    Had set my alarm for 7 but OH KINDLY brought me a cuppa ay 6 when he got up for work so by the time I'd drank it all I wanted to do was sleep some more so I just get resetting the alarm until about 1/2 hour ago. So I have showered (altho not dressed) and just had brekkie in front of here. Cuppa still to finish.

    Still feel a bit grot so have taken more flu tabs and hope that it wasnt them that caused the allergic reaction :eek: and hope they will give me enough get up and go to actually achieve something today.

    I am still in shock...I really hope he does it as it would save us loads of money and improve his health!

    List of things to do today.....

    Switch dishwasher on (got 2 loads)
    Switch washing machine on (3 loads)
    Get chicken out of freezer for tomorrows dinner
    Wipe around kitchen and mop floor
    hoover and a quick tidy up in the living room
    and finally make beds..
    Also got to get DS washed and dressed..He had a nice shiny new pair of wellies for xmas and he has got a thing for them (puts them on as soon as he wakes up) so got to try and prise them off his feet so I can get him dressed.
    So thats my day :)

    My list for today is:

    Finish painting Kitchen and tidy mess.
    Tidy boys room to make room for xmas toys, chuck out or freecycle their old toys.
    Hoover upstairs and downstairs. Tidy front room, somehow it looks like a bombs hit it, kids new xmas presents all over the place, where do i put it all? It seems like it's messy even though I tidied it before they came back from their dads :eek:

    I now have a 4ft air hockey table bang in the middle of the front room, now where their dad thinks i'm going to store it :o

    After i've tried tidying up, i'm off to buy paint for front room to try to make it feel warmer, my house is always cold even with heating on :o especially the hallway grrrr

    Oh and lastly wash and brush my foster dog to look nice for when her new owners pick her up today :D

    Whether or not jobs will be completed today is another thing :(
  • Hello ladies, my name is Nicky and I am 23 and live in Southampton with my partner Mark, 3 year old son Harry, Honey the unruly puppy and Charlie the cat who hates everyone bar me. Was wondering if I could possibly join this thread please. Have gotten to the point in which my house seems to be a hovel and I need some organisation. I want a nice house in 2008, somewhere I can relax and feel proud of. Will be starting tomorrow if thats ok as Harry is poorly today and just wants to cuddle with mummy. Look forward to getting to know you all better and bear with me, might take a while to get used to things!

    :hello: Addictedtolush and doodledo - welcome and good luck

    Everything is taking me so long today - feeling worse by the minute so hope DS2 is ok as he has gone out.

    Still taking the Christmas cards down and cutting up any bits for tags for next year as I go. Another 30 minutes in the kitchen then kids lunch.

    Afternoon will be DS1's room whether he likes it or not - it will be not and a lot of huffing but ho hum.
