Mission

OP posts:
Chloe55 · 31/01/2007 08:01

Plenty to do today, got an hour when I get back from work this aft. Should I just set a timer today and do a 15min rescue in each room?

Managed to do 2 loads of washing after walking to mums to pick up some powder and conditioner (shopping is coming tonight!) So, getting exercise as well as organised! Good job aswell coz I put on 1.5lbs at weight watchers last night

satinshoes · 31/01/2007 08:07

Morning all.

DD1 at preschol this morning. House is a tip so need to at least hoover and mop if I can. Trying to declutter living room still so that includes the mission but toys everywhere

Chloe - dont worry about the weight, what you put on last night, hopefully you'll lose next week

Morning

Kids still at home with this nasty cold - I'm not sure how long I can keep them off school with "just" a cold but thye're both streaming with snot (yuk!) and they're not quite right so I hope that's the right thing to do. I'd hate to spread the germs around at school.

Quite a few jobs again today, I want to get some extra jobs done in living room~
~clear cupboard under stairs (carried over from yesterday)
~tidy videos and DVDs
Also~
~dose kids with calpol
~wipe snotty noses
~change bed in master bedroom (worth it now with new wm coming )
~s&s kitchen
~clean hob
~s&s bathroom and cloakroom
~make beds
~load of washing to neighbour (last time cos have new wm coming tomorrow )
~clear utility room (ready for new wm )

should put household filing on my list but I know I won't do it I'm waiting for time with no kids to get it done (that's my excuse anyway!)

Did I mention that I have a new wm arriving tomorrow?

Have a good day everyone

shouldbedoingthehousework · 31/01/2007 09:19

Chloe 15mins with a timer sounds good or if possible just wait and let the missions carry you around the house over the next few weeks...I try to post the jobs I need to do every day on this thread and find it handy to just take the time in the mornings to think through my day and make a note of what I need to do. I now try to fit in the missions too (not always though) as they can help get the extra jobs done that can build up otherwise

tortoise · 31/01/2007 10:30

Morning all.
Hey did anyone hear a rumour about shouldbe getting a new wm tomorrow? Her neighbour will be relieved.

Nothing done yet really.
Except Dress,dress DD'd,Breakfast,lunch boxes,walk 2 dc to school,Goto Drs to pick up prescription,walk home!

I have a cold sore coming on my lip too.
DD1 still not great.DD2 is ok but still coughing.Sent DS2 to school even though he has a cough.Spoke to his teacher and she was fine with it.

Not sure what jobs to do toady.Don't feel like doing anything really.

Must change my bed. Been meaning to do it all week!

EllieHsMum · 31/01/2007 10:39

Jelley Same here, 1030,1130,130, then 230 until 330 ish, then 5am. Unfortunately at 230 there had been nappy leakage. So Madamepee had to be changed & so did the cot. Not her fault I must have not put on the nappy correctly So after the change Ellie thought it was time to play.

This cough thats going about is terrible. Hope it clears soon for you both.

EllieHsMum · 31/01/2007 10:39

Tort hope that cold sore goes quickly.

tortoise · 31/01/2007 10:51
