Clean one drawer out, what is that in there? Sort through it and clean it before putting everything back.


On top of that I have done what seems to be a mountain of washing and had a general tidy - My in laws were here for the weekend so it was pretty messy.

Feel quite pleased with myself!!
Now where's the list for tomorrow....

Pariskate well done, list for tomorrow will be added to the first post, erm as soon as I get round to it. It's usually up by 7pm ish, depending on what else crops up here of course or if someone hogs the computers...

So it doesn't look like I am talking to myself, again, edited to say tomorrows delights now posted. Serena the last extra challenge you have inspired. I think everyone has things without places, you can't have everything in it's place before you have a place for everything. I did note that no rehoming of children and partners, well you can but don't say you did it because I told you to rehome what was making the place look untidy! I need to find a home for DS1s playstation games, because I am sick of falling over them! Oh and a home for bakeware as you can tell by the photos I posted when I need to use the oven they get dumped on the bench or hob, might have to rearrange kitchen storage.

Penny-Pincher!!

Today we have managed too:

Clean and organise 2 kitchen cupboards and make inventory
Hoover & mop through
Hoover the radiator cabinet (in the holes where it collects tumbleweed)
2 x washloads
DW emptied
Prepared dinner for tonight
Cleaned the car from top to bottom
Sort some paperwork in drawer
Balance the accounts
Parcel up 8 items sold on Ebay
Make 3 calls needing doing

Good evening lovely ladies:D
Computer been playing up for last couple of days:mad:
Been flying without list, and it never seems to be quite as productive
Littleys surgery been rescheduled for next week, hope she's over whatever it is she has, still not 100%. She was back at nursery today and it really knocked her out. Hopefully she'll want a lie in tomorrow;)
It obviously gave her an appetite though as she demolished her dinner(rare steak, mash, brocolli and carrots, yummy!)

Hugs to all that need them.
:beer:

Must go and get dinner together,

Hiya
Sorry i've not had time to read the whole thread. Hugs to daisydoll and pigpen.

Just come on to look at the list and will do that now. Helped at the school this morning and worked all this morning. DD playing jingle bells on the piano and DS singing. It's lovely!

Right will go and do the list now and hopefully come on later.

Hugs to all and big welcome to all the newcomers especially Hypno...you have to stay this time.

Right, really need to go as the dog has just farted! I kid you not....they should use her in the next war and we'd win!!!!

Evening Ladies

Hope everyone is well, haven't had chance to read all thread!! Been very busy all weekend, finished xmas shopping and everything wrapped and bagged up ready (except hampers)

I brought a breadmaker on Saturday after reading all the reviews on here, it was an all singing & dancing panasonic one which should have been £100, but it was reduced to clear at £85, but because it was the display one they knocked another 10% off so I paid £76 in the end :j. I've had a play already and impressed with the results.

The kitchen is all tidy now and dinner cooking, just need to clean floors after dinner. Washing on radiators as well.

I'll catch up with you all later

Thanks for the hugs ladies

Dustykitten-Thanks for that will make a note of it myself as dd2 needs new ones I think!

I have put dw on and wipes kitchen sides, plus ironed dd's uniform so I think I'm done.

Just a quick Q for those of you with school age kids? Do yours have packed lunches or dinners? DD1 only started school in september and has been having packed lunches but asked me today if she could have dinners this week. Now she's a fussy eater so I don't want to be paying out £2 odd a day or whatever they charge for her to just eat puddings!:cool: should I let her try them?

Just catching up on the posts.

Daisydoll can you have sandwiches some days and dinners for others? If so they should be able to supply you with a list of what's on the menu for the week and then you'll know if it's something she will eat. In my LOs' school the younger ones are monitored to see what they are eating so you should be told if she doesn't eat it and you can always ask them to keep an eye on what she's eating.

My DD had dinners for the first 2 years at school and then has started having sandwiches this year. My DS who started this year mainly has dinners just sometimes has sandwiches when he feels like it.

Hello busy bees, lots of crossing off of lists which is nice to see! Hope everyone's had a productive day. I'm just back in from my shopping extravaganza and my shoulders are groaning from carrying bags. Everywhere I went was surprisingly quiet (therefore rage free for me) and I got almost all of my pressie shopping done and a big food shop too. I need to get it all unpacked and put away before I can tackle the kitchen. Then I think I'll do what needs doing in the livingroom - only a S&S I think after last weeks 2 and a half hour scrub- before I sort the pressies into piles and see what I've forgotten.

I treated (tret if you're from where I'm from) myself to a Costa sit down with a gingerbread muffin and my SIL called me for half an hour for a virtual coffee morning which was lovely! Bless her heart, I'm so glad my brother chose a good one.

Oh well, I can't put it off any longer.. Catch up with you all later -although saying that, this is the wilderness hour isn't it, I'll be back in 60 mins in anycase with a progress update.


Edit to say, my Thanks button is being sporadic, sorry to all those I tried to thank and couldn't.
