Move towels to under bed (see above) - done
Book GP appt - done
Book blood test for baba - done
Sort out baba's old clothes - NOT DONE
Declutter my underwear drawer. - done
Exercise more (take baba for walks, and start my sit up programme. Starting with 10 and increasing by 10 everyday.) - went for an hour walk today and have done mon & tues sit ups.FAILED FROM WEDS ONWARDS
ETA - the main thing I have to do this week is send my driving licence off as it expires this month. - done

Feeling quite pleased with myself.

Right, happy that most of the list got done, lost my mojo for jobs a bit towards the end of the week. Was going to sort baba's clothes today but spent most of the day at my parents as hubby away for the weekend. Also decided my sit up programme was a bit too much for someone who hasn't exercised since baba born 9 months ago. So have adjusted for this week.
Will post new list in a mo.

List of jobs W/C 10th Feb

Meal plan
Make dinners and freeze for baba
Sort out baba's clothes
Declutter my wardrobe, however this won't leave me much to wear...
Box up my maternity clothes (currently on spare bed)
Clean microwave
Brainstorm my old/new work role.
Sit up programme (10/20 every other day)
Set up my external hard drive and move all of my photos to it
Order photos for the numerous frames I have sitting around the house.

I think that's it for now. Again need to compete normal housework too. And some of these jobs may take a week or two to complete, but need to use my time more efficiently (still)

I have a weekly planner so I have allocated these jobs to a day as I am more likely to follow it through this way.

Had a great start to the day, and had a couple of things on the list to sort this evening, however baba had other ideas and wouldn't go to bed. Eventually settled at 21.45.

Today I have:
Done the weekly meal plan
stripped and washed our bedding,
Remade the bed
Cooked and frozen mash, carrots and poached cod steaks for baba
Cleaned the microwave
Washed all today's/ tonight's crockery, pans etc and left the kitchen looking lovely
Got everything ready to take to my mums with baba tomorrow as I am at work for a keeping in touch day.

Tomorrow's jobs
Brainstorm my work role
Put photos into album.
Possibly dust our bedroom.

Hi everyone
not doing so well with the weekly do it challenges,
Am worrying about a lot of things which seems to give my bottom an excuse to sit in front of the TV and do nowt !!


So this week is

1.Spend at least 2 hrs this week in allotment (I love it and it makes me feel better - and no one except MSE knows I have it so I can hide)
2. Finish this mortgage paperwork that I am worrying self about


3. find out where my MBNA account has disappeared to and why?


4. Make sure lodgers medication patches are changed on time - been using phone reminders for this, works really well.


5. try to catch up with my on-line learning


6. Fill in tax saving form (where I claim for uniform cleaning & other expenses)


7. Would like to sort wardrobe, since I cant fit in most of my clothes


8. make some space in spare room


9 Actually this should be higher, I am doing the 'plank challenge' where you hold the position for up to 5 minutes within 3 days. Currently 25 seconds


10 Keep up the payment a day (actually mine is 2 per week)

Done just about everything on my list apart from one 15min challenge and cancelling gym membership.

oh and ended up not going for drinks so never needed new clothes..... money saved :-D

So this week, im back @ work, straighy onto nights, boo hisss

my challenges will be:
Do two things on kitchen snag list
find out about skip hire/cost
keep on top of washing/cleaning
go to either 1 exercise class or a swim (or both?)
Start recording how many steps I take daily in a diary
Specific 15 min challenge - gather all paperwork into one place
organise said paperwork
Look into costs of a shredder


Thats enough for now I think
happy completeing your lists everyone ;-)

Oft! I'm not doing very well with any part of my list this week AT ALL!!
Looked into skip hire, done paperwork. Had a look @ shredders but still need to buy one. Done hardly any walking and also haven't even been wearing the pedometer. How silly!

Still need to do something from kitchen snag list. Will do that tomorrow I think.

Hope everyone doing well
