Today I am going to...

[mogs0]

Make a lasagne for tonight's dinner.
Hang washing out.
Wash towels and bedding
Clean sitting room
Clean kitchen

I have two hours to complete the majority of this list...what do you think my chances are?!

First of all, I am going to sit down with a coffee, some mickey mouse waffles and open my birthday cards!

Happy birthday mogs - are you a fan of the Mog books? Good luck with your plans for today, good for you for getting organised.

Today I'm going to try to make it out of the house with the twins for a change. And do an internet grocery shop. And some vaccuming.

What are mickey mouse waffles?

Thanks!

My NN is a name sometimes used for ds .

I'm ready to start working through my list now!

Today would definitely be a good day to try and get out...it's beautiful here!

Mickey mouse waffles are a bit like mini pancakes made in a grill-like machine which turns the batter into mickey mouse faces

I bought the machine in the sales for about £5 and it gets brought out in special occasions because it's a bit of a faff to mix up the batter and also not very good for the diet as I like to dunk them in maple syrup or chocolate spread .

Happy Birthday.

Today I need this thread!

take car to garage
order party bags on line
hang out washing load no.2 and do a 3rd one (need to take advantage of the weather!)
Tidy up the garden
Clean kitchen
clean living room
clean bathroom
sort out something for dinner. Pasta with mushrooms probably.

Wow at exexe's list!

Salivating unattractively at the thought of Mogs waffles/maple syrup/chocolate spread. I wonder if I ate the last of the mini cheddars already. . .

Look at the devastation that was my house before DS arrived and wonder how long it will be before I can put him down long enough to do anything more than have a wee...

Flisspaps, I remember with my first baby i tried to work out one day if i could have a wee WITHOUT putting the baby down :D

Arabella I think l may have taken DD with me. Now I plonk DS in the pram and run as fast as I can, leaving DD to 'supervise'!

I'm so tired!

I've taken car to garage.
I couldn't do an online party bag order as they couldn't guarantee delivery by tomorrow afternoon so I ended up in toys r us and spent £40 instead of £27. Grrr!
Washing is all out
Sainsbury shop done (forgot to put that on list)
And every room in my house is still a tip! Sob.

Well done exexe, you did loads!

Thanks Arabella though I have soooo much to do today.

Ds1s party today.

Hang out laundry
Clean kitchen
Clean living room
Clean bathroom

Go to shops and buy chicken drumsticks (I was going to order pizza but have just found out that one of the kids has a dairy allergy)
Buy cake
(have got all other snacks and drinks)
Make up party bags

Time to get a move on. I will update as I go along as I'm a saddo that needs the motivation and monitoring (being 18 weeks pregnant doesn't help!)

Done laundry and kitchen.

Off to the shops

exexe Well done ! You seem to be motivating yourself pretty well :)
Don't be over-doing things while pregnant though - you don't want to hurt your back with lots of stooping and bending (like I did, had to spend loads on physio to fix it before the babies came ). I know its tempting to spring clean/clear out cupboards when pregnant!

I'm about to hang out second laundry load, then need to load dishwasher + wash floors, having vacuumed yesterday. Would also like to clean kitchen worktops. Oh, and I did manage to get out yesterday as planned, hooray!

Twins nap-time now so I better get cracking.

Thanks! Well done you too!

Chicken is marinating.
Dairy free cupcakes done (how did I forget them from my list?) Will ice them when cool.

Off to clean living room, decking, and bathroom.
Oh and make poor ds2 a sandwich! he's been neglected today. Seems to be enjoying the tv though :)

Don't know how people got anything done before the advent of childrens TV! Probably in those days even little toddlers were all sent out to play in the street together with the older ones.

Second washing load now hanging in garden. Third load just on. Babies bottles for 230 feed made up. Time for my lunch now.
Then dishwasher.

Cupcakes - that sounds lovely! [wish I could bake]

Have to take babies to hospital appts today but am going to try to get some cleaning done. Need to keep the momentum going as I did lots yesterday.

I will tidy + dust living room. And wash the kitchen floor again. And water plants.

Hope babies are ok Arabella.

Party was a success yesterday. I cleaned up after but left a few bits.
Have been to the garage to pick up my car this morning, went to a friends for coffee now back at home to do a blitz.

Put washing on
clean and tidy kitchen
tidy living room
I think tonights dinner will be out of the freezer.

The babies are very well thanks. Appts took up half the day though!

Today I will tidy, tidy, tidy for party this evening.
Meeting a friend first though.
Get cake/card/candles etc

Glad your party was a success and it sounds as though there's not a mountain of tidying left to do the next day which is great!

Good luck with your party!

I've done lots of washing today. My aim is to have the laundry basket empty by tomorrow.

just keeping on top of everything really. I'm not going to do much.

I'm out with a friend tonight though what i really want to do is jump into a swimming pool!

Party went well, and mother in law tidied up just before midnight without telling me which is great !!! House looks reasonable today. Managed to have everything looking lovely downstairs yesterday.

I will do some laundry today and run a cleaning cycle on the dishwasher but no more housework plans until tomorrow. Can never have a completely laundry free day or I will end up buried under it some day! Having my 3 laundry baskets empty is a distant dream.

Hope you had fun on your night out.

I had a fab night out. I came home at 12.45 am.
The consequences of this is that I've been very tired and have lazed through the day.

The house is a total tip. All that clean laundry to sort out, kitchen is a mess, living room is a mess.
Ds1 needs to do homework. I need to sort out uniforms and work clothes.
No dinner cooked yet (its fresh pasta, pesto and salad so easy)
Boo.
