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?

At least I put a wash on Grin

Hi everyone. Today i have done:

  • washed breakfast dishes
  • dettol'd kitchen tops
  • stripped the beds
  • put bedding into the wash
  • re-made beds
  • done another laundry load

Bit of a lazy day but ds has a chesty cough at the mo so we've all been a bit tired today. Had a bit of a duvet and film day with ds :)

Kim82 · 08/11/2015 18:56

I've done nothing apart from washing and drying one load of washing. So lazy! I'm considering getting a takeaway for tea too...

It does make tomorrow's list pretty big now though:

  • tidy beds
  • wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
  • laundry
  • fold and put away clean clothes
  • sweep and mop floors
  • iron uniforms
  • dust living rooms
  • empty bins
  • put bins out front for bin men
  • clean windows
  • clean upstairs bathroom
  • go through shoe rack and get rid of summer shoes (they'll be grown out of by next summer so no point keeping them)
  • go through baby's clothes and get rid of all clothes that are too small
  • take old baby clothes to charity shop
  • if not raining take baby to the park to run off some energy.

I've also realised I should stop calling her the baby, she's almost 16 months now so no longer a baby (sob!).
