    Good afternoon, I thought I would join all you nice people on here in the home that it will make me get myself organised.

    Monday - Kitchen
    Remember to take medications (suffering from a strained intercorsal muscle)
    Do course work
    Remove everything from the fridge and wipe
    Do a meal plan for April
    Clear and wipe the surfaces
    Pay some money off debt (catalogue)
    Hoover downstairs
    Polish any granite, stainless steel etc
    Hoover and mop the floor

    Update lists of what is in the cupboards
    Make a start on shopping list
    HHMe time - just to sit and think or flick through a magazine
    Wipe and water plants
    Do you still need to organise/buy easter eggs or gifts?

    Decide what to wear for interview at the end of the week

    Ironed for 3 hours this morning, then got sidetracked by the mess that is DS1s bedroom. Tipped 3 drawers of t shirts out and am folding them or chucking them in the laundry which ever they need. Why do boys think it's ok to put dirty clothes away instead of in the laundry????
    Been work, just about to have food with DH then once he's gone back I'll finish folding and ironing.
    Neighbour got her flowers and I remembered to oust my uncles birthday card while out and do the bottle bank and battery recycling

    Wm has just finished so need to hang that out as well

    Another 2 hours ironing - just mine and DH left

    DS1s room is now tidy as in clothes put away dirty stuff now in wm and all litter off the floor is in his doorway so he can retrieve what he wants and bag + bin the rest
    Washing hung out
    Boys both home so we've decluttered a slice of birthday cake each the neighbour bought round for us.
    Just going to grab a coffee then I'll crack back on with the ironing

    Welcome back Rebekah, when's the new baby due?

    Still plodding through the ironing but down to the last 6 items so I'm going to keep going till it's all finished, laundry basket is also empty so I only have what's on the line or in the wm to put in the basket.
    I'm putting away in batches as I do it so not got that task at the end.

    Welcome MMM and Rebekah :j

    Have had a hit and miss day doing bits and bobs here and there while tending to my poorly girl. - I've done some admin, parceled up and posted some sold items - yay! tackled a long standing kitchen hotspot that drives my DH potty, and done 4 loads of washing. Unfortunately dd has been creating washing at about the same rate as I can do it, so I'm only really standing still :rotfl:

    dd1 has been to gardening club after school so I now have seed tray clutter to contend with, but the plus side was a pleasant half hour in the cafe doing homework with ds with a strawberry milkshake and a choux bun. Hoping and praying that dd will be well enough to go the childminder tomorrow........:eek: :o

    Hope your little girl is feeling better soon mamaninie, and that she is well enough to go to play school tomorrow.
    Finished all the ironing, so I've put the mending in the ironing basket as I want to tackle that next.
    Bagged up about 40 spare coat hangers to offer on freecycle, still got a big box of spare ones so once everything is ironed that washing or dying I'll be able to bag another load up.
    Threw away about 15 odd socks, I haven't seem their friends in ages and they aren't brill looking so away they go.

    Going to start tea now and do a bit in the kitchen - all I've really done off the list was the fridge on Saturday.

    Evening flyladies. Long paid stuff day done, managed to whizz the hoover round downstairs first though, and two washloads done and on airer between calls. Had to decline last call of the day as needed to take OldDog to the vet. Decluttered over £100, she has a heart murmur and arthritis. Blood test results will come through tomorrow.

    Just about to wash up the dishes and will then have more than HH me time. Need to cuddle those doggies!

    Have a great evening everyone.
