    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Not much to report but just sneaking in to read thread, wanted to say before i forget

    Tori - thanks, doctor had a good look in his ear and all was fine, the nurse on the phone asked to pull his ear lobe to see if it hurt and didn't. It is scary though isn't it, feel for you with you having your DS poorly a lot with his ears

    Tripping Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room

    Level Two
    Sort & clean fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!

    Level Three
    Clean out the cupboard full of tins and jars.. Mines vile!
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
    Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer, cooker hood and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
    Extra Mission
    Choose one or more of:
    • Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    • Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps..

    OK - the above is what I've got left. I've also done tonnes of laundry, s&s bathroom, baked cakes with DS1 and cleaned up a lot of wee. Still got to make birthday card to send to CBeebies for DS1's 3rd birthday, cook and puree carrots for the baby and invest his child trust fund certificate. Also find Argos £5 giftcard that expires tomorrow and measure windows so we can get some blinds from there tomorrow!

    Really got to sort out the kitchen cupboard tomight as well, I'm sick of finding stuff that's gone out of date. Though I managed to buy some rice flour that was already 3 months out of date in Somerfield yesterday, so it's not always my fault!!

    Lurkio - I also lurked on this thread for a while when I was working. I'm currently on maternity leave (going back in just over 8 weeks). I wish I'd started sooner, but I'm finding that it's making a big difference (this is my second week flapping/flying). The hope is that I'll have tackled the worst of it before I go back and not go back to spending the weekend cleaning or stressing that the house is a total state.
