Hello, quick update for anyone who's interested - I'm half way through the nightmare that is our utility room - there's no going back now! We have to go out for lunch now so I'll have to try to finish off once we're home.
Nothing else done at all - kids have been shoved out to play in the garden for most of the morning and have had a great time but are freezing now after almost 1 1/2 hours of playing out there!

See you all later x

satinshoes I'm impressed too - you seem so good at keep on top of it all - have you been FLY-ing for long? (I'm hoping I'll be more like you in the future)

Hi Everyone, especially to those I haven't met before!

Well, today is exam day so nothing has been done, but luckily for me, DH hoovered and cleaned the floor yesterday so I don't need to be doing that today! The washing up needs doing and the load of washing for today but other than that, nothing else!

Won't be around too much during the day now from tomorrow as going back to work, but hoping to post here every evening to see how everyone is.

I didn't do my sink yesterday... I was waiting until dinner was had, so then it wouldnt get mucked up with dishes, but, had dinner very very late Gonna do baby step 1 & 2 today

satinshoes · 02/01/2007 15:31

Guys - you are all very kind

shouldbe - I have been FLYing since start of October I think. Maybe September. Pregnancy nesting kicked in and this seemed a perfect way to get organised.

I'm shattered this afternoon as bad nights sleep. Had a little nap. DH has put the decs in the loft which is great and I've hoovered the living room like i wanted but that's it for us.

DD1 is back to preschool tomorrow which is great but i'm dreading getting DD1 and DD2 ready at the same time to go out for the first time on my own with them....

Anyway, thanks for all the compliments. Im very tired today and it has really cheered me up

Nice to see the list of jobs done by dp asleep. Wasn't it his idea to tidy the bedroom, so creating the need to go to the tip/charity shop in the first place?

I set the timer and the dds did their room on their own. It looks fairly decent now

Dining room looks like I've made an effort, baby has lost red pen, and is now red with raspberry juice. I don't know why I bother washing him sometimes. Baked beans for tea, so I'll scrub him in the bath after that!

I've descaled the washing machine (I hope - I bought some stuff and used it nut you can't see to know ifit has helped)

lazylou what exams?

satin - take the baby in her night sleepsuit. I only started to dress ds for the school run when I weaned him and he started getting messy with food. When she's in the buggy/carseat no one will ever know!
