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?

Just had dinner and cleaned up afterwards. I now need to clear up the living room (again), change baby's nappy and clothes, get myself sorted then off to softplay.

shutupanddance · 11/11/2015 14:47

Love the bleach smell too Penguins i'm on go slow after a good start, fell asleep on sofa. Have just put washing on!

shutupanddance · 11/11/2015 15:09

Cats fed again. Fussy buggers, decided don't like whiskers!

Kim82 · 11/11/2015 17:04

I'm back from softplay, I've cleaned the downstairs bathroom, helped dd2 with her spelling and listened to her read, folded and put away the dry washing and stuck the chicken in the oven for tea. Almost done.

Just need to cook some potatoes and veg to have with tea, clear up after eating, iron the uniforms, bath baby, dry the 8 year old's hair after her shower and tidy up the myriad of toys on the living room floor (again) then I can relax. Think I'll watch TV in bed and have an early night tonight, I feel absolutely shattered for some reason!

Kim82 · 11/11/2015 20:29

And I'm done, yay! All jobs done so brew and TV in bed I think.

Tomorrow's list:

  • tidy beds
  • wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
  • empty bins
  • laundry
  • put away clean clothes
  • clean upstairs bathroom
  • dust living room
  • sweep floors downstairs
  • Hoover bedrooms, landing, stairs and living room rug
  • Hoover sofas
  • clean out litter tray
  • get rid of the pile of Dh's crap in the corner of the kitchen
  • buy dd1 & dd2 some new pjs
  • buy myself some new socks
  • buy Ds and dd1 some new school shirts (hate them having white shirts, they stain so quickly!)
  • take dd3 to the park

Think that'll do for the day.

shutupanddance · 11/11/2015 22:19

Well done Kim!

I've had a bit of a bad afternoon, piir dd2 is struggling at school. One of the girls was shouting names at her on school walk home. I spoke to girls mother she was very defensive and unkind. Sad

penguinsarecool · 12/11/2015 07:48

Sorry to hear your dd is being bullied at the moment Shutup Some parants i guess can be oblivious to their little 'darlings' being horrid. Have you tried speaking to the school yet?

Today i need to:

  • wash breakfast dishes
  • dettol kitchen tops
  • make the beds
  • clean, bleach and mop the bathroom
  • general tidy up
shutupanddance · 12/11/2015 10:48

Thanks Penguin, dh has emailed the teacher who is going to look into it. Thats the thing, I'm open to the fact my dd isn't perfect, who is? So I found it bizarre that some parents are soooo definsive rude. I feel calmer today, hopefully dd2 will have a better day.

shutupanddance · 12/11/2015 11:05

Today I have;

School runs/ nursery run
Rang health insurance
Laundry
Dw
Fed and cleaned cats
Rang bus company about school transport
