Extras

I see people have lost their measuring cups, well my cleaning spray has disappeared :cool:
I keep a bucket of cleaning stuff in the bathroom just for upstairs cleaning, saves lugging everything up and down. Anyway, I got to get the spray out and its empty :mad: DD2 was the last to clean the bathroom but never bothered telling me. So I went to get the one from the kitchen and its gone :mad: can't find it anywhere. Had to dilute some stardrops instead, I know lots of you swear by the stuff but I don't like it much, makes me cough and whizz like anything and dries out my skin
I didn't clean the bath but only cos I'd put the bin and laundry bins in it while I did the floor, I'll do it later.

I followed my HHC with a second one I've cleaned the downstairs loo, cleaned the bath, mopped floors, emptied bins and made a cake :j Going to finish with a third HC then relax with a cup of tea and my knitting

I have cleaned the back garden and hung the washing out.
I made lunch, washed& dried dishes, cleaned inside the fridge as i split a yoghurt.
I then sorted out the toys, and hoovered under the sofa and the cushions, washed the table and chairs.
Finally i have bought in most of the washing there is still about 4 items that are damp, and now i could do with a nap but need to do tea so i will wait.

Kaz2904

Just had to untangle the duvet covers in the TD so load no. 4 is stuck in the WM on hold. DS made me a cup of coffee and I have hoovered the lounge and swept the kitchen floor. DD still not home from school, no doubt she's yacking to her friends.
Now going to crush some candy. Have been stuck on level 79 for 2 weeks gah!

Well done for hanging on to your marbles for the past few months, ionafan! I moved from Wales to here in February, on my own, using just my car to transport a three-bedroomed house worth of crud (everything except beds and sofas); I have no idea how many trips it took, but I know it drove me batty. Never moving, ever again. Nuh-uh.

Boys are home and attempting to kill each other already :mad: I'm going to read the riot act and do my ironing before we go to the outlaws for dinner. They've been on a cruise for weeks so very much looking forward to seeing them

DH came back but was still being ridiculously childish... he refused to talk to me, then took himself to bed without supper at 8:30pm :doh: Went to bed myself at around 11:30, but woke at around 2:30 feeling panicky and sweaty. Got up to have a full-blown panic attack (the worst since being pregnant) and have been too upset to sleep since. I've written to the OU to ask to postpone my exam, so we'll see how that goes

Going to have a cup of sweet (decaf) tea, put on some soothing music and try to start on the ironing pile to take my mind off things. My heart feels as though it's going at 160bpm, but worrying about it definitely isn't going to help. Can feel the BD pawing at the door, but am determined not to give it an entrance - I have too much to do, and too much I should be happy about

Hope everyone else is having a better morning, I'll stop whinging soon, I promise.

Glad you and OH made it up in your other post but please take care of yourself

Hi all,
I'm a shiny newbie and would love to join you all.

I live in a lovely rented house with my OH and we just had our annual inspection from the managing agents so the place is pretty spic-and-span right now. Now all we have to do is keep it that way!

I function much better in an orderly environment so this isn't just about keeping the place tidy,it's about keeping me happy too!

Nice to meet you all and good luck.

and welcome to you too:)

Thanks to you guys I now have a very clean bathroom. I really hope I can keep up (at least until Wednesday )

I will go back and re-read so that I can understand a little more.

Welcome to the thread.

I got two calls for work this morning and luckily the full day one came in first, so that's a full days money for me:j

So I have unloaded DW and re-loaded it and that's it so far. Better go and get some tea on!

mrs-moneypenny

have a lovely time at your dinner fizzwhizz, catching up with your inlaws holiday news

kaz, well done on getting it all finished.

DS2 has been home but gone rounds a friends with instructions not to be late for tea as its scouts later.

lounge looks much better but i have spent 2 hours doing it.
wm on 2nd load and 1st one on line hopefully drying.

got some piles of stuff, washing, mags, kids stuff etc to go upstairs. then going to start prepping leek and potato soup for tea.

DH took me to lunch with a p1zza expre55 email code. Nom nom! It's nice to have some time alone without interruptions from the kids.

I've abandoned today's list and had a good sort out of clothes in the master bedroom. DH's chest of drawers and wardrobe have been heavily edited. I have deposited 8 pairs of shoes and boots to the school clothing bank. Several bits put on eb@y. I did my clothes a few weeks ago but DH was still hanging onto his summer garments.

The upshot if this is I have lots of shoeboxes ready for the samarit@ns christm@s shoebox appeal...... And ....... Lots of space to buy new shoes
