    Good morning everyone. Going to try and do as much as I can as I will be alone until about 10pm as OH is working a very long day today. So I am off to have a shower and contemplate what to do first on my list :rolleyes: . Oh just remembered I am having the chimney swept and smoke bombed today. That should be fun, never had it done before as we have just opened up the coal fire again :D . Hope everyone has a good day and hugs to those who need or want one, x

    Not doing too well so far, though I know it's still early - my wonderful DD1 woke me at 5.15am (after DD2 waking for a feed at 4.15am :rolleyes: so I've practically been up since then) I've taken a couple of Pro-Plus, and a couple of cups of tea, and am getting there now though!

    Probably a good job I'm meeting a friend for a picnic lunch with the littlies!

    Morning ladies! My list for yesterday -

    My list:
    [STRIKE]- GET OUT SUMMER CLOTHES AND PUT AWAY WINTER CLOTHES[/STRIKE] (can you see the spare room bed yet?)
    - Put all clothes away in their appropriate places - not just chucked into a random wardrobe!
    - Quick clean up in bedroom hotspot
    [STRIKE]- Get a pot ready to plant some potatoes - ooohhhh![/STRIKE]

    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe work surfaces[/STRIKE]
    Get that radio on super-blast...
    [STRIKE]Open the windows and let in the summer![/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Sweep and Mop the floor
    Clean the gacky filters and drawers from DW's, WM's etc
    Wipe the cupboard fronts, all the appliances and all those manky corners!!

    I'm really dissapointed as I didn't get much done. Getting the summer clothes out of the loft and putting away winter clothes took an hour. I didn't get home til 6pm anyway. Then had a HHE on the Wii Fit and had to cook dinner. Didn't sit down til 8:00 and had some jewellery making to do so, it all went downhill from there... I did made pack lunches, loaded DW, and got one WM load out of the way.

    I'm hoping to get 2 WM loads done tonight and to PUT THOSE CLOTHES AWAY! Also need to sit down and look at money at some point.

    Hope everyone is doing well this morning.


    :cool: soappie - I'll be on today around meetings. :cool:

    Morning

    apart from being awake between 4 and 5, slept well so ready to tackle the world today while DS1 is out. I've already got the WM on, fed baby for half an hour, put washing up away, and sorted/hung clothes bought yesterday.

    pigpen i love you. i remember you saying you covered one? of your babies up with the top you had on, and the 2 nights we have done this sam has been really content and slept most of the night in the moses basket. when we haven't he has scritched for ages and then been in with us. so, i think you are brill, and you have saved my sanity.




    Tue - [strike]take DS1 to nursery, pay bill by cheque[/strike], sister will pick him up again for us and bring him home, [STRIKE]go to MFI to complain again in person about the rubbish service[/STRIKE] done by phone, will be delivered for 4th time on 7th June
    wed - register DS2's birth, finish off and send off child benefit pack
    thur - health visitor newborn visit at 2pm
    fri - midwife's last visit

    jobs to do this week by me or DH:
    • wash bathroom set
    • [strike]wash a load of baby bibs[/strike]
    • ironing pile to sort and clear
    • [STRIKE]tidy up/hoover downstairs[/STRIKE] got rid of some old VHS tapes, got rid of some rubbish, shredded through a huge pile of old receipts
    • change water in 2x lots of flowers
    • [STRIKE]unpack rest of my hospital bag[/STRIKE] and most of it put away, just need to do some toiletries
    • get the pictures hung in ours and DS's rooms
    • [STRIKE]pay CC bill[/STRIKE]
    Extras:
    • wm - load of darks and lights
    • most of 2 washloads on the line until we have
    • sorted through new baby clothes people have given us, some put to one side till DS older, some in wash now ready to wear - condensed several bags into one bag now so room much tidier
    • shredder emptied into recycling bin
    • checked internet banking, looked at remortgage options with DH and had a general chat about budget and financial priorities
    • updated our spending diary online
    • phoned sister to see if she could still pick up DS from nursery and to make sure she knew what he was wearing so all comes home
    • opened 2 parcels that were delivered - dealt with contents
    • DH has been in the loft and got out baby bath and bouncy chair
    • toys tidied up a bit better
    • altered payment into DHs ISA after MIL gave us money for the buggy which we bought in Jan
    • kitchen benches tidied
    • cooker pulled out and cleaned underneath, and wiped
    • washing up of breakie and lunch dishes done


    Michelle, x
  • Michelle- i need some advice please. how do i get my DS (16) to do [STRIKE]more [/STRIKE] any revision? he seems to think that because he has been predicated B's and a couple of A's that he can get away without doing any revision:mad:
