Kelly's mission

OP posts:
Jelley · 09/01/2007 09:21

I was certain that if I left it until after the school run, someone else would have started today's thread, as feel a bit like I'm taking over by doing it every day.....but no! Are you all lurking? or out having a life?

Today's list

Wash up
Shine sink
Mop floor
Do mission for today and yesterday
Put washing away
Do more washing
Hoover
Dust ceilings (I noticed loads of cobwebs up there this morning)
Sort out house insurance

Good morning

Ok well I don't have a pantry...but could sort through the cupboards..

Dd1 is at school, ds is at nursery and dd2 is playing with her bricks so now would be a good time to get on and do something.

I have been thinking about little Maude this morning...its all so sad, the pictures made me cry! I shall be thinking of her and GGG and family today

I'd better crack on...BFN xx

Cappuccino · 09/01/2007 09:25

okay I'm back; been away from the thread a while

have swished and swiped
have done a load of washing

am working today but need to

hang up washing
wash up
weekly finance check

might have a quick look at Kelly's mission but I have been doing my kitchen cupboards one at a time every time the zone comes round so will probably do the next one instead

ludaloo · 09/01/2007 09:27

Hi Jelley,

I have just got back from the school run, just been here long enough to re light little Maude a candle.

Don't worry about doing it! I'm very grateful

shouldbedoingthehousework · 09/01/2007 09:38

Hi Jelly, Luda and Cappuccino,

Just home from school run - thanks for the link Jelly

After nothing much happening round the house for the past couple of days I need to make some progress while both kids are out this morning. So -

~don't have a pantry but will sort through largest cupboard
~clear breakfast stuff from table
~dust upstairs
~hoover upstairs
~2 x loads of washing
~hoover downstairs
~s&s bathrooms
~unpack bags that came came in from the car at weekend (toys, books, kids hats mostly)

ds and I need to do some errands for dh after lunch so this list must be done by 12.30! Better get my skates on, see you later

Flamesparrow · 09/01/2007 09:43

Finish washing up

Shine sink

Blow nose many many times

EllieHsMum · 09/01/2007 09:56

Hey everybody just wanted to let you know that back much better. Still bent over like Mrs Overall from Acorn Sketch when I walk. Fine when i sit or lay on side. Mum Couldn't come as planned she got the awful flu thingy. MIL coming from Scotland tonight(dh's step mum) Sounds like you are all doing really well.

funnypeculiar · 09/01/2007 10:11

Morning. Have swished & swiped , but am working this am (clearly not on mn then... so not allowed away from the computer until lunchtime. Except to wee....

EllieHsMum · 09/01/2007 10:21

I just read all todays posts on todays thread. I feel terrible didn't know about the little Maude. My thoughts are with all her family

DimpledThighs · 09/01/2007 10:22

I always appreciate it Jelley

My list:

-dc bedrooms
-swish swipe downstairs
-supermarket (so clear out fridge)

All with a heavy heart and a complete sense of injustice. Don't think will post much today.

taylormama · 09/01/2007 10:25

hello - will be doing the mission in the kitchen - have no hot water as boiler packed up so need to be busy to keep warm as no heating.
It is unbelievably sad about Maude - it is a cliche but it puts life into perspective.
G-d bless them all

Have spent/wasted almost 30mins trying to figure out where the hell the box from the Thomas dvd we borrowed from a friend can have gone. Need to give it all back today but I can't find the box anywhere! Have a rack for storing dvds and we're ususally pretty good at putting them away in there but it's not there or under sofa or in ds's bedroom....where else can I look ?

Good daay to you all xx

JustIvor · 09/01/2007 16:31

Sorry Jelley. I'm in work Mon to Weds each week but I promise I'll try to start the thread if I'm around on the other days.

I agree with the posts that have said that today has been a sad one for MNers. I can't imagine how tough it must be for ggg and family.

luda We'll meet up sometime then. When are you next going to be in town? I'm there on Thurs this week. I've got a couple of appointments but would be free first thing until 10am or else around 11am to 12.30pm or else after around 1.30pm. Any good to you? Maybe next week if not?

Right. I'd better get on and make the tea.

ludaloo · 09/01/2007 17:14

Thursday sounds fine Ivor I can be in town for around 11am if that suits.
I will have ds and dd2 with me..dd1 will be at school. I was thinking maybe go for a coffee? (Well a coke as I don't drink tea or coffee )so somewhere child friendly? Morrisons....? Only thinking there because its easy to get to too...any ideas?

I have got to the bottom of my washing again! I did the sheets as I didn't have much to wash, and now the basket is empty again! Might wash all the cushion covers next...
