Good luck with your job hunting dancemum
Hope you can eat again soon skinty sounds a bit miserable

I've cracked on a bit with the washing, most of the bedlinen is done and dry now. Whole of downstairs hoovered and mopped, and I have even done the windowsill of doom which is where we keep all the kids arts and crafts supplies. its relatively tidy, because I had a big sort out a few weeks ago, but even in that time it managed to accumulate at least 6 dead winged creatures of various sizes and descriptions

haven't planned to do everything on the list so here is my progress on the selection:

Monday - Bathrooms & Landing
15 minutes....
[STRIKE]Clear the clutter from the floor [/STRIKE]and clean right into the corners
30 minutes to spare....
[STRIKE]Clean baths/sinks/showers/toilet[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Change the towels[/STRIKE]
Got an hour....
Clear a hotspot (is your landing a huge one?) - in progress, need to put the washing away first!!!
[STRIKE]Gather laundry from around the house[/STRIKE]

Tuesday - Kitchen
15 minutes....
[STRIKE]Hover and mop floor[/STRIKE]
30 minutes to spare....
Sort the under sink cupboard
Got an hour....
[STRIKE]Wipe the worksurfaces over
Wipe the window sill[/STRIKE]
Extras
Sort out your T-towels, oven gloves apron, dispose of old one and wash dirty ones - kept this one cos the tea-towels live under the sink!


Wednesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs
15 minutes ....
Do something from your Toots list, or at least start something if you have nothing you can do in 15 minutes
30 minutes to spare
Declutter and dust the mantle
Dust any flat surfaces including the hearth
Got an hour.....
[STRIKE]Hoover the floors[/STRIKE]

ooo better than I'd thought!

I've also done 5 hours of paid work today, sorted out my childcare crisis for tomorrow - dd3 had one, slightly loose nappy today with the childminder and she has decided that she can't come tomorrow under the d&v rules - even though she is perfectly well and does sometimes have loose nappies anyway when she's teething, or had loads of mummy-milk........:mad::mad::mad: Luckily my friend has stepped into the breach for tomorrow. I'll try and get her some flowers on friday.

have decluttered dd1 to dancing for 2 hours, so now I've had cuppa and a sit down I'd better drag us all out to go and get her!!

changed 'my list' this week instead of trying to work a panel of scarf each day im going to concentrate on the baby blanket as thats needed sooner.

DD3s fella just popped round to tell me shes happy to make 2 doz cupcakes for the mcmillian coffee morning at DH works on friday - that seems to have come round quick again. im donating a couple of handbags i made to the raffle

Kids are still eating here. Apart from a short spell in the bath they've eaten non-stop since 4pm... DS says he's starving! Even DD is crunching away on a bowl of cereal she wouldn't normally touch.

Had a bit of a cupboard tidy while they were in the bath, and made DD bed after stripping it this morning.

I feel cream crackered but still need to finish paid stuff. My own fault for messing about today

Right - am sending them to bed - even if they are starving

Took it in my head to go to the coast this morning. It's only a couple of miles away. Been wanting to go for a while. Really enjoyed walking along the prom. Next time I want to go look at the church. It's right on the edge of the cliffs. It was quite warm and the sea was calm.

Dailies done.
Bathroom done
Bits of kitchen and living room list done.

Got some shopping then called into the bank.

Dusty Thank you.
bossy Glad Ted was found.

pigpen

I may need a very large vodka.. lemonade optional....

KH has been elevated to CF again.. emotionally abusing my girls again.. And these pesky girls won't sleep.. I'm just to tired I can't even think straight..


ebeast packages got flung though and my wool arrived for present for youngest sis.


Kitchen is slightly clearer after OH's cleaning frenzy.. I asked him to sweep the floor and wipe the table so he took to mopping.. WIN!!

Vienetta and a cuppa and knitting... and I may ram this xbox controller up OH's derriere if he doesn't turn it down a lot!! .. its a car thing so just engine noise.. and crappy 'music'...

Patience 0
Tolerance 0

I'll finish washing up and the get DS3 to bed.

Decision made. I'm applying for a Christmas job. Have hunted for my cv but have only found it on a floppy disk. No one I know has a computer which use these so I'm starting again. The only flaw in my plan is that I haven't been employed for 12 years although have been teaching dance voluntary for 10 years. Doesn't look good does it?

When I applied for a job after 2 years as a carer I was unsure what to put on my CV. I was worried that no-one would want to employ me if said I had a son with serious health problems. Some people said I shouldnt mention him at all. In the end I was completely honest - and I got the job!

Yay Ted is home safe and sound.

Have concentrated on the paid stuff today, it had to be done so not much flying but will do more tomorrow. Builder back to finish tomorrow night I hope.

Bit of paid stuff done, but the data was garbage and I refuse to build a conclusion on garbage

So I put my thermal door curtains up instead, that I retrieved from the loft earlier. Then I loaded the DW, washed the kids drinks bottles and nearly finished putting my floordrobe away.

I think I need sleep now, but will allow myself a 30 virtual mooch.

Night all x
