Move Away from the Computer!
Do not return until you can report 3 successfully completed tasks.
then you can have a coffee.
How's that!

oreocrumbs · 17/01/2012 10:21

Mind you I'm sitting here doing the same. Dogs to walk, DD to get dressed, house work to do, then furniture to dismantle so DP can paint DD's room tomorrow!

I'm exhaused thinking about it Grin.

I'll get off my lazy behind if you do .....

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 10:22

Wow - in 25 minutes I have:

Done the washing up from breakfast
Swept and mopped the dining room and kitchen floors

Right - company debt chasing done

Off to do some more housework jobs!

I don't really care if no-one is reading this as it isn't interesting at all but it makes me feel better! Smile

I'm here!
I shall be here intermittently all day as 2 boys and DH are off sick today.
Have taken the only healthy child to preschool.
Mainly I'm boil washing towels and bleaching stray items that go past...
Well done for your progress Smile

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 13:05

Oh dear Pepper! What a day you must be having!! Hope they are all better soon and you and the washing machine can have a rest!

I've now hoovered the living room and washed the patio doors inside and out! I can't beleive how much I've actually achieved today! I think writing it down makes you realise just how much you've done. I know that alot of other people do this sort of thing every day/week but I'm shamelessly giving myself a pat on the back!

Well done Frosty I managed to put a load of washing on before walking the dogs, then I got distracted from my cause and took DD to the park!!

Just having a skive a quick rest before I try to catch you up!! Have sooo much to do!

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 14:14

Ok I've now cleaned the bathroom and mopped the floor in there.

Blush cos the house was such a mess but Grin cos I'm getting there!

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 14:16

Well done you too Oreo - you can't beat time at the park with your lo!! Grin

oreocrumbs · 17/01/2012 14:32

Well I'm resigned to not getting as much done as you today you're on fire! And DP has just arrived with a cup of tea so I guess I might as well have another 5 mins on here! then I am going to do something constructive Grin

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 14:47

Makes a change for me to be on fire Oreo, I can tell you!! Grin It must have been Pepper's bossy voice this morning that spurred me into action!

Loads more still to do and it seems that the more I do the more I see that needs to be done!!

I wonder how long this activeness will last.......

OP posts:
oreocrumbs · 17/01/2012 14:54

Well if it lasts long enough I'll leave a key under the mat feel free to come and expend some energy here Grin. Right I'm getting up, my 5 mins has turned into 40!!! Thats my problem. So I'm going to achieve a lot now! I will not sit down and put computer on untill DD is in bed!

pepperrabbit · 17/01/2012 15:41

I wish my bossy voice was this effective at home Smile

oreocrumbs · 17/01/2012 15:52

Ok so I know I said I wouldn't be back untill bed time BUT my house work has just paid off! I found a £20 note heehee!

Right back to the grind stone!

pepper you can practice your bossy voice on me anytime, I'm in serious need of it Smile

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 16:07

Oh that's so unfair!!! I did loads of work and didn't find so much as a penny!! Envy

S'pose I'm pleased for you Oreo......

pepperrabbit · 17/01/2012 16:26

Did i mention I'm on commission? Wink

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 19:05

Even worse - I lost £10 whilst going to the Post Office this afternoon! Angry

Oh well, I suppose someone is having a free tea tonight!

OP posts:
oreocrumbs · 17/01/2012 20:55

Oh Frosty thats not good Sad. Might be worth asking in the post office if anyone handed it in (I found £5 out side the PO and handed it in once).

On the plus side though I bet you feel good sitting in your pristine house! And you win hands down on the domestic goddess front Grin.

I have done quite a bit but the place was such a tip from the weekend you can hardly tell at all!

Have to go out in this freezing weather now to put the bin out.. Grr

pepper Can I offer 3 sweet wrappers, a nail file and sum scary fluff that I also uncovered as part payment?

Frostyfoxy · 17/01/2012 21:29

Me?? Domestic Goddess?? No!!! Maybe compared to what I normally do but I have a looooong way to go before I can accept that title!! Grin Thank you anyway!

My dp has been away for a couple of days and he hasn't noticed a thing! Shows how far I have to go really doesn't it!!

As for the money, I may ask in the post office tomorrow and in the shop (ds had to buy some crisps as it is hungry work walking to the post office which is all of 10 minutes away!) and also ask my mother in law as we popped in to see her too. But if I don't find it I hope whoever did enjoys it - unless they buy some scratch cards with it and win millions!!
