• fold and put away clean washing
• wash dishes and clean kitchen
• take something out of the freezer for tea done
• nitcomb girls' hair (grim)
• dust living room
• sweep and mop floors downstairs
• clean and mop downstairs bathroom
• tidy bedrooms
• dust bedrooms
• Hoover bedrooms, landing and stairs
• clean and mop upstairs bathroom
• bath toddler (she was too tired for one last night)

I think that's it for now.

Afternoon all.

This morning, went to post office and B&Q. Got my storage boxes!

Came home:

Made lunch early
Washed up after lunch
Cleared out big wardrobe, put 3 big plastic boxes and a vacuum bag in the loft.

Wardrobe is now looking extremely tidy, even managed to get my beauty/make up stuff in there too.

Going to polish all the bedroom furniture now and DH is hoovering the whole house.

Think I'll have a sit down after that and might sort through DH's clothes. Maybe!

Rest of the cleaning jobs can get done tomorrow

Hiya,

Today i have made the beds, cleaned and mopped both bathrooms, tidied up, got tea on the go. Just need to wash up and wipe kitchen.

You've lost your mojo of late Kim, i hope alls ok.

Oh and my husband has challenged me to go a week without putting bleach down the toilets. Says i put too much down. I only put it down about 3 times a week which i don't think is too bad

I'm fine thanks Celeste, I've just been spending a lot of time sulking and job hunting as we're super skint atm so I've decided I need to go back to work. Gutting but necessary unfortunately. I've given myself a good talking to today though and am determined to get myself back into my cleaning routine as the house has started looking grotty.

It's a bit better downstairs after my mini clean earlier though. I've done the kitchen and cleaned the windows and mirrors downstairs now too so a few more jobs to tick off the list. Gonna go do the bathroom and mop the kitchen while the toddler is watching TV for half an hour before bathtime.

• wash dishes and clean kitchen done
• mop kitchen floor
• bath toddler done
• fold and put away clean washing done
• make my tea and clean up after
• iron uniforms
• clean and mop downstairs bathroom done
• clean windows and mirror in living room done
• order toddler's nappies online
• attempt to sort out Ds' phone - he wants to change SIM cards but keep the same number.

Getting there...

All done apart from ironing uniforms and sorting Ds' phone. They can wait til tomorrow. Tomorrow's list is:

• iron uniforms
• tidy beds
• washing
• fold and put away clean washing
• wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
• clean and mop upstairs bathroom
• Hoover bedrooms, landing and stairs
• go to Post Office
• go to big Tesco in town
• pop into Aldi, I forgot yoghurts and pork steaks when I went shopping on Tues
• bag up cot sheets to take to charity shop
• put clean mattress cover back onto cot mattress
• get dh to take cot back to DSis' house
• sort Ds' phone

That'll do for the day I think.

Dh's friend is bringing a carpet cleaner round but I'll wait til Friday to make a start on that if he doesn't mind leaving it with us.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time Kim. I hope you find a job soon. What sort of work you looking for?

I've been a legal secretary for 15 years and that's all I know really but I'm hoping to try something different and have applied for a couple of admin jobs in the nhs for a change. If nothing comes of it though I'll have to go back down the legal secretary route again which is okay but I'm bored of it!

I would have thought legal secretary would put you in good sted for admin work.

That's what I'm hoping too so I'll just have to wait and see whether I'm selected for interview or not. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you.

We've found January very tight too and Febuary has been much the same too.

Hi everyone. I hardly did anything on my list AGAIN as Dh's bloody friend turned up at 11am, even though dh didn't get home until 1.30am and he didn't leave until 3.20pm when the kids were she back from school. He stayed all throughout the toddler's nap which is when I do most of the housework. I was not impressed. All I have managed to do is iron there uniforms, tidy the beds, do a load of washing and wash the breakfast dishes. Grrrr!

Tonight I want to:

• put washing into the dryer
• fold and put away clothes that are already in the dryer
• bath toddler
• sort Ds' phone
• make my tea and clear up afterwards
• clean and mop upstairs bathroom

I'm so pissed off that I didn't get much done today, I was hoping to get out for a walk with the toddler tomorrow to the park but now I'll have to do the tesco/aldi/post office trip instead. Oh well...

Aw no Kim, I do get a bit pissed off when people come over and interrupt my cleaning!
Good luck with the job hunting too.

We are having laminate flooring laid throughout the downstairs on Monday - I'm very excited to be rid of the grotty carpet but not looking forward to taking almost all the downstairs furniture upstairs
The mess...!

Morning everyone. I'm shattered today as I didn't get to sleep til 2am as dh was snoring like a pneumatic drill and I ended up on the sofa. I might try and get a little nap in when dd3 sleeps later.

Laminate flooring is so much easier Handbags, it's so much quicker to clean but I do get what you mean about the mess of having it fitted. I bet it'll be worth it though.

Today's list is:

• tidy beds
• fold and put away spare covers I used on the sofa last night
• wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
• empty bins
• go to post office
• go to Tesco
• go to Aldi
• pick up dd3's meds from chemist
• washing washer on
• fold and put away clean washing
• bag up cot sheets for charity shop
• clean and mop upstairs bathroom
• make steak pie for tea

I'm not moving yet though, I need a cup of tea and some painkillers to try and shift this headache.
