Morning lovelies
Happy Birthday lozzie, have a good one :beer:
Made a start on Christmas 2014 late last night, little people stuff for GS and wrapping paper, bottle bags etc, all reduced of course :money:Also started my list in my notebook.
Need to nip into town to pick up said pressie, small foodshop at Morrisons, will fight with the Christmas boxes that are wedged in under the stairs and see if I can get them down to 1, whilst simutaeneously taking down a few decs. Need to tackle the bathroom, finish the rest of the washing and S&S the kitchen.
Will start by opening the curtains lol, laters x0 -

Well we are home, I started to unpack yesterday then shoulder was too much and felt unwell so ended up in bed for 3 hours, did a bit more then had to pop out.
Decided to do 2 lists for each day, must do and a I would like to get done which is what can roll over to the next . I have to get this house straightened out as OHs business has come first for too long and it's getting beyond what I can cope with. It's not manageable and the issues with social care are ongoing.
Today's must do list
Wash 2 loads and dry (DS2s a priority)
Sort fridge out
Meal plan
Empty the sink & clean it
Empty and refill dishwasher
Find somewhere cheap to buy plates
Bin bag fling
Finish emptying the straight forward unpacking
Contact 2 credit companies
Would like to
Sort a kitchen cupboard
Clear part of the garden
Attack one of the boxes of gibble
Clear in front of my wardrobe
Look into bank accountsOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
Thats a good idea lil_me, its kinda what I do now but it just keeps rolling over:rotfl:
Been down town GS pressie looks fab, very pleased with it, got 2 savings stampsin Morrisons to kick start that too.
Just picked DS2 up from his g/f so he can do the understairs box thing - result!
Must make a start in the kitchen, does anyone else have the messy fairies visiting? I've absolutely NO idea how it gets in such a state 3 times a day *befuddled*
LW meant to say Lizzie is just gorgeous x0 -

Ooh I just saw an enormous canvas in home bargains for £7 too! Retail therapy has occurred, I have storage bits, craft bits, a roll of Disney princess wallpaper (she can have it framed in pieces, not pasting onto the walls)
Goodness knows what else I bought - I better go unpack. Oh I did get DS a hotwheels launcher for his birthday, probably from mum (I've also ordered tagamoto set).
Right. Go unpack and put kettle on!Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Happy birthday Lozzie
:wave: lil-me and embb
I like the two list idea as well. My must do remains worktops/DW/WM/Hoover downstairs/S&S loos.
I have been shopping and bought cleaning materials in vague anticipation of actually doing something.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Happy Birthday Lozzy
Not sure what to do with myself today. Think I might do some 2014 planning and paperwork. Really not in the mood to spend the day in the kitchen baking. I think I can safely chuck some work papers from 2011 as well now so that should clear some clutter from my work cupboard.Yeah, I think I'll do that today
House is still clean & tidy. Just some dishes to wash from bulk cooking last night which I'll go and deal with now that I've had breakfast now that they've soaked overnight. :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
WM on 3rd load. I have a scarily large pile of ironing. The basket was empty on Christmas Eve so how has this happened?
The boys and DH are gone. DD1 and her BF are watching catch up tv in their bedroom. He is such a great addition to the family. He cleared out the garage yesterday, it looks amazing now!
The washing is breeding as I go round tidying up. I started with 3 loads to do this morning but have 5 more baskets waiting to have their turn. The TD is permanently on!
I must push the Hoover round......0
