Morning all. I've had a lazy morning today. All I've done is make sure the two eldest girls have showered, showered myself, tidied beds, done one load of washing and hung it out and put another load in the washer. Think I'll make our cooked breakfast now, I'm starving!

So far:

• make cooked breakfast done
• wash dishes after breakfast done
• make sure all kids are bathed/showered two done, two more will be done before bed
• oversee kids' homework
• iron uniforms done
• cook a roast for tea
• clean up after tea
• but bins out front for collection on Monday morning
• washing second load almost finished
• fold and put away clean washing none dry yet

I've done all I can so far so I'm going to relax and watch tv for a bit. Dh is painting the fences, Ds is out with his friend, the two older girls are playing in the garden and the toddler is napping. Ahhh, peace!

Evening all - well it's actually morning now! Just finishing off my jobs now as I am dd free tomorrow and have loads to do and don't want to be cleaning/tidying more than I have too as I have lots of shopping/errands to do that a 2yo wouldn't enjoy!

Today I have
Done 2 loads of washing and they are all ironed and ready to be put away in a basket that has managed to get upstairs!
Towels are in washing machine now - ready to be put on line in the morning.
Put the lawn mower together and mowed the lawn - also did a spot of weeding
Got ex to put a storage unit together and put dds toys in it - lounge floor is Toyless
Done all washing up! Last bits air drying now
Hoovered downstairs
Mopped kitchen/dining room floor
Wiped down kitchen units
Done a bit of paperwork - just needs to make it to the letterbox now
Put a small food shop away
Swapped some of my kitchen cupboards around as I didn't like how I had it

So not too bad a day..... Thought I had done more though. Haven't stopped all day!

Just got back from the shops now, I'll put the washing in the dryer, put another load in the washer then put the toddler down for a nap, mop the floors then I'm done until tea time. Whoop!

Ah fresh I wish that was my only list! It was just what I thought I might manage!!
And I didn't manage to clean bathroom or brush and mop
But I did change the bed!
Baby is good thank you! She's an angel and a really placid baby thankfully! Keeping me up at night though.

I have so much I need to do! How do you keep on top of even the basic stuff when you have a newborn and a 20month old? And a dh who buggers off to do gardening at the drop of a hat!

You don't!

Everyone fed no one dead

TBH I still live by that a lot now and DC are between 3 and 8 years old. I dread to think of the chaos that will descend when DC4 arrives!

I'm trying to push myself to leave downstairs partly tidy before I go to bed but so tired after work, waking up least twice a night to pee and then up at 6 for work

I'm currently waiting for the washer to stop so I'm gonna try and quick tidy the living room as there's not much mess anyway, and put away some pots possibly wash a few more (there's a heap)

Morning everyone
