I had a long list

I've managed to get the washing done and hang it out
Cut the grass
Food shop
Tidy and hoover

I haven't washed my car. Mainly because I can't find the stuff which is in the bloody man-shed. My car is absolutely filthy and I may resort to rubbing a damp cloth over the windscreen before I use it later.

I also haven't cleaned the bathroom because I'm knackered after cutting the grass.

Wash bedding- done
Clean living room- done
Bathroom- half done, cannot be bothered finishing it.
Watch The greatest showman - done.

Tempted to pressure wash the patio because it is looking grim and is a satisfying job!

MycatsaPirate · 18/05/2018 13:55

the Greatest Showman is such a fab film! Definitely should be on everyone's TO DO list!

Our patio needs to be pressure washed too. I can't get at the pressure washer because it's in said man-shed. If I try and get it out I will be buried under a mountain of 'stuff'.

I'm actually spending dd's nap time sat on the sofa with the dog. I had a super productive day yesterday and filled the freezer, had people round and cleaned upstairs so today I'm taking it easy.

Deal with a load of photocopying and filing - done
(then another item needing to be copied turned up in the post just when I'd put everything away)
Back up files and photos on external hard drive - done, with difficulty
Got fruit out of the freezer for dinner party tomorrow

Now waiting for next item - taking friends to the vet where their dog is being put to sleep, bring them back here where they are going to bury him in our garden. Trying not to cry.

MycatsaPirate · 18/05/2018 13:57

Yep, got 90% of my jobs done, really pleased as I struggle to get motivated.

I've been sitting down for the last hour or so not doing much before the school run and work tonight, but a good day over all.

I find that the day goes SO fast between dropping off at school and then picking up, I have to plan and list because before you know it, it's time to collect the kids again!

Amanduh · 18/05/2018 14:02

Look after baby - breakfast/lunch/keep amused/stop him trying to eat candles/stop him trying to jump off the back of the sofa/trying to open the stairgate/put toys in the toilet/use the sunlounger as a trampoline/colour in the walls/put himself in the washing machine.

Have achieved all these with some difficulty.

Now baby is napping - clean kitchen, hobs, sink, dust living room, put food shop away, sort holiday insurance.
Now I’d like a nap

SilverHairedCat · 18/05/2018 14:03

Huge list. Of which I've achieved 3 things. Deal with work issue. Walk dog. Eat lunch.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/05/2018 14:06

halfwitpicker · 18/05/2018 14:07

Make a costco list

Hmm
TuTru · 18/05/2018 14:07

Take mum to Asda
Walk her dog
Take DD2 to yoga
Sort dinners
Wash uniforms and hang out
Work from 6pm/midnight

It will all be done by midnight. I keep my Friday list light as I’m always knackered by Friday and I hate Asda and although I won’t get to bed til 1am I have work tomorrow morning, all day! I just don’t have the stamina for much else.

RhubarbRocks · 18/05/2018 14:10

A job interview!! Been prepping all morning. Now sitting around the corner from where I need to be in 30 mins in a cafe getting nervous!

Wanted to sort out DD's room - did it but it looked shit so I moved all the furniture back to where it was

Washing x 3 = done

Cleaning all window sills = done

Loads of work = done

Still need to hoover and mop

Feel like having a sleep!

lifechangesforever · 18/05/2018 14:14

Work from home AM - done
Two loads of washing - One done and on the line, another in the wash, almost done
Put dishwasher on - done
Degree study - currently on with not on Mumsnet
Pack car for weekend at the caravan - to do
Walk dogs - to do (will wait until at said caravan now though)

Not too shabby today. I'm 31 weeks pregnant though and in full on nesting mode, washing would usually be left until Sunday but that's simply not good enough now.
