    Next jobs are to paint the fences and decorate the hall stairs and landing so I am hoping the agencies find me some work pretty quickly or I'll have to start that!:eek::rotfl:

    Monday - Kitchen
    30 minutes to spare..
    mop the floor
    Wash out the washing machine drawer
    Extra challenge:
    Choose your messiest drawer and give it a good tidy, wipe out if you have the time

    Afternoon all,
    Am in desperate need to get control of the housework as we're moving from a one bed flat that always seems to be messier than I'd like to a three bed house. At the moment I despair about how it's going to look so hope you wonderful flying ladies can help!

    Just so happens my kitchen is the messiest bit for now so that works out perfect!

    Congratulations Roxy! so many flybabies ATM

    Very best wishes for tomorrow LSD.

    Valli I hope you get to grips with your new week quickly

    I overslept this morning after last night's trip to hospital. It was a mad rush to get the lunches made. I had a lightening shower and got everyone to school on time.

    Poorly MIL was visited and I flew in her bathroom and bedroom for HH.

    I've been to paid work and my lovley lady let me go 2 hours early as I've so much on my plate ATM. DH is working from home so we had lunch together before I returned to MIL to deliver the freshly washed and dried bedsheets.

    I've done HHI and and am about to commence another. WM is on it's 4th load.

    DH has done most of the list without realising it. Lucky me! Will update list now

    Why is it that it always looks as if it is about to persist it down when I have to go and pick the kids up from school?

    Lyns welcome

    Narco good luck

    Fridges all sparkly clean.

    Booked my sm£ar test - now if you're due go do yours!

    Can't find the form for the ortho, I put it somewhere safe but don't know where. Also need to measure the space for a wardrobe for DS2, going to look in the shop when I meet him and DS3 in school town for DS3's ortho appointment.

    Bathroom all clean and tidy for 5 mins, now the kids are home and its full of soaking wet clobber :(
    DD2 is going round her friend's as they are going to youth club later so once she's gone I'll make a start on my room.
    DD1 is potting around doing nothing so I'll find something for her to do too :p

    Oh, Mummyyof5. So sad. Hugs all round. I realise it must have been a shock especially for the children, but how lovely for Amber just to have gone to sleep. I always hope mine will, but they never do and I have to make the decision for them.
    Better is good enough.
