Thanks for the hugs dusty - needed them this week!

Don't think I spend enough with quidco to join you in the cup - already got 90% of my xmas stuff sorted - just need bits now.

Off to work out what i can do instead of the lesson that is in the scheme for tomorrow. I am supposed to be teaching about different soil types, and i honestly don't know why it is there as i have never taught about that before. I think some stuff on the rock cycle instead. :rolleyes: Good job i am checking tonight and not having a day on the hoof tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone, and remember to stay positive and the we will survive another week of domestic drudge.

A very nervous newbie here wondering if I dare even peep hello :embarasse! I work part time, I’ve got a very demanding littlun, I don’t have much energy at the best of times and I’m pregnant, so housework tends to not even get said in our house, never mind done! Hubby does his bit, he does the DW every evening and hoovers the living room a couple of times a week. I keep on top of the washing and I iron on-demand, oh and at least ds’s room is tidy . I’ve managed to clean the bathroom this week, put my floordrobe away (great word I picked up from lil_me last week!) and hoovered upstairs as much as possible. And that, my friends, is about the sum of it. Can’t remember the last time I picked up a duster or cleaned a window… :eek:


We’ve got loads of clutter in our house which puts me off even trying to clean… It’s mostly stuff that doesn’t have a home so everything I pick up is a problem that takes loads of emotional energy to solve . But with the baby due end March, I really want to sort it out. With a newborn I might be able to persuade MIL to do a bit of cleaning for us , but I couldn’t expect her to work around all the cr*p so I guess that’s another incentive to pull my finger out!!

Anyway, now you know where I’m at. If I even get the Level 1’s done this week, I’ll be well chuffed!! The kitchen floor has fantastic lino that doesn’t let on how long it is since it was cleaned but it’s currently my greatest housework niggle :rolleyes:; I know I gotta do it SOON, so you can imagine the ironic smile on my face when I saw tomorrow’s Level 1 task :rolleyes2:rolleyes2!!!

Here goes..:j!!!
