Molly - I have also been following the news about the earthquake in Japan
.
Nicknacks - I agree - it's really difficult to get housework done with a small baby. Flylady has some tips here - www.flylady.net/pages/FlyBaby_Baby.asp. A friend of mine with a five-month-old baby puts him in his bouncy chair or on his playmat by her feet and chats to him whilst she washes up - not easy, but the only way she can get it done. I tried having my second baby in a sling whilst I did housework, but found it too awkward. I also used to make batches of purees for both babies in the evening, so that I didn't have to do any cooking in the daytime. And I used to swap baby gyms with friends as having a new baby gym to play in would keep my baby busy for a bit. But, essentially, it's bloody difficult and, in my opinion, catching up on sleep should always take priority over housework.
Nettie -glad you had a lovely night out. Sorry you had housework to do on your return though.
Linzer - starting the day with coffee with DH sounds good to me
. Looks like you have a busy day ahead of you now.
Alice - don't give up! How about a crisis clean? See www.flylady.net/pages/FLYingLessons_CrisisCleaning.asp. That always makes me feel better.
Snot - well done on getting your assignment done, as well as everything else.
Feet - hope you have a good day at work and find a good deal on the insurance.
Still - have a lovely time with your friends. Sounds as if you have done loads in your house. Very
of all your decluttering.
Gone and Still - Flylady doesn't mind us linking to her thread, but she objects to us posting her stuff onto another website. However, I'm not sure about becoming a sub-category in 'Good Housekeeping'. Feel quite happy where we are, really.
MissJ - caught a glimpse of you back there! Hope your DD is feeling better and that you are both getting some sleep.
Am still on minimal Flying duties, thanks to DS1 being at home and having work to do. So, today...

Unloaded d/w
Reloaded d/w and did saucepans from last night 
Tidied kitchen

Lunch
Declutter house with several boxes ( System's system
)
Write childminder's reference
Dinner
Evening routine

Bed at decent hour
For the second day running, I don't have to do the school run this afternoon, as DS2 is being collected by his childminder and going back to her house for dinner. This means I can get on with work without interruption, which is brilliant. The school run does chop the day up in the most inconvenient way (not as much as for Linzer, though, I admit).
Right, must get on with some work now.
