So DD3 is having a party on Friday! I need to have at least the downstairs tidy. My utility room and downstairs loo have to be decluttered.

To Do
Washing
Move Christmas Decs out of downstairs shower
Dishes
DH's Dinner

That will do for starters

You’ve done well today cikecaka, go you!

I’ve been a lazy sod again today and hardy done anything, the house is a state! No work for me tomorrow so it’s arse in gear time. I need to shower and get dressed as soon as I get up, the longer I sit around in my pyjamas the less likely I am to get up and do something. Tomorrow’s list is:

Clean kitchen
Clean out and bleach litter tray
Take out recycling
Tidy beds
Feed cats
Make and clear up after breakfast
Tidy & dust living room
At least 2 loads of washing
Clean both upstairs and downstairs bathrooms
Hoover whole house
Get kids to tidy their bedrooms
Shower 3 year old
Very small top up shop
Rearrange dd1’s orthodontist appt
Fold and put away clean washing

I’m sure there was something else i needed to do tomorrow but I can’t remember what....it might come to me at some point.

Kim82 · 05/04/2018 09:28

It's a blue sky sunny beautiful day here. Just returned from the park with my boy to come home to the housework. All I done this morning was wash the dishes. Gonna have a power 2 hours before lunch.

Kim82 · 05/04/2018 11:38

It’s lovely and bright here too strawberry, my girls are drawing in the garden which is nice (ds is still holed up in his bedroom though...), it also means I’ve been able to get some stuff done uninterrupted.

3 year old got dressed before I got round to showering her so I’ll have to do that before bed tonight and I can’t do the top up shop as dd2 has a friend round and I don’t fancy dragging them all out while they’re enjoying themselves. So I’ve done all I can for now.

Mmm @cikecaka, I haven't had a proper fry in the longest time and you have me wanting one now. DH is away so won't bother just for me but might plan one for next weekend Grin.

Kim82 · 08/04/2018 11:08

Morning everyone. You’ve got me wanting a dry up too now cikecaka. I’ve been really lazy this morning and I’m still slobbing on the sofa in my pjs. All I’ve done is stick the washer on.

At some point today I need to:

Clean kitchen
Empty dishwasher
More laundry
Iron work clothes
Take dc swimming
Tidy and dust living room
Strip and remake our bed (didn’t do it yesterday)

I can’t be bothered moving yet though so it can all wait.
