For once I'm not even up yet so you two have a head start on me.

Kitchen, I only rinsed the dishes last night so the dishwasher needs emptying and reloading.
Washing out, was a bit damp when I got it in yesterday.
Wash a load from our laundry basket.
Chuck tat out of front room. There is an increasing pile of 'stuff' on the side.
Dining room table ditto. It is a hotspot.
Hoover stairs long overdue.

There's loads more. I have been doing basic cleaning only until DS2 and 3 are in full time school in the holidays.

Mumof3xox · 16/08/2014 07:47

I have been up for two hours

All I have done is mn, drink tea, feed and dress dd

Oh an put the dryer on and fixed the water pressure on my boiler

So not too bad actually considering I didn't know how to fix the water pressure!

ilovemonstersinc never mind bloody ironing. Get your feet up!

4littleones · 16/08/2014 09:07

All I have done so far today is sit and MN and deal with youngest DS (6 weeks today!) Which is annoying actually as for some reason my toddler is still in bed Hmm So would have been a good time to get a head start. But Baby is crying everytime I stop bouncing him so can't really be helped I guess. Older 2 are getting toys out at a rapid speed - including some that I had listed for sale but forgot to put them away properly last night after an ebay listing spree Sad

Anyway, jobs for today:
Reload dishwasher
Clean kitchen
Sort through DD2s shoes and Put any that are dirty or need ebaying in the washing machine.
Clean out the drawer where DD2s shoes usually are and put everything back in tidily.
List some more stuff on ebay before it's too late to do it before holiday
Tidy up downstairs
Do 1 load of washing
See the in laws this afternoon possibly.
1 load of laundry

PixieofCatan · 16/08/2014 09:14

All I have done so far is sit on MN and FB, play with my rats and smoke my fake cigarete. I've been up since before 7 and DPs alarm went off at half 6 and he stayed in bed until after 7. I usually work Saturdays but have swapped to tomorrow!

Get washes through
Spend 30minutes with each rat 1-to-1 (5 of them!)
Tidy & Clean bathroom
Tidy & Clean kitchen
Tidy living area
Practice French
Do some homework
Clean out boys cage
Clean out girls cage
Make dinner
Make a bonding pouch for the baby rats
Measure up the windows for blinds

Lots of ratty tasks today Hmm
We have a friend visiting on Friday and DP was supposed to be home, but a job got back to him last Monday saying to come in the next day and they sorted his rota out so he's working all week now! I probably don't have to do everything on the list, but DP has been brilliant the past nine months so I want to do as much as possible so that he can actually relax on his two days off for once!
