    Thanks Aimee. Well done on having such a small list :D My house is clean but my cars a !!!! tip :rotfl: problem being most of it's not my mess!! DP uses my car on a weekend for work, dumps all his crap in it then leaves it there :mad: He does clear it out occasionally, but not often enough. As for the outside, it's a proper 4x4 that gets used off road so pointless most of the time, quick blast with the hose does the job!

    Speaking of the devil he's just been on the phone, he'd just pulled on the taxi rank and all I could hear was screaming, 4 women fighting! People wonder why I don't go out!!

    Right then, night time stuff needs doing, dogs need letting out etc, need to find out what's clattering about outside aswell (probably a bin lid, cardboard or something)

    My list for tomorrow

    Finish sorting my bedroom
    [STRIKE]Disk clean up on all computers (5 to do so some task)
    Clean bedroom window (I must have done it half asleep this week as it's a mess) [/STRIKE]
    Dailies
    [STRIKE]Garden weeding
    Recycling sort inc cardboard stack that's blown all over[/STRIKE]
    Put holes in planters, sort seedlings into them, thin out lettuce etc
    Mow lawn (depends on weather) (kids out playing so can wait)
    [STRIKE]Disinfect pooch room and wash dog bed (have 2 so doing on rota) [/STRIKE]
    Sort through at least 2 toy boxes in kids room (summer fayre clear out)
    Sort through OU stuff, it's in a box mostly but just dumped!
    [STRIKE]3 loads laundry to be washed,[/STRIKE] dried and put away
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all! Had a nice day yesterday - went with OH to town to get some bits and pieces - and a mocha and an almond muffin!! serious treat there!! Afternoon in the garden with the dogs and weeding.

    Had a viewing booked for today so worked really hard in the garden ( house OK) and then they rang later and cancelled .... cry2.gif

    Beginning to despair a bit to be honest ...

    Anyway - did some more Amazon checking, packed what I'd sold ready for posting Monday and watched Dr Who and then snuggled for a bit ;)

    S&S'd bathrooms and kitchen,
    Emptied DW
    Got pork out to unthaw for dinner

    Todays list is
    Persuading OH to clear the stuff on his desk!! ( done I think - at least he's working on it)
    More Amazon ( to make sure he stays at clearing his desk and don't get "sidetracked" )
    Take dogs out this afternoon - maybe car boot

    Have a great day all and don't fly too much - life is too short! Enjoy your little ones and get some rest in - you will fly all the better for it.

    My Goodness where is everyone!!!!

    I have a theory:

    1. In bed recovering from all their hard flying
    2. In bed catching up on sleep due to LO's being poorly/baby feeding times
    3. In bed recovering from a night on the tiles
    4. In bed erm well you know 'sleeping':o well it is Sunday
    5. Outside enjoying the sunshine
    6. Flying on a Sunday :eek:

    Me? Well for me the closest was option 2 but not due to LO's more just to a whirling brain that won't switch off at night oh and sitting here till 12.30am sorting Nannies montage ready for taking today. Got it done and then crashed into bed!

    Whatever you are all up to I hope you have a good Sunday :)

    Morning all

    Not even trying to catch up, just got back from a week away.

    I've done five loads of washing since I got back (dried 4 loads yesterday, one on the line today) and I'm cooking a roast now.

    I'm going to start again tomorrow.

    AnW'Mum my option was not on your list - dashing to the loo with DS1 and 2 who have both woken up grey, with temps, tummy ache and just started thowing up!

    I have cleaned both the downstairs toilet/sink and the whole bathroom upstairs as I expect we will all be spending alot of time in there.

    Also put d/w and w/m on hot wash with soda crystals to get the super clean. Cleaned kitchen sink. Hands are dry and drinking hand cream now.

    It is such a shame as we had planned last night to go to Chessington today (courtesy of Mr T) and kids were so excited, planning which rides etc.

    Will be playing it by ear for the rest of the day/week. We are off to the lakes on Friday so hope all is well by then.

    Hi All

    Well I spent yesterday sorting out our bedroom while DH sorted out DS's bedroom. Still not quite finished but not planning on doing anymore today. Not long since got up as I was working last night but DH has done some ironing and I'm on the second load of washing.

    Dustykitten hope your LOs are okay soon. I'm sure they'll be fine by Friday when you go off on your hols.

    Hope everyone else is okay.

    Catch you later

    Jue.

    We all slept in until 8.30 this morning. Unheard of to be so late, but then DS did spend 4 and a half hours at one of those indoor play centres yesterday which must have worn him out!

    This morning we have moved another 20 bags of gravel round from our friends back garden to ours.

    WM has been on once and the clothes are out on the line.

    DH is off to the cinema at 4ish so we are eating at 1pm and then DS and myself will just have a snack for tea.
    Must dash to the shop for a tin of chopped tomatoes so I can get the tuna canneloni in the oven soon.


    One and a half days to clean the house and finish packing so will be taking it easy today with a bit of ironing and not a lot else.

    Happy Sunday everyone.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Things have all gone a bit pete tong here, the BF (or is that ex-BF) has decided that he doesn't love me anymore and hates this house and various other things. So looks like now we'll be doing this house up to sell it rather than to live in!!

    Life is all a litte up in the air at the moment, I have no idea really what's going on.
