Hello, hope you are all well Popped a quick post on other thread to say we've spent the day as a family, I bought 2 things for me, spent a fortune and had dinner out. Done naff all studying but I think we all needed it before we start. Since we got home I did feel a little guilty for lacking on the housework front so the kitchens been tidied (dashed out after lunch) spent an hour in my room sorting more unpacking, sorted airing cupboard so nothing falls out, hung wash load out, refilled washer, filled/started DW, then after seeing the room switch I cleaned the bathroom (PC areas still clean/tidy as were only done Thursday) because I will be still doing the kitchen tomorrow as we need to start a routine we can stick to every week, plus I will start to cringe if it's more than a week between doing certain jobs, ewww! Creature of habit like Pollybear I think :rotfl:

Phew! Right well we have some sort of schedule to start with trying from tomorrow, will have to wait and see how that goes, involves me doing as much as before and slotting study in between :rotfl: no change there then, first mission is starting on jobs much earlier while getting the boys ready for school, will have to see how it goes.

Think I need to follow your lead Lil_me and schedule my time a bit better so I know when I'm cleaning / voluntary work / running round after the children / me time. At the beginning of the week it always looks like i've loads of time but I start to run out of time by Tuesday.

Fabulous Pigpen - that's amazing when you think you could have just chucked all that out. When are you putting your next load on?

DH has finished the ironing and i'm off to sleep in a minute xx
