crikey ! We're early birds this morning !

Hope everyone had a good weekend

Well this morning both sprogs are at nursery/school so I can really have a proper hoover/clean rather than peicemeal bits and bobs, went out to friends for dinner yesterday and had rather too much nice wine so feeling a bit fuzzy this morning .. but the house seems to be back to a toy dumping zone so my list

to do
packed lunches/school bag/snack
school run
breakfast for me (dc's already eaten)
village shop for newspaper/birthday card/wrapping
wrap present
washing load on (muddy weekend stuff)
clean wellies (currently in hallway !)
home "bleurgh" blessing
5 min room rescue (ds room .. always the messiest !)
last of ironing pile/put away
school run
DS playdate over this afternoon so maybe flapjacks ?
dinner (salmon and potatoes)
clear up

I will NOT sit on the computer aimlessly surfing for rows on MN !!!

Back later (hopefully after starting my list !)

shouldbedoingthehousework · 05/03/2007 08:46

EHM you're so good at catching up with the threads

Dd did seem fine first thing this morning but after many tears over breakfast I've decided to keep her off school again...she's been fine(ish) in the day but very restless at night so I expect she's just over-tired more than anything. I'm going to risk taking her to toddler group cos I'm desperate for some adult company...hope I'm doing the right thing

Can't see myself doing much FLYing today but house is OKish anyway...

shouldbedoingthehousework · 05/03/2007 08:51

Ohhh and dd's first tooth came out last night much excitement all round

laloop · 05/03/2007 08:53

Good morning, everyone up bright and early this morning

Haven't had a chance to read weekend thread yet, hope everyone is well (satin, sorry to hear about your dd, hope she's better soon).

Loads to do today - laloop household resembles a tip this morning (should have kept up with the thread for motivation over the weekend!). And I've just managed to spill a cup of tea over the PC keyboard and my list!

Today's tea-soaked and scarily long list (so no sitting on MN all morning sadly )

Kitchen

  • tidy up and declutter
  • recycling out
  • sort out letter rack and pile of stuff heaped on top of microwave
  • load dishwasher and run
  • wash down surfaces (today's mission)
  • sweep floor and mop
  • tidy up living room plus vacuum and dust
  • downstairs loo
  • tidy up hallway, put ds2's highchair into garage as he wants to sit up at table properly with everyone else now
  • vacuum and dust lamp table etc in hall
  • sort massive pile of stuff sitting on stairs
  • upstairs - quick tidy up
  • gather laundry and bring down
  • strip ds1 and ds2's beds
  • put on laundry load and sort whatever's done already
  • also want to get outside for a walk with ds2 as it is a lovely morning

Hope you all have a nice day x

laloop · 05/03/2007 08:54

Hi everyone.

Had another quick whizz around the kitchen with wondolene and cleaned all the stainless steel stuff - canisters, kettle, bread bin, toaster and oven doors. Only took 5 mins

Now off to get a cuppa.

Going to leave the fridge & freezer until the end of the week as both are full with the shopping we got yesterday.

bewilderbeast · 05/03/2007 11:15

morning all what a lovely sunny day it is, shame I can;t go for a walk 'cos I'm waiting for the 2nd gas manof the day and the plumbers, roofers are her too but I could have left them to it.

done:
1 lot of washing folded
1 lot hung up
1 lot put on
washing up done (well half of it)
kitchen surfaces and stove cleaned
bed made
batroom s & s
Drs, health visitor and jab organising people phoned
