    Does anyone fancy a 30 minute challenge? It might help me get my long list done quicker - I've got lots of washing to dry and put away too, so need to do that on top of my list.

    Count me in sexy. Thanks to Anthony Horowitz I have cleaned the kitchen sink and spag bol half done - he was on the radio so I stayed in the kitchen. Drinking a cuppa then I'll start - hoovering and packing for me and wiping the AGA - be back at 4:00

    Well I tried - had not thought about DS1 and 2 coming home starving - both ran cross country for their school this afternoon and DS1 has played rugby too. So had to make Tom soup and bread for one and cheese on toast for the other!

    Hoovered kitchen, hall, living room, family room, loo
    Wiped top of AGA

    Going to hoover stairs and landing now and do some packing - boys now on playstation so will not want tea for a good while and DS3 at a friends so should have an hour.

    Evening, THURSDAY LIST IS UP! After a few arguements with myself as it just would not go right :o

    Well not much more achieved here. Been out shopping most of the day, few more gifts sorted, now know what my Dad wants but one of them I can't get anywhere. I need to vacuum the boys rooms tomorrow as DS1 is off school on Friday so will do the vacuuming upstairs then apart from the mattress. I have done the bed linen and dusting. Dailies pretty much done apart from tonights dinner, I have a broth in the SC but DP has turned his nose up at that so looks like just me having it.

    Kitchen is in bomb site mode again so best go and sort that first I think...well done sexymouse and Dusty, maybe I should set the timer to do the kitchen...
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well done Dusty - sounds like you managed to get a lot done despite having to feed the children in between. I was interrupted too by the supply agency, who have been approached to find out if any of their teachers would be interested in a Year 5 job share position. I've said that they can put forward my details, on the understanding that I would only be interested if I could complete some of my NQT induction.
