OK so we are in Masrter bedroom (AKA present storage). Will try and declutter there too.
I've never done the boogie thing either. May give it a go.

I read the mission as posting her our old knickers

CranberrySorry to hear DD unwell & up at 4am. My DD also up at 4am, snotty & hungry. So made her a nice warm bottle of milk give her a long cuddle & she went back to sleep after 5am. Slept until 730.
TortoiseI Hope that your pop-pop is ok. Big hugs. Hope you get that window fixed & presents wrapped.
Well my plan of attack is make list of everybody I bought presents for & ensure I haven't forgotton anybody. Have to post a few thank cards for xmas presents dd has already received. Money & gift cards from friend & family who we won't see over the festive period.
Dishwasher is on
Going to try & put wm on everyday this week so I completely up todate by weekend.This is when our travels start.
Small amount of iroing to do.from washing done saturday evening.
wipe & tidy kitchen.
wipe through bathroom & toilet downstairs.
Not sure if this counts I did complete declutter in Sept of old nickers, clothes etc. My hubbys wardrobe needs a good seeing too! But that would be cruel a week before xmas. I mean why does a man need about million shirts will different blue coloured stripes

welcome Scootergirl.

had a rough note with DD2 but got a 4 1/2 hour stretch of sleep until 8.30

Today need to change fish tank water and hoover. Bedroom could do with a tidy so I'll do the mission too but that will be it.

Morning Satinshoes.

Hope dd2 is ok. I am still very impressed 2 dds & still flying. You are a domestic godess

Hello all.

Sorry to hear of poorly ones.
DD2 has a cough yet again and had me up until 1am coughing then awake agan at 7!
Just Been to town for milk bread etc.

My main job for today is to sort the clean washing and put it all away!

No news about Pop-Pop! He is in London so still to far to visit him. Hopefully he is ok.

Right off to do lunch then make a start on clothes(after Neighbours of course!)

Hi everyone, my sympathy to all the poorly lo's my ds 5 has been sent home today sick also. Ok I'm a complete fly virgin but today is as good a day to join as any, had been suffering with depression for ages and end result being no routine and a HUGE build up of crap and clutter.

I have a skip outside the door as we speak and my aim for today at least is to clear out my living room. I'm dreading it tbh as I'm a hoarder and know it's probably going to take hours to wade through the debris but hey ho, I'm putting the xmas tree up when I've finished, so something to look forward to. wish me luck.

Hi Mhamai
Sorry you have a poorly one too.
I could do with a skip!lol.
I hope you manage to get thje tree up today.
We are suppose to do little at a time so take it slowly to prevent burning yourself out!

Well, Neighbours has finished so i suppose i better go and put the washing away!!

Good Luck

Thanks Tortoise but seriously if I did little I'd be here till next mas eve! No I'm going in warrior styleee and then hopefully when the place is cleared properly, I have another skip coming in a few weeks for the rest I can hopefully with the help of you ladies establish a managable routine. Seriously I'm not making this up but my house is very much kim and aggie pre clean state right now.

Tortoise is right, but if you can do the skip thing first, then start on daily little jobs, it can work.
I sent my kids to my mums for 3 days and did a massive clear out before I started.

Your doing well jelley.Well done.
I'm on the phone to the H/A about the broken windows!

Don't let them weasel out of it. It must be a fault to have happened twice!

Thanks for the support guys, will check in most likely knackered but happy.

Ps
Sorry if I'm being very nosy but what happened to your windows Tortoise?

Tort Glad to hear that pop pop is in uk> Now heres a suggestion. Iam 20 mins on train from London. If pop pop is in Hospital I am more than happy to jump on train & take him some mince pies/fruit basket & not sure this would help or you think its a bit forward/pushy? Did you get your window sorted? Good luck with your chores today.
Cranberry You are wizzing through your list.
Hi NotSoSilent Good luck with the skip & getting your tree up today. Sorry to hear your little one in unwell. I really find these threads motivate me. Hope they help you too.

I've emptied dishwasher & final load of washing in machine. DD & I have been out for a lovely walk. Its very crisp & cold, so we where only gone about 1 hour. To damp for her wee chest. She is presently napping.

Mhama I had the inner layer of small double glazing window break in my DD's bedroom about a month or two ago and i was told they don't cover the cost of repairing windows.Now the same has happened to the bathroom window.I can't afford to repair them myself.(Its housing association property BTW!)
I'm guessing its something to do with hot/cold air inside and out thats making them break.
Housing officer has been left a message and someone should ring me back today!

Thanks EllieHsMum, gosh I didn't think you could be on MN nearly two years and still recieve warm welcomes anyhoo off to start now [groan emoticon] otherwise will just stay here yakkin! procrastination is second nature to me I'm afraid.
