Cikecaka why is DD not ironing her own clothes

cikecaka · 28/03/2018 10:49

Honestly can't answer you Mikeyssister. She's home from uni after 2 months not seeing her, it gives me pleasure to do it. So handy , cause I iron and put everything back into the bag. It's just tshirtsand a few shirts as she won't wear anything girlie! Bad mammy!

mikeyssister · 28/03/2018 14:36

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t been back to update after posting my lists, I’ve just been really lazy and have hardly done anything on them!

Right, no work for me today and I have 3 out of the 4 dc at home. I have plenty to do:

Load and turn on dishwasher ✅

Hoover and mop throughout downstairs
Hoover bedrooms, stairs and landing
Clean downstairs bathroom
Clean out cat litter tray
Clean mirrors and windows
Empty dishwasher

Make lunch and clean kitchen afterwards

That’ll do for now, it should make the house more presentable as it’s disgusting at the moment.
