morning, Owen was up, having his breakfast and DH was doing the washing up! Looks like the ladies of this house are ladies of leisure. :rotfl: The boys were up, being industrious and Freya and I were snoozing.

List for the day - tasks for DH and I, so don't worry, I'm not overdoing it!

[STRIKE]S and S bathroom[/STRIKE] Still the floor to do.
[STRIKE]S and S kitchen.[/STRIKE] Still the floor to do also.
[STRIKE]S and S sitting room[/STRIKE]
Little tidy in bedroom
[STRIKE]Washing on.[/STRIKE] First of three loads!!! :eek:
[STRIKE]Vacuum throughout.[/STRIKE] Just the hall actually, but that's ok.

If I see anything else, I'll add it and do it, but that's as I go along. I know I need to wash all of the bedding too, but I think we may just stay as filthy monkeys if I can't be bothered!!!

Maralum - that is a lovely piccy of the three of you.

I feel poorly and sorry for myself today, so other than daily swish and swipe I plan to do little else more than level 1, a bit of level 2 and nothing much more than sitting around feeling sorry for myself!

Wednesday, Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 1
Remove bed linen and wash, replace with fresh
Check fire alarms are working
Level 2
Vacuum floor in bedroom and on landing
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs

My stuff
books to library
peadiatric review DS4

Have a good day, everyone:)

Maralum - what a beautiful picture of you and your little ones. I wish I'd looked as good as you after giving birth!

Lil_me - hope things are looking a little better today. You sound v down. If I remember rightly you're doing maths too, no? I sympathise. It's a toughie.

Anyway, on the FLY front, we're still getting our bathroom done. Even though we're toilet-less (lovely!) I have a big grin on my face because by the weekend it will be done. Our old bathroom was just so minky. Cleaning this new one will be an absolute pleasure. Can't wait. How sad?

Wednesday, Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 1
Remove bed linen and wash, replace with fresh - already in the machine
Check fire alarms are working - ashamed to admit that I'm not sure how Will get DH to show me how when he gets home
Level 2
Vacuum floor in bedroom and on landing - will do later when tiler's finished working up there
Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs
Level 3
Clean window & wipe windowsill
Wipe doors and handles
Declutter Mission Task
Choose one cupboard to clear, even if only for 10 minutes - living room?

Have a good day all

Morning all, hugs to OldMacDonald - feel better soon!

Won't update my list as haven't done anything, done a few dallies that were first thing jobs and am sat on my bum waiting for his lordship to wake up so we can go to playgroup.

I am convinced now that you must be my next-door neighbour or something if you also shop at the outlet. It's lovely to have a walk around the lake.

Actually, my next door neighbour IS called Michelle:rotfl: ! Think you mean the Yorkshire outlet but live near the one at junction 28, I live about 5 mins from there. Was saying to DH I want to go to the Yorkshire one as haven't been for years. Hope you have a better day today.

Well, better wake Lazy Bones or it won't be worth going xx

Morning!

Love the photo Maralum- as my 2.5yo ds has just said when he saw it ahhh, they're so cute

I've done my dailies and been for a ramble with ds after we dropped dd at school. Slight lack of motivation today - perhaps it was because I got up 4x last night for the littlies and their bad dreams.
I need to sort out dinner next - I think it'll be a lentil and sausage casserole done in the SC.

I've had a look at lil_me's list and I've done a couple of things but I think I need a jolly big kick to do any more.........:rolleyes:
