Hello everyone,
Sorry, havnt read anything anyone has done this week, so hope all is ok xxx
Well, im sure you can guess i havnt been flying much this week, new LO is lovely, but all my routines have gone to pot, so i need to start thinking about getting a new routine sorted, but no idea what that will be yet!!!
Mind you, have had a good day today - cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, toilets and living room (including all the cobwebs that have started appearing in corners!!!). Ive also hoovered all of downstairs this evening and made tomorrows packed lunches, so very busy, but feeling much happier that ive finally got something done.
Normally i would start washing the childrens bedding tomorrow, but with the weather like it is, im going to wait until the weekend and do them all (hopefully if the weather improves!!!). Do have a full load ready to go tomorrow, but that will all go on the maiden.
Ok, off to relax now ive checked in - hope everyone has a lovely evening,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0 -
:j I have done it! Cupboard from hell is halfway there (limbo?), I have chucked out so much rubbish and reorganised it apart from top shelf. I can now keep the hoover in there, it was living in the shed which didn't help motivate me or anyone else to take it for a walk very often! Next week when living room comes round I will go through the glasses on the top shelf, get rid of the mismatched and horrid ones and put out the sets we have been given that are still in the cupboard in their packaging....! We have some lovely things under the clutter.
