I've made a list of extras that need doing this week:

• sort out mounds of paperwork(all over house:o ) file into new filing cabinet bought about 5 months ago!
• sort out my wadrobes and get rid of any clothes not worn/ebay any worth ebaying and general declutter
• sort out spare room ready to move dd#2 into it at the weekend
• sort out understairs cupboard again!

Will probably add more by the end of the week, but hopefully writing it here might make me do it!

I loooooooove doing the living room on a Monday - I am mystery shopping in the morning and wasnt going to have time to do the kitchen cos I MUST CLEAN THE OVEN THIS WEEK - ITS MINGING. Still, plenty to do in the living room seeing as the family have been 'living' in it all weekend and it looks a little pigsty like!!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Hope everyone is well, lil-me I admire you getting so much done for your move, you sound as if you have everything so organised. I understand the need to do it all yourself though, you do do it so much better!!!!!!!!1
Congrats to Clarkey 1000 :j :j :j on the pregnancy - I had a miscarriage 2 years ago and I know that when I (finally) get pregnant again I shall be worrying like mad til I know all is well
Catch up tomorrow - Lilo

Moneybubbles and Clarkey welcome back, congratulations Clarkey

Welcome whatatwit and Daisy

Dinner was yummy, could tell I haddn't eaten anything since lunch as polished the lot off easily, much to the dogs disgust. Oh imagine if the kitchen was left til Friday, for all those who only do it when it's on the list, eww! Same with bedrooms, I stick to the same days usually or it's more days without clean bedding and since Flylady I can't cope with the thought of sheets being on more than a week

Right, tomorrows list, well so far, will add others as I think of them

Day time, before collecting kids
[strike]Morning routine, inc getting boys ready & off to school, dogs seen to etc, supposedly DP is getting up but will see it when it happens! [/strike]in shock he got up
[strike]Dailies - somehow I will fit them in, washer load in now to hang out in morning [/strike]
[strike]Phone round pooch grooming parlours, think our Megan deserves a treat[/strike]
May aswell book myself in for a hair cut at the same time, might see if Twilights have any appointment as then can go on evening when DP is at home
[strike]Put bed on freecycle [/strike]
[strike]Measure fridge freezer (see where it'll go in garage)[/strike]
[strike]Empty rest of stuff from shed into car, must remember dust sheets, hopefully DP will help with this or I'm leaving his stuff![/strike]
See if we can fit the sandpit & some parts from trampoline in too no room
[strike]Take the stuff for my expecting friend that she wants over for her (baby trampoline, bouncy castle etc) [/strike]
[strike]Empty car when we get there, again hopefully with help
Unpack what I can [/strike]
[strike]Tidy living room at new house (sweep and mop aswell) [/strike]did dining room to so
[strike] Put stuff in oven to start cleaning it, do other stuff while soaking in
Throw out disgusting oven trays
Empty dishwasher[/strike]
[strike]Start painting our room[/strike]2 coats on needs one more, joys of bright yellow
[strike]Ask landlady about her trampoline
BT coming between 12 and 6pm[/strike]there now DP says making him work for the £125 rewiring the lot!
Bring drill back over with us to take benches and wall units down best remind DP as I forgot
[STRIKE]Collect boys from school
Take boys over house if BT hasn't been [/STRIKE](DP need to go and get his mother, oh joys) don't need to now

Evening
Dinner & washing up
Any dailies left
[strike]Phone my Dad [/strike]
More packing toys in boys room, flinging what can go!
Sort through boys books into smaller boxes, because we can't move the HUGE one I packed :rotfl:
Get DS2 to do his homework
Night time routine

Hoping that is all, need to get the shed cleared so we can arrange getting it taken down! 2 weeks from now I'll be in my new house , hopefully with an internet connection!!!!

Going to watch 'The Truth About Food' sort the dogs out and then bed time I think, sure I sorted all of uniforms and put them on the landing but will check when I go up.

Oh cack poop I forgot to do the jellies for DS1, poop poop poop!
