Used to do one of these each week but I have become a lazy lazy slob it would seem!

Anyone care to join me with lists and motivation?

Can anyone join in this thread please?

I have just moved into a new house and it is utterly filthy. Today I have:

Cleaned the inside of every cupboard and drawer in the kitchen
Cleaned the cooker and worktops
Unpacked all the food and kitchen stuff
Scrubbed down the slippy moss covered patio stones
Cleaned the downstairs toilet
Breakfast and lunch for DD, cleaning high chair afterwards and washing up
Changed DD's clothes and put them in to soak after a leaky nappy (yuck)
Tried to clean the disgusting oven, only a partial success, phoned an oven cleaning company
I'm about to make dinner.

I have work tomorrow but will try to get something useful done before I leave.

Kim82 · 03/11/2015 17:40

Hi everyone. I haven't done a single thing on my list today. I took the baby swimming this morning and then just...erm...sat. I parked my arse on the sofa and didn't do a single household task. Ah well, tomorrow's another day. I have just made tea for the 3 girls, I'll do the dishes once they're finished and I'll make Dh's and Ds' tea in a bit which they can clean up after.

I'll bath the baby and put her to bed and then do a quick clear up downstairs and then give up til tomorrow I think. No idea why I feel so lazy today!

cikecaka · 03/11/2015 18:57

I'm back. Tea has been cooked and eaten, Ds is currently washing the dishes (trained him well!), living room tidied, bins emptied and the 3 youngest asleep. Brew and eastenders now. Tomorrow's list - which I will definitely do this time - is:

  • tidy beds
  • wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
  • clean out fridge
  • write shopping list
  • go food shopping
  • ring round a few taxi companies to get prices for a night out
  • dust living room
  • sweep and mop floors downstairs
  • laundry
  • fold and put away clean washing
  • get flea treatment from the vets
  • put flea treatment on cats

Can't think of any more right now, I'm sure there was something else I needed to do but it's slipped my mind.

Morning. I've not moved yet apart from to make the kid's packed lunches and a cup of tea. I'm currently having cuddles with the little'un while she has her bottle and watches The Clangers. She's getting tired so I'll put her to bed once all the older ones have left for school (1 down, 2 to go) and then I'll make a start.
