I happen to have a few hours off, i'm just about to put my baby to bed and the place is not looking good.......

i want to
empty all bins
put clean washing away
put a joint of beef in to cook
tidy toys
hoover and mop
empty draining board
put some washing on
and generally make my house sparkling...

so does anyone fancy joining me and rewarding ourselves at 2pm with a cuppa tea?

how spooky is that plus now you are ahead as i replied.

SpookyMadMummy · 11/01/2007 12:48

Right. I wanna do the bottom of my stairs and the bathroom....

LoveMyGirls · 11/01/2007 13:55

im back, my house is practically immaculate except from 2 boxes of stuff that were delivered today, they are on the stairs and the laundry bag that is in the living room but that is the only bit of my house that i would class as untidy. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee.

So the only bit of list i didnt do was put a load of washing on but i will do that when the floor is dry and ive had a cuppa plus i traded that job for cleaning the bathroom and tidying my bedroom so it's ok

How did you all do?
