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

@cikecaka It's amazing what you can you do half an hour sometimes Smile

Shopping list ✅

Morning everyone. I didn’t do much of last nights list as I was shattered and pretty much ate and went to bed when I got home from work. Friend has now left to go to her mum’s and there is no more work for me this week though so this morning I need to:

Washing x 3 loads (1st load in)
Tidy beds ✅
Put bins out for collection ✅
Clean kitchen
Unload dishwasher
Hoover downstairs
Write shopping list
Clean out fridge
Go shopping
Draw money out for dd’s school trip

We have somebody coming fitting new blackout blinds this morning so I have to wait for them to leave before going leaving the house so I’m hoping it won’t take them too long.

GoodnightVienna53 · 19/04/2018 12:22

Today's list:
Grocery shopping ✅
Exercise
Laundry
Load washing machine for tomorrow
Hoover and mop kitchen
Transfer DC toys into new storage unit
Online shopping.
Post Office
Write thank you cards

I'm also planning to relax for a while this afternoon so I know my list is far too long to be realistic but will see how I go Smile
