this_is_it

Afternoon every one, i'm getting the kitchen done slowly very slowly but the kids are in dance and art class staight after school so that gives me an extra hour before i have to go pick them up. Think i'm suffering with hay fever eyes feel awful and feel really tired to .Took kids to school this morning dd3 came out in a rash on her cheeks but said dhe felt ok so school said they'd ring if it got worse, ds had to dress up as a victorian for the day.
need to get back in the kitchen but can't seem to be able to move myself .
Hopefully when i report back later i will be able to say the kitchen is done.

Aargh, the sound of me switching the kettle on seems to have woken DS2 from his nap :mad: Fingers crossed he will settle back down!

Just wondering, on a kitchen cleaning topic, how often do you clean your bin (I mean wash it out with bleach or whatever), and what day do you do it? I wanted to do it today but there is a bag in there 1/2 full - too full to take out and dump on the floor but not full enough to put out! I'm thinking I should make it a habit to do once a week on a Thursday morning as the binmen come on a Thursday, so I could take the bag out whether it was full or not.

We have fortnightly collections alternating with our composting bin collection for the main wheely bin which gets done only occasionally as I always bag the rubbish up in there anyway. The composting caddy gets done each time I empty it of course! The main bin in the kitchen gets a spray and wipe each time I put a new bag in as it is only dry packaging normally. Our recycling bin (for tins plastic bottles and glass which I take to the centre each Tuesday (ASDA day) ) I do when I get back with it.

Done the kettle and the filter jug and booked the dentbuster to come and do my car tomorrow - some moron ran a trolley into the back door at a cash and carry place.... more expense caused by idiots!

ok need to do the floors next whilst just me and DS2 in the house - he keeps asking me questions now so my little chatter box must be feeling better.

I usually do my bin weekly when it's bin day, kind of makes sense to me. That's a Tuesday for us, sometimes if it needs a good soak I do it on a Monday night after emotying the bin. Composting box for glass, cans, paper etc fortnightly when collected, outside one for green stuff, erm, was done last year :rotfl:

Puppy was on starve but just stole other dogs food an hour ago, I rang the vets she said if no better by Friday will sort then as long as she's still drinking, which she definately is as just tiddled on the floor! (she has appointment anyway) if she gets very poorly just to ring her, can't moan her vets lovely but also honest and practical. They help run the local stray service, she's just one of those genuinely lovely people.

Doh thought I had tutorial this Wednesday, nope next week, DP had arranged for his brother to come over for a playstation session while I was out, so will be ringing round friends later to find somewhere to hide on Wednesday night!!!

Oh my extras

[STRIKE]Pack and post ebay item
Get tax for my car sorted
Make GP and nurse appointment for me[/STRIKE]
Finish my bedroom
Finish sorting OU stuff
Find reciepts that need to be sent of and get them posted can't find them
Fill in some forms for hols I need to send back can't find them
[STRIKE]Order some forms from OU
3 loads of laundry to catch up (then hopefully will be empty if DS2 doesn't wet for 5th night in row grrrr!)
Sort out borrowing suitcases from someone[/STRIKE] found one for £10 so got it, cheaper than petrol collecting/dropping one off

Still a few to do but went out for dinner then shopping instead

Oh and I don't think the curtains have shrank, that just saved m a fortune in dry cleaning

Dustykitten sounds like DS is better, hope the chatter box is a good sign!

Well, I've really worked hard on kitchen floor so it should be much easier to clean in future. After that I've chosen easy jobs to do. I can't go back in kitchen until the floor is dry but I did remember to make a cup of tea!

Managed to have a quick blast while Charlie dangled in the door bouncer. I've managed to perfect the nudge with one foot while hands are busy, also singing my head off so our neighbours will probably think i am a nutter. :rolleyes:

Monday 21/5:
Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room

Declutter mission task
Sort any cupboard, doesn't have to be in the kitchen/dining room, even if it's just for 10 minutes - gonna say Charlie's clothes cupboard although that is maybe cheating as i only straightened stuff and took out 6 pairs of socks :A

• [strike]Deal with post[/strike]
• [strike]Make baby bottles[/strike]
• [strike]Post amazon parcel[/strike]
• [strike]Post DH’s 2 letters[/strike]

• [strike] Empty airers[/strike] now refilled with bibs

need to add on:

• make baby purees
• meal plan
• [strike]pop to library[/strike]

plus extras:

• changed Charlie's bed cos he had rubbed his nose on the sheets
• next load in WM probably to go on tomorrow morning
• some of Charlie's socks took out of wardrobe and put to one side as too small
• rejigged the freezer to make room for puree trays later
• cleaned the sink/draining board and racks
• put recycling outside
• fed cats/changed litter tray
• also hoovered living room

So already much better than last week. Must dust though at some point, as i honestly can't remember when i last did it. A good few weeks ago for the dining room, as i always leave the dresser cos i hate doing it.

Quick update: it is a lovely day here in eastern Bonnie Scotland, rain forcast for tonight and tomorrow so made the most of it by working in the garden.
I will do kitchen after tea, I hate having worked hard on it during the day only to have to start cooking: chopping, etc ( I make a mess) so will do it as soon as our meal is over.
Have a meeting tonight and going to my friend afterwards so I don't think the ironing will get done.. OH well..
