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?

Morning. Its miserable weather here today. Although i'm taking ds swimming later it means ds will be stuck indoors most of the day so the house will more than likely be a tip come the end of the day Sad

Kim82 · 07/11/2015 09:58

Morning everyone. So far:

  • strip remaining 4 beds done
  • remake beds remade 2, 2 to go
  • wash dishes and wipe over kitchen done
  • dust living room done
  • sweep floors downstairs done
  • laundry washer on
  • fold and put away clean clothes none dry
  • go into town to buy dd1 & dd2 some new winter boots

Baby is asleep so I'm having some breakfast and when she wakes I'll get sorted and go into town.

I also did some Xmas shopping on Amazon.
Today's jobs:
Washing.
Dust and do thorough vacuuming.
Tidy up spare room.

I always feel like I do a lot less than some of you but I've just realised I never list cooking, washing up etc, I think I do those things without noticing!

afreshstartplease · 08/11/2015 11:33

Runningoutofnamesagain · 08/11/2015 11:42

So far I've done two loads of washing. Hoovered and neatened up front room. Cleaned kitchen and put some clean clothes away

Everywhere still looks a mess and I'm tired so having a break now !

shutupanddance · 08/11/2015 11:44

I must admit the un used ensuite is full to the brim with bday/xmas presents and other junk!

shutupanddance · 08/11/2015 11:45

So far today, i've fed cats.... Very lazy. When tutor goes will give meds and clean litterbox.

AuntBess · 08/11/2015 11:50

Can I join? I've got lots to do and no time to do it Blush my joints are playing up and I'm exhausted.

My duties are;

Iron (love this)
Wash DP's fishing gear (hate this)
Hoover.. Everywhere
Meal plan for the week
Put away baby clothes and all things pregnancy and baby (sadly miscarried and got far too ahead of myself materialistic/book wise beforehand Sad)
Clean inside the fridge

Can anyone recommend a good, scented candle? JoMalone are fabulous but too expensive right now Envy

Heyheyheygoodbye · 08/11/2015 11:53

Bess have you a Homesense near you? Look for DW Home candles - they are fab and very reasonable. Might have them in TK Maxx too.

I've done nothing today but not much on my list - need to buy more sweet potatoes and put the whites wash away, that's about it.

Heyheyheygoodbye · 08/11/2015 11:54

Oh and Flowers

shutupanddance · 08/11/2015 11:56

Welcome Bess and sorry for your loss.Flowers

AuntBess · 08/11/2015 11:56

afreshstartplease · 08/11/2015 12:09

Flowers for you auntbess

The smalls here are eating now, I'm going to do some pots while they finish up then back to operation bedroom

Can I join? My house has seriously gone to the pits over the last couple of months as I've been working 6/7 nights a week Sad I've been so tired that the house has completely fallen to the side. Every room needs done, the washing pile may soon reach the ceiling and I have Christmas stuff everywhere (ordering online) that needs putting away.

Today I need to:

  • Pull DD's old chest of drawers out of the hallway and finally put them in the feckin' garage
  • Put the suitcases in the garage that have taken up residence on my bedroom floor since July Blush
  • Clean the bathroom
  • Empty the dishwasher and put it on again
  • Clean the kitchen
  • Throw out the old dog blankets
  • Hang up the dark wash
  • Get a white wash on
  • Get a uniform wash on
  • Put a towel wash on
  • Change both mine and DD's beds
  • Hoover everywhere
  • Steam mop the hall, kitchen and bathroom
  • Find places for all the Christmas crap to go
  • Tidy my bedroom
  • Get DD to tidy her bedroom
  • Give the living room a once over
  • Tidy away the DVDs in the snug
  • Make dinner
  • Walk the dog
  • Pop to the shop for milk and lunchbox bits
  • Collapse

I feel utterly depressed by that list already Sad

Heyheyheygoodbye · 08/11/2015 13:40

Bess if it does I don't know what it is Grin they just say DW Home on the bottom. They come in all different kinds of packaging so have to check the bottom to see!
