Don't know what I was doing to my links this morning

I had a nice night out, and need to get lots done this morning.
Ds is due an injection, and I have visitors coming this afternoon, so I also need to make lemon drizzle cake.

Mhamai I'd love to read your work, if you can face typing it all out again.

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 09:29

Morning everyone

Kids are dispatched to school/pre-school ds was coughing badly till about 10.30 last night but then slept well so has trotted off to pre-school happily this morning

I have an inspection..erm...visit from the PIL today so need to do a quick clear-up downstairs and then a whizz round upstairs cos they'll want to see ds's new bed. Would like to look in and think about what to do with the understairs cupboard but I'm not sure if it's a bit risky to try to empty it out and then have PIL turn up when it's all at its worst! I'll see how I feel after some breakfast and MN time

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 09:30

..have loads of laundry to do and would like to make a LDC later too

yaddayah · 28/03/2007 09:48

Hi all, sorry haven't had a chance to read all the old threads so I hope everyones ok, got lots to do today so i won't bore you with a list that goes on for ever, i'm off to set my timer for 15 mins and get started !

ludaloo · 28/03/2007 09:51

good luck with your 15 mins yad

shouldbe I've just found a load more washing..

Well that didn't seem to take as long as I thought it would Upstairs is now tidy!!
Just needs a good hoovering

Kithchen is in need of some TLC though...

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 09:53

Luda I've just been sorting my washing into piles and have 4 loads to do I did 3 yesterday - where is it all coming from?!

NineUnlikelyTales · 28/03/2007 10:24

Morning all Mhamai I can't wait to read your work, when you find the time to post it

Shouldbe I know the feeling - I have done nothing but wash for the last few days and there is STILL a ton left to go. The worst is when I strip the beds and it takes a whole day just to wash the bedding...there is only one bed and one cot FGS

Done
Been to shops for cheese and bread
Sorted a pile for the charity shop and bagged up to take later (am most impressed that last night I washed and ironed a pair of curtains for the CS)
Put a load of laundry on
Folded last night's laundry

To do
Beds
Tidy sitting room
Unload dishwasher
Put away ironing
Clean cooker top
Tidy bathroom
Make biscuits
Iron DS clothes (when he is in bed tonight)
Today's mission
Buy veg for tonight's dinner

So I guess I'd better get on with it

Have a good day..

Hi, I'm new to FLYing starting off light & easy after I spent last week in hospital.

I have finished my morning routine, hung out my washing on the line and have just finished cleaning the hoover...which I have never done before in the three years I have owned it emptied it yes but I have never washed it before.

The kitchen is still clean from yesterday and the bathroom has been quickly gone over.

So my plan for today is :-

: Do small shop and make tea
: Iron the washing when dry
: Make up spare bed with freahly ironed bedding.
: Hoover downstairs and stairs
: Steam clean the downstairs hall (If I can find the steam cleaner, as I have not seen it since I have moved)

Nothing else as I get tired easily after a week of lying in hospital and I am on a very restrictive diet which zaps my energy levels too. That and I'm running around after my fantastic 7 month old DD who is now crawling !!!

Hopefully I'll be more cheerful later on and I'd like to get to know you ladies. I need to learn from some expert house keepers

ludaloo · 28/03/2007 10:34

shouldbe I have 2 to do, and thats just off bedroom floors!! I actually managed to clear the washing yesterday. I think there must be dirty washing pixies

~General Tidy done
~Tidy Kitchen
~Washing done
~D/W done
~T/D done
~Hoover
~Make biscuits in oven
~Tidy bedrooms done

ludaloo · 28/03/2007 10:37

Hello Babies

You sound pretty proffessional already! Take it easy though, It sounds like you have had a tiring time. Your dd sounds very active!
Brilliant list already

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 10:41

I have put one load of washing in and then spent the rest of the morning sitting here on MN! Shouldbe getting on really but seem to be nice and comfy with a cup of tea
Welcome Babies - I can only speak for myself - I'm no housework expert but do like the friendship and encouragement found on this thread Take it easy, esp if you're energy is low. Look forward to seeing you around

ludaloo · 28/03/2007 10:46

I'm stuck here too...really have to go and hoover, DD2 has tipped a packet of crisps on the floor...and is treading them in!!

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 10:50

lol Luda! Hope you find the oomph to get on soon I'm stuck on another thread which I shouldn't have looked at and is getting me down...need to snap out of it and get on.....

ludaloo · 28/03/2007 10:51

ooooh nooo click off it!! quick!!! I have two baskets of washing to fold now, and my biscuits smell done, so I really am going now!!

shouldbe · 28/03/2007 10:52

Right! It's almost 11 - I MUST get on! I'm going to open the understairs cupboard and see what lurks in there I'll see you back here later

BabiesEverywhere · 28/03/2007 10:55

Thanks ladies, I need support and my house needs the love and attention

Jelley · 28/03/2007 11:02

Hello babies I agree you sound quite expert already! Welcome

My lemon drizzle cake has been in the oven 55 mins and is still soft in the middle.HELP!

I have to go out in a few more mins, as ds is due his injections... What do I do?

OP posts:
shouldbe · 28/03/2007 11:05

I always find my LDC needs an hour to cook too Jelley Mine usually tends to sink in the middle too but it doesn't matter if it stays a bit gooey, it's quite yummy that way - hope it's OK

Hi guys, just popping on. I am planning to clean my oven today - am I able to do it with lemon and bicarb? How?

Also - I have cleaned my shower head and draining with white vinegar and I have this overwhelming urge to go to the chippy! My mouth is watering, how strange!
