Oooh happy my situation is better.. while hanging a wet double duvet on my line.. IT SNAPPED!!!
Never mind.. half a tub of caramel ice cream for lunch seems to be doing all the right stuff!

Pigpen: I think I'd be on the gin, never mind the icecream!!

I love it - you guys are brilliant. I think if you can do it so can I (just in a different order and with a lot more time)

Now having to strip the cushion covers off the sofa where dear little dug weed while I was on the school run (plus points there as I took all the glass bottles/jars for recycling to Mr T on way back).

Have been sorting the 3 baskets of washing so far and not a lot else. Cant face an ironing challenge yet so everyone has a heap or bag in their rooms. DD 8 yrs did get some of hers done last week, and DS 15 yrs does his own (I'm a hard mother) and ours gets dragged from the heap and ironed before worn. New mantra - THIS WILL CHANGE BEFORE I GO BACK TO WORK!

Need sugar so will attack the sweetie bag girls at work gave me last week.

Keep up the inspiration ladies (and thanks again)

I was just wondering - how much time to people spend flying a day?? Just out of interest!

I spent about 2 hours last night - most of which was clearing clutter and a hotspot... So I'm hoping once I get the worst of it done it won't be much to maintain!!

I spend about 1/2 hour up to an hour each day. Sometimes longer when I feel the urge to clear a room. Today I have done nothing except dailies eg washing, wipe around kitchen check bathrooms. I made DS3 toilet roll moniter to keep check on the 3 loos but he is failing miserably at that job. He is 17 and obviously too busy to do it. All kids help with meals, vacuum and always wash up and clear up after dinner. They have been doing that for as long as I can remember so its not all bad.

Lol - I think I have managed to plan my wardrobe so that I don't wear anything that needs ironing!

Also, OH got us one of those rotary airers that you hang your clothes up on hangers to dry - it means even his shirts don't need doing :j Makes life so much easier! (And I think he got it for a tenner from Woolies!)

Lunch break - late one for me but I don't mind for a change as I wasn't hungry at 12 like I usually am Must have been the sweets as I've had a burst of energy

As well as what I have crossed off my list, I've

• Washed, dried, put away ALL the dishes except the plate & knife I've used for lunch
• Cleaned the livingroom window outside
• Washed down paintwork outside including the front door
• Cleaned the brass on the frontdoor
• Wiped bin lid over and wrote number back on in permanent marker...again
• Swept front - mostly ciggy ends into the gutter only for it to be carried away by a sudden heavy downpour - saved me the job of finding the shovel and trying to put it in the bin :j

I have filled a binbag of rubbish from the middle room.. a 27 fling (filled another carrier) I the back room AND!!!! I emptied the bunnies poo tray which was stinking to high heaven.. Fuzzy-bun needs another trim as he is getting knotty again.. sigh.. that means I spend 3 days covered in sneeze igniting fuzzy-fur.

I am now going to fill a binbag with toys!!!! ANARCHY!!!!! lol

ooooh.... I LOVE flinging!!!

I kind of tied my snapped line together in a floppy kind of girly manner so I could dry my bed sheets so life isn't all bad...

Binbag dance here I come!!

MY friend just said she wouldn't let me look after her children because I am nuts and a bad influence on them.. PMSL.. good job I know her VERY well!!!
