Move Christmas Decs out of downstairs shower

Hopping onto this post ready for Monday

Hi all. I did my list from this morning, did 2 loads of washing, have made and cleared up after tea, taken the gammon joint out of the freezer for tomorrow’s tea and loaded the washer ready for the morning. I still have a few bits to put away but nothing major so just need to get the 3 year old in bed and I can relax.

Tomorrow’s list:

Make and clear up after breakfast
Unload and reload dishwasher
Washing
Hoover downstairs
Wipe over downstairs bathroom
Iron work and school clothes
Dust living room
Clean fingerprints off living room windows
Tidy the hall
Sort out dd3’s Nursery bag
Bleach litter tray
Cook a roast
Fold and put away clean washing

I think that’s it.

Hi everyone. I’ve been ill since Saturday night so hardly any housework has been done and my house is an absolute pig sty! I’m still not 100% but I need to tackle some of it as it’s disgusting. My losr (which Dh will help with when he gets home from work as I’ll have to take regular breaks as I’m still under the weather):

Tidy living room
Load dishwasher ✅
Wash things that can’t go in dishwasher
Clean kitchen
Bleach litter tray
Washing
Dust living room
Tidy beds
Tidy and dust bedrooms
Hoover and mop downstairs
Clean windows
Clean both bathrooms
Hoover bedrooms, landing and stairs
Clean out fridge
Write shopping list ✅
Do food shop
Wipe over leather sofas

I’m just going to jump in the shower and take the 3 year old to Nursery then I’ll get started. Ds is being put to use painting the fences in the back garden and poor 13 year old dd is lay in bed suffering with similar to what I’ve has so I’ll have to pop in on her pretty often too. I feel horribly guilty that I’ve missed work this week (called in sick mon, tues and today) but today is the first day I’ve felt able to get up off the sofa. 😩

GloGirl · 02/05/2018 16:46

Dishwasher - ✅ (filled and washed but not unloaded )

Placemarking partly because it will give me a kick up the arse when I see this thread on my TIO and partly to say how much I love
“Move Christmas Decs out of downstairs shower” in the OP. I have found my people.

Kim82 · 02/05/2018 18:58

Okay well none of my list got done as I felt horrible again after I had done the Nursery run. Argh! Hopefully tomorrow will be better. My mum is taking 3 year old dd out for a few hours so hopefully I can make a good dent in my list.

GoodnightVienna53 · 02/05/2018 21:22

Laundry ✅
Dinner ✅
Supermarket order ✅
Childcare organised ✅

Thanks for asking @cikecaka ; he's on the mend I think; he's not eating much and he still has a high temperature but not as high as it was. I may phone GP if he's not not definitely better tomorrow but it's probably just a virus so I hate bringing him there unnecessarily.

Hope you're feeling better @Kim82

Tomorrow's list:
Phone calls
Clear out fridge before supermarket delivery.

GoodnightVienna53 · 02/05/2018 21:26

Also tomorrow's list:
Laundry
Locate new cutlery I know I boughtHmm

GloGirl · 03/05/2018 09:38

Ok kitchen remained a bomb site but I did a few other important items yesterday.

Today:

Dishwasher
Kitchen wipe
Kitchen cupboards wipe
Sort flowers
Weed killer
Clear cardboard
Grown-up laundry - wash, dry, hang up

(I did write adult laundry but seems smutty somehow...)

Actually really like this thread thank you. For some reason knowing i had it written down hear actually pushed me to finish off putting away children's clothes last night rather than looking at them for the next week.

GoodnightVienna53 · 03/05/2018 14:38

I'm finding the same @PoliticalBiscuit ; I love getting to tick things off the list Smile. I've been out all day so far, will hopefully get a few bits done this afternoon.
