Oh dear, is it really only Thursday? I woke up still feeling really tired and really hoped it was Saturday...sigh....

thought i might like to jump in on your housekeeping thread..esp when i read mission, seems easy (like to have a tidyish house anyways) and tomorrow is bin day!

Dh has taken dd to school, I need to take ds in a minute and then pop into work for half an hour, but then I must ~

~wash-up by hand! dw has given up over night
~call dw repair man
~hoover upstairs
~dust upstairs
~put laundry away done
~clean bathroom
~empty kitchen compost
~washing x1
~water/feed house-plants
~clean cloakroom
~tidy utility room
~mission...will have to wait I think..

Hope to make as much progress upstairs as I did downstairs yesterday but am not feeling as energised today. Bit of a downer again after all yesterdays efforts...

When I say I've done everything, I actually mean I've put the washing machine on and the dishwasher! Don't feel useless

oh ok, just as good as me then i feel better now!

Hi everyone

Satin, I can sympathise with you today as I am so tired this morningas well. Ds2 decided to have a 3 hour screaming match from 10.30pm onwards last night because he wanted "dowwwnnnstairssss, mama, waahh! wwwaaaaaahhhh!". Up at 5am too...

So this morning I am going to take it easy on the housework front, have loads of cups of tea and MN for a while. Then have to head out to buy a birthday present before school runs.

Hope everyone has a nice day today

oh laloop take it easy, tues night i had ds up at 11.30, 1, 3 and 5 (hes 16 weeks and was hugry) and dd up at 2 and then ready for the day at 7! i was exhausted yesterday!!!

OK 10.30 is my cut off! I must make this darn cake! If you see me after that, please feel free to shout at me!

Morning Ladies

Welcome to skirmish

I have already wisked around the house in the vain attempt of making it look presentable to the delivery men (?? Don't ask why it should really matter what it looks like to delivery men!!!!!!??? My name should have been ParanoidAndroid!!!!)

Anyway, my friend has taken the kids to Ti a Fi, and I'm waiting for my tumble dryer. Between 8am and 12.30pm (it had better be before 12.30, as thats when I have to be at DD1's school)

Well will be back in a bit

Have a good day all xx

Put away
Make breakfast
Eat it
Start to re load DW

Go and be a 'Reading Friend' at school
Bring DS home
Play.

Better get cracking...TTFN

Td repair man is here atm and tutting about the noises the machine is making...hope he can sort it or we'll be spending out another few hundred quid It'll be the third appliance to break down and need replacing in the past 6mths - I guess everything is just reaching the same age - it's about 10years since we moved in to the house and bought everything....
