  • Not done too badly here today, managed to get lounge & hallway hoovered,dusted and de-cluttered by 10am!:D But you wouldn't know to look at it now. Have been encouraging kids to play upstairs more but it doesn't seem to be working! Maybe I should tell them they are not alowed tommorow, reverse phychology and all!;)

    Went to Ikea but was good and only got the blanket box I went for plus some wrapping paper.

    Am at work tommorow am and then visiting friend with new baby in the afternoon so doubt I'll get much done tommorow.

    Oh and need to go get a friend for dd1's fish as it seems a bit lonely, whenever I go in to her room it goes a bit mad like it's tring to talk to me(ok that's sounds mad but It's true):o :rotfl:

    Tia-I'm sure you'll know if it's right to take ds to docs or not, I would do what you have said see how he goes. I always Have mine in bed with me if they are poorly to keep an eye on them

    Ok must go tidy up kids toys:mad: and get to bed

    Right I'm off to bed. Probably won't be able to get on in the morning as I think I've read somewhere that the forums are going to be down between 1am and 8am. Off to Boots tomorrow evening for one of their shopping nights ( I missed the last one) so not sure what'll happen tomorrow night.

    Anyway

    Have a good day

    Night

    Hi,

    I am in too. We moved house (to other side of the country) three weeks ago. Now its time to get back into a schedule with kids (2y and 4 mth) and cleaning.

    I already have a household plan...... Which has been ignored of late. So here we go, see if we can stroke of some things on the list:

    Monday:
    Kitchen and Playroom cleaning,
    P/W sorting

    Tuesday:
    Hall/ Toilet cleaning,
    Polish Shoes,
    Hubby does the ioning!!:j

    Wednesday:
    Kids Rooms both
    Odd Jobs
    Online Food Shopping

    Thursday
    L/R

    Friday
    Bathroom
    our Sanctuary
    Hubby does ioning:j

    Sat/ Sun just the basics to have family time together!

    Washing will be done at night, whenever necessary (lower rate)
    From now on, slow cooker meals will be done over night!

    Oh, and daily playgroups and kids entertaining time!

    So, see if I can stroke anything off tomorrow!
    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!

    Hi everyone, sorry haven't been online since it was fixed, phew it's back!!!

    egon welcome, you're more than welcome to follow your own schedule, our lists run slightly different but any work from there own lists as it depends what works for you.

    I have posted Wednesday's list for now, will post a list for Tuesday in the morning if anyone wants to catch up, yes it would have been Living Room, Hall and Stairs, as I should be in bed by now but got in late then had loads to sort out. I will read through tomorrow :)

    Hope you are all ok, maybe it'd be worth getting an email list for everyone if they want to be emailed the list if the site is down? If you want to be emailed if the site is down drop me a PM with your email address on and I'll sort it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
