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.

Thank you! I knew mumsnet would calm me down! Hope all your days go well too!

PenCobSwan · 18/05/2018 14:15

Put the last black bin bag in the wheelie bin outside the house because it's black wheelie bin day.

Buy fruit, including those little, 'easy peelers' oranges at the supermarket on the way to work so I don't have to get it at lunch time. (Time management - clever, eh ?)

Do morning's work.
Remember I got fruit at the supermarket but not the little oranges.
Go to local supermarket at lunchtime to get them. Time management ? Well, I tried.

Back at work as it's the end of my lunchbreak.

Clean both bathrooms - done
Dust bedrooms - done
Wash and dry towels - done
Put online shop away - done, including cleaning up fairy liquid that leaked all over one box (lots of refunded items, most okay after a wipe - result!)
Pack for weekend away - not yet done because it involves going into the bloody loft to get bags out and I can't be bothered so I'm procrastinating on here instead.

BarefootAndDancing · 18/05/2018 14:22

Make delivery deadline for multi-week work project I'm heartily sick of (I'm a WAH freelancer) - nearly there, yay!

bluechameleon · 18/05/2018 14:24

It's lucky I opened this thread because I went to write 'made cupcakes' and remembered they were still in the oven. They didn't turn out well at all so I need to decide whether to make another batch or not. They are for a competition at our street party tomorrow.

gillybeanz · 18/05/2018 14:28

I've washed up, done list for dh to shop, sorted dd passport, washing and hung out, tidied and made beds, had a shower and now brew before work.

I was supposed to clean house and iron as well. Didn't get up until 11.00am though, so missed a couple of hours this morning.

All plans out the window as woken this morning by projectile vomiting toddler. Have however managed to wash and dry all bedding contaminated in the vomit storm. On a positive note - toddler now demanding short fish fingers ( whatever those are) so must be feeling better.

Short fish fingers must come from baby fish?

Got back from school (had to go and chase up some teachers about PTA stuff) and now can't park outside the house so car still can't get washed. The whole thing is covered in some sort of sand/grit stuff.

Also whole streets kids are out playing so getting any sort of water thing out may cause chaos.

Dinner still not made (or even started) but another load of washing is out.

Have bought fresh cod for the cats dinner tonight so will cook that first.

I cleaned the kitchen and hung out the washing before work, did an 8 hour day, went food shopping on the way home, then cut the grass and after this cuppa might will go and clean the bathroom.

I'm quite pleased with my efficiency at home but it was definitely "Friday" at work Grin

growinganotherhead · 18/05/2018 17:53

Walked our DDog then walked DS DDog (because our dog hates DS dog).
Then spent best part of the rest of today cutting down what was once a beautiful lilac tree. I am filthy, scratched and tired but very pleased with myself now it's done.
