I think satin won't say if it is as she won't want us all going there and giving her the bumps! Happy birthday, birthday person in satin's house!

Thanks for the thread Jelley. I have taken a look at the links that you put on your OP. I think I'd benefit from a control journal. I might put it in my current diary which is supposed to live in the kitchen except it walks constantly. That way I'll be trying to keep it to hand for 2 reasons.

Todays list:-
~ cuddles in bed with dd done
~ load and put on d/w done
~ brekie and see the kids off to school done
~ clean a couple of kitchen surfaces done
~ hoover utility room and downstairs loo done
~ fill bird feeder done
~ give cat a nice new clean litter tray done
~ make drs appointment for ds done
~ shower and dress
~ walk the dog
~ meet friends for lunch
~ strip beds and wash it all
~ put the washing I did last night on the line
~ remember we're having chicken for tea to put the oven on in time

Oh, and luda, don't think I didn't see your post about my alleged hairy hands. You must remember this:- luda describes herself in more detail


Ivor runs away laughing again!

Ah but shouldbe, I am sat here in my lovely floral brushed cotton pjs and bright pink dressing gown and look a wreck as I haven't showered or dressed yet! I'm going to do that now and hope that a programme I like to do housework whilst listening to will be on by the time I'm back.

Race you!

Morning everyone!

I started my first babystep last night and the sink is looking pretty good if I do say so myself lol.
Then this morning I've dressed to the laces or is it shoes...anyway I'm dressed and the boys are at school.

My list for today

Washing everything in wash basket
getting everything dried
a general pick up and straighten up
A few phone calls for course
too complete assignment!!!
gym if I get chance

Does anybody follow or do the control journal?

Satin -Have a lovely Birthday! whether your celebrating your own or sharing someone elses.

Thnaks Ivor - seems a small step, but managing to be out of the house for that long (all of 30mins!) is a really big deal for me - felt great to achieve it

Hi TM, been anywhere nice? Sounds as though you have your work cut out today - Good Luck!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 16/03/2007 09:17

Welcome Upsa Saw you joined last night - well done on that shiney sink
I don't keep a control journal but do wonder if I might - if and when I ever feel up to it

...someone make me go and get on.... it's lovely this morning sitting at our desk looking out at the countryside, watching the lambs in the field opposite our house...will sit here all day unless osmeone makes me go and get on with some jobs (and I have LOADS to do!)

JustIvor · 16/03/2007 09:42

Oi shouldbe. Are you still here? I am still in my pjs but am about to go and shower, honestly. I have just stripped the three beds, pretreated a couple of marks before washing them and put them in the w/m. Oh, and I opened blinds and curtains around the house. Back in a bit.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 16/03/2007 09:49

GGrrrr Ivor stop making me feel bad! I am still here, yes, but have been making some phone calls while sitting here so don't feel too guilty about it! Really am going to get on now - honest

Thanks for the warning re the hairy hands luda, looks like I had a lucky escape there

Well I have taken children to school and had some breakfast it's 10 not doing to well am I? sink is shiney but there is a pile of breakfast dishes next to it.

Morning all.
DD's have been awake since 6.!
Washing is out on the line. Make the most of the sun while it lasts!
I'm going to strip my bed in a minute.
Something seems to be biting us. Woke up with big itchy bites on the back of my knee and had 2 on my neck yesterday. now have another one on my leg. DD's have a few too. Only thing i can think of is the rabbit/guinea pig. We had them indoors last week while i cleaned them out. Going to have to check them for fleas. I hope not though.

Shouldbe I hope your getting something done now!
satin Happy birthday to whoever its too!
Jelley I say it like that too.
taylormama Good luck!!
Upsa Good start.

Going to strip my bed now. Back soon.
