but first I must get washed and dressed (I know, I know, but I had to take DD to work at 6am and then I went back to bed)

pigpen

I'm dressed..

WM's both on
TD on.. it is pouring with rain.
DW been on twice.. is unloaded and partially loaded now..
Broke a nail, glued it back together!! lol
Folded 3 loads of washing.... have hubby's shirts to iron though then that is sorted until we get back off the jollies.

Need to get some of this packing done.. no excuse other than I am a lazy cow
13 Ebay parcels to sort.. do those in a mo... 5 done.. need to dig the others out now
1 parcel to sort for a friend with curtain lining/header tape..
fish out fabric for DD4's dresses
Front room to declutter/tidy/vacuum
Sort/tidy/vacuum back room
vacuum middle room
make sure we have hay/rabbit food for while we are away (DS1 looking after them)
vacuum up the stairs
vacuum boys room.. DS2 can do that I think
S&S the bathroom and loo
Kitchen.. GROSS!!!.. needs a damn good clean tomorrow!! (might have hubby on task there!) Hubby sweeping it now!!

Girls banished to putting away clothes in the girls room.. they did it once then I went up and scraped everything from under the beds which they had 'hidden' because of course I am way too stupid to have thought they'd do that.. so the room is almost as bad as it was before! I'm going to slap them if they don't get a wriggle on.. DD1 is due AF tomorrow so is being a prize cow today and peeing hubby off.. I understand.. he doesn't.. lol

Tomorrow.. I need to make an appointment for a nail repair.. I twanged one off on the freezer door.. great considering I only had them done on Thursday.. gggrrrrr

Hugs to you nicki, thinking of you.
We are having a lovely sunday afternoon, awful weather but we have the playdough stuff out and we have a Harry Potter cd from the library on the cd player. DD is now setting up a shop to sell her playdough biscuits.
I need to stick to the lists each day for the next couple of weeks, as I return to work (teaching) on the 3rd of September. The house is so much better now. We had a party here last night for OH's godmother, and we were able to sort the house so it was presentable very quickly. So thanks for the support and ideas on here, particularly lil-me!
I am going to post my list of extras in the hope it will motivate me to strike them off each day.
Essential list before work starts
Sort insurance
Ring tax
Sort wardrobe
Sort budget
Put maternity clothes on ebay
Planning and paperwork for start of term

I have noticed a few of you are teachers. I have come up with a draft flylady type routine for work. If anyone would like a copy PM me. It is not perfect but it might spark off ideas for you.
Happy flying,

Afternoon, just having a quick cuppa, DH is listing a few bits on ebay - not loaded up yet so will tell him about Wed thanks lil-me. Our library has only just started to open Sundays and I was an hour too early so we did the food shop and returns to M&S first - ended up with DS3 with me, it is hard for me to go anywhere without him.

left overs

• sort toy end of living room with DS3 - started but need to finish
• make crumble
• PTA letter

Thursday Bathroom
just the floor to mop

Friday DS3 room

Level One
Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can get to
Level Two
Anything that isn't in it's place where it should be, clothes, toys, books etc
Level Three
Dusting
[STRIKE]Strip beds [/STRIKE]and replace with fresh linen
Vacuum Floor (even if it's just where you can see)
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra Task List

As usual pick any one or more of the following if you fancy an extra challenge today and are still alive after entering the kids rooms!!

• Dust tops of wardrobes & drawers if you can reach wthout hurting yourself
• [STRIKE]
  
• Sort through a kids wardrobe or drawer, part with what doesn't fit or well past it's used by - school trousers check for all 3 just DS3 to do
• [/STRIKE]Clean any one (or more) window that needs doing

Right off to do a bit more in DS room and maybe collect a couple more bits for ebay. Then time to get the roast in.

Afternoon all :hello: Thanks for all the hugs etc. They're really are appreciated Didn't get up until 2pm

Yesterday when I post I was in the middle of a arguement with OH via text message (he was with people so we couldn't speak), I'd been drinking on an empty stomach and was mad to say the least so I apologise for the "all men are b*stards" remark I know they aren't, but at the time that was the way I was feeling.

Things are slightly better today, we've spent a good 4 hours talking, hence the not getting up until 2pm It's going to be awkward, but all break-ups are so I'm working on getting out and about with people who I know so that should make things alot easier. We're working on things, and I think we'll be fine, just a little awkward still living together, but we're best mates so we'll manage just fine.

Right, need to go and see my family now. Just need to gather a few bits I need to return to them. I'll be back later, when I'll work my way through the posts properly :wave:

Hi busy Sunday People,
Welcome to the thread msgnomey, hope you'll join us on the new one when it starts!
Pollybear, what a shame for your neighbours' cat, hope they don't leave that bloke in charge again.
Nicki, you sound a little more resolved today and at least you're still speaking to each other. Good lass.

I had a lazy start this morning, I'd almost forgotten how to have a lie-in. Parents arrived at 11 and have just left. Fab buffet lunch off our laps if I do say so myself (no dining table).My step dad has drilled and put my new bathroom blind up which means the bathroom is officially finished. I started it in March or April I think..
Me and my mum switched round the door on my freezer;also been 'ongoing' since April. And mysteriously all the washing up has been done and the kitchen is tidier than when they came. I swear she's got a magic stop watch, I didn't notice it happening that's for sure but I'm not complaining!

All I've got to do today is the ironing but I might need your help with a swift kick.

It's one of those cold, drizzly days and I've just read the 'Preparing for Winter' thread..brrrr. What happened to Summer?

Get the ironing board out Solway!
I'm just taking a five minute break from mine to check on here, then I'm going back to finish it off and then whip up the yorkshire pud batter to go with our roast.
It'll warm you up too!

Solwaykid

Oh, boo, wasn't expecting a kick so soon but I will now! Thanks Tinsel

That thread is scarey. Though the one thing I am looking forward to this winter is putting the fire on. The ex could never be bothered, and neither of us spent that much time in the lounge, but this year I'm going to put it on lots, if only to use up all the coal that's in the coal shed so I can move it, plus saves putting on the heating just for me.

Hi All

I'm back from my hols with a car full of dirty clothes!

Hope everyone's okay I haven't had time to catch up on all the posts.

I'll catch you on the next thread.
