Maralum, your little one is just gorgeous. And you must be superwoman!:T I'm amazed that you can be organised enough to take and upload her picture when she's less than a week old. I was still in hopsital when my DD was that tiny. Mind you she's nealy 28 so it was in the dark ages.

Have been to two exhibitions today .. Monet and Renoir .. and done everything on the list that needed doing and made my first ever slow cooker meal.:j

It must be all you helpful people keeping me on track. Thanks to all of you.:A :A :A

TO DO SOME TIME THIS WEEK -- maybe if I write it down I'll actually do it!
Clear out and clean the cupboard under the sink
Wipe the skirting boards in the kitchen
THOROUGHLY clean the highchair
Make another slow coooker meal
Book holiday for October half term

Half did the cooker - we have an AGA - do any of you? Cleaning the gunk off the inside of the door is not getting very far - have tried, stardrops, vinegar, baking power, sode crystals - any other great ideas - it cannot be submerged in water.

Took DS2 and DS3 to a local fete this afternoon as I was starting to get a bit compulsive with the i'll just clean one more thing routine. I need to learn to trust the system and just do the room on the list.

Did DS2 bedroom as I did not get to this last week and have done the bathroom (minus the bath as AGA shelves soaking in there;) )

Night all see you tomorrow x

Well today didn't go quite as planned as usual.:rolleyes: My sis and two of her kids turned up so had 5 kids running round in all.

But to be honest my kitchen has been cleaned a couple of times anyway including the floor. I've done the bread for tomorrow and we made quiche for tea and a chocolate fudge cake and lemon curd so it's been cleaned after each lot of baking or cooking. Only the oven needs cleaning and gonna do that tomorrow. It needs soaking anyway. Everything else got done just not quite how I planned to do it. But hey I'm not complaining. :rotfl:

Hope tomorrow goes a bit more to plan.

Just been back for another awwww @ little Freya, agree about her little button nose, I did point and say to DP 'Isn't she lovely', he replied 'She is cute but NO you aren't getting one!' spoil sport and to check up on you all, well done everyone. I am impressed.

38 flings, wow Queenie well done (Oh and don't worry about the bed sheets, I do that nearly every week myself ) . Jet, I am seriously impressed with our first days work, you did better than me!

Tracyg don't worry I take every opportunity to make sure the directors get roasted, only the second time I have met this one but did interview the adult services director aswell. Who'd think me a little housewife would be asked, quite honoured actually but it is a big responsiblity as I am requested to do it on behalf of parents in the area with children with special needs this time. Need to make sure I cover all areas etc. Plus have a dig at him and mention I will be contacting him about the planned closure of my neices school!!!!

Anyway, done another 2 hours study, possibly more, in the final 20 minutes finally got the idea of !!!!!! I was supposed to be doing and managed to get another question done. I did get my stress head on half way through and went and attacked the kitchen for one last time 'Aggression Cleaning' it works wonders, I blasted through the last of it I had a right tantrum and threw all my work and books across the room

Off to bed now as I am shattered, night night everyone

I am going to sort out something to take with me to work, yesterday we had a really quiet day and i ended up taking all my cds burnt from the computer over the last few years and sorting them out transferring anything i wanted to keep onto my external hard drive. i ended up ditching about 40 cds!!! i dont know what i can take with me today, perhaps my filing? maybe i might take my card making stuff and do a few. hummmmm what to do. i might even be brave and take my stuff to wash my car then i can guarantee it will rain so i cant do it, but means there are no customers!

So, today, i need to sort out whats going to the charity shop/freecycle/ebay from all the stuff on the landing, do the kitchen (shouldve done yesterday) and maybe start on the living room - see how i feel later.
