Morning

The sun is shining here (for the time being at least) so I'm feeling better already

Have lots to get through again today so would appreciate any get-off-your-backside-and-get-motivated vibes if anyone has any going spare

Will be back once the kids are out of the way....

I'm home from the school run - cycled dd to school then dh offered to take ds to pre-school so I have an extra 30mins
My list today is~
~make beds and do quick clear up upstairs (was tidy yesterday so not much to do )
~tidy downstairs
~sort toy cupboard
~start clearing major hotspots...nightmare job, I'm totally daunted by them
~wm x2 if poss

The hotspots consist of several cupboards downstairs where I hide all the clutter ....I never even open them anymore cos I'm so ashamed but have got really fed up with them now the rest of the house is (usually) looking so much better.
Have a good day everyone, I'll report back later.

Morning All

Its pouring down with rain here
I'm in all day I think so will get cracking.
Not doing a list, just doing the normal routine today and anything else will be a bonus!

see you all in a bit xx

But Jelley I'm really rubbish at doing them! also I only really have time to type a few words to start things off in the morning. I basically start things off for everyone whilst the kids are eating the breakfast and then I have to switch off. This house is bedlam first thing in the morning!

Here's the list for the day:

Hoover the front room
wash up and dry up
W/M and tumble dryer loaded
general tidy up
have already cleaned the bathrooms this morning, so am also ahead of the missions

Can't think of anything else to at the moment but I expect I'll think of something as I go around.

Morning Ladies

Just to let you know, I was admitted to A&E 10 days ago and ended up having emergency gall bladder surgery.

Which went wrong, so I ended up with open surgery instead of the key hole and I was in hospital for a week.

Now I'm at home suffering with an infected wound on painkillers and antibiotics.

So I won't be around here for a while yet and depressingly my house is desending into chaos again as my DH is doing the bare minimum around the house....But I am not complaining as he is also looking after me and our DD.

So enjoy FLYing ladies and I hope to rejoin you very soon

~make beds and do quick clear up upstairs (was tidy yesterday so not much to do ) done
~tidy downstairs doing
~sort toy cupboard done
~start clearing major hotspots...nightmare job, I'm totally daunted by them
~wm x2 if poss 1st load in

Going to finsh tidying downstairs then tackle the under stairs cupboard (yikes!!)

It's gone very dark so I think it's going to rain again soon was hoping to be able to hang the washing out on the line instaed of cluttering up my bathroom with the clothes horse (can't justify the td so much at this time of year)

babies that sounds horrible poor you {{{{HUGS}}}} Forget the housework, it will get fixed in the end, but you won't unless you rest up. My thoughts are with you

I'm not starting my new admin role very well am I...I'm supposed to be writing letters for dh's contacts to notify them of the change...so far I have tidied round, eaten lots of toast, chatted to shouldbe on MSN, played "horsey horsey" with DD2, opened YouTube and sang the "Fna Fna" Muppet song with DD2....and now come on here!!! Really should get on
