Dailies:

• [STRIKE]Beds[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Bathroom S&S[/STRIKE]
• Laundry - 1, maybe 2 loads today depending on the weather.
• Evening meal - no idea but I think it should be a proper meal instead of just toasties or sandwiches

Extras:

• Email photos to OH to print out (once I've double checked them)
• Ebay parcels - need to check on the postal strike situation first though
• Ironing
• Declutter a cupboard

Kitchen (no diningroom)

• [STRIKE]Clear & wipe surfaces[/STRIKE]
• Clean floors
• [STRIKE]Cupboard fronts & appliances[/STRIKE]
• Wipe window sil & window
• [STRIKE]Sort fridge[/STRIKE]

Just going to go and sort the washing out when I've finished this coffee and then I might do a little bit of gardening, or I might sort some more photos out, but I should really get the ebay parcels to the post office...if I can just keep DD occupied elsewhere long enough to wrap them :wave:

Yikes, still got loads to do. Childre at sports camp 10 till 3 all week so i've been working to try and catch up with that. I've got half an hour now to do a bit and will catch up again when they're in bed. Have a good week xx

shirley park excellent news. It will give you lots more motivation to crack on with the jobs you need to do now, and you will be able to get rid of the pita sooner hopefully.

jillD noticed your post about nappies.You can buy bigger packs of nappies in certain brands. I've seen big packs of pampers and huggies at boots. Didn't personally buy any as my little one had already grown past that size. But i think it did work out better value for money. I agree that a pack of 30 disappears at a scary rate.



Was doing ok till i was playing with charlie on the floor, and he managed to hit my nose with his forehead, and i thought he broke my nose how much it hurt. Didn't bleed though, so i don't think it is, but it is still painful.

going to make a bit of a start in the kitchen in a minute. Charlie is asleep again so hopefully he will stay that way for a bit.


Michelle, x

DH will also be finding out the clothes he wants to take away as he has only just informed me he won't be in for dinner tomorrow night. :rolleyes: So i have also done a mini - swap round on the meal plan - on 2nd thoughts, i may also leave epilating my legs till tomorrow night, as i can then do it downstairs, and not risk waking charlie up. I love it when my plan comes together.
