mission

Budababe · 29/01/2007 09:23

Need to get back to this! And funnily enough my plan for today was to go through the mountain of magazines and get rid of some.

Am moving house in March and am determined to be clutter free by then.

ludaloo · 29/01/2007 09:24

Morning Ladies xx

I have had a very busy weekend so not much FLYing done....I have really got to do pretty much the whole house!

Living Room is a good place to start though.

Have a good day everyone

Need to get back to it, too.

I'm on my way out now, but will start in the sitting room when I get back.

ludaloo · 29/01/2007 09:25

Morning

We have had a lovely mini-break away at my brothers. I managed to leave the house nice and tidy so there's not a lot to do except the unpacking and more washing (still using next doors wm - thankfully she's been happy for me to use it today cos we have lots of washing after a day on the beach on Saturday!) Hope to get a new wm with dh later today (my df has offered to help us out £ wise thank goodness..)

I have both lo's at home poorly with coughs and colds today so don't expect to do much anyway - dvd's and story CD's most of the day for us

Better go and fix some breakfast etc. Back later x

satinshoes · 29/01/2007 10:04

Morning all. I survived my first night without DH since DD was born. Managed ok but she wanted feeding at 2.30, 4.30 and 6.30 this morning .

DD1 is now at preschool and DD2 catching up on all the sleep she should have had last night.

So I've cleared the kitchen, loaded the d/w and w/m. Sorted the dry washing, changed Dd2s bedding and hoovered upstairs. Hoover overheated so cant do downstairs yet so will use the opportunity to put my feet up

Hope everyone is ok.

laloop · 29/01/2007 10:30

All the magazines out to recycling box. CD/DVD's stacked back up again.
Going to fill the dishwasher, give the kitchen a quick clean and then I'm off to take the dc's for a swim (dd and ds1 off school for exceptional closure day)

ludaloo · 29/01/2007 10:44

Well the living room is looking ok again now. Just dusting at the mo and trying to get the multitude of sticky finger marks off everything!
Load of washing in
Dishwasher on
Kitchen vaguely tidy...needs surfaces wiping down
Upstairs still looks like a bomb has gone off!

satinshoes · 29/01/2007 11:25

feeling quite please as with the help of baby wipes i have just cleaned the windowsills, doors, walls, picture frames, phone, tv, computer desk, coffee tables, and dvd unit in the living room

Jelley · 29/01/2007 11:57

babyipes are brilliant!

I've had a hair cut, so I feel good, but house is a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure what to do first.

Last nights washing is on the line, and washig up is in the bowl.
I guess I should finish off the washing up and wipe the surface...

ludaloo · 29/01/2007 12:13

oh yes...I'm a fan of babywipes here too! They are brilliant at getting pen and pencil crayon off things too.
Kitchen is next...Living room done...Upstairs...grim!

ludaloo · 29/01/2007 13:44

OOOhhhhh Its very quiet here today! You must all be busy cleaning

I've done the kitchen now.
Put more washing on, and reloaded the dishwasher...which is now on again.
Lots of clean clothes to put away though now

I'll tackle upstairs now....just have to wipe the tumble dryer down...noticed some chocolate smudges on it.

Hope everyone is ok

Hi everyone.
Woke to a cold house this morning! Gas had run out. Luckily had £4 on the gas card so that should see us through to tomorrow when i get a little money.

Went to the park earlier.DD's took their Baby Annabells for walk in their buggies. Slow walk and drove me mad but they had fun.

Wiped down kitchen.
WM on
TD on.

Made biscuits.
Was going to make fairy cakes but no eggs.Not sure if there is a no egg cake recipe! Will have to ask wise MNers! Lol

Lots of good FLYing going on by the looks of it.
Well done satin for surviving the night.

I'm really hacked off about the overdraft. I worked really hard for my savings and I feel I'm constantly bailing DH out. I spend little on myself and always seem to be skint but He has whatever he thinks he needs (iPod, accessories etc.) I appreciate I don't bring in a wage but Hell I work as hard as he does. Thank christ I saved TBH when I could.

Sorry, I needed to rant. I know things could be so much worse. Thanks for reading.

EllieHsMum · 29/01/2007 16:14
