Monday's mission

OP posts:
shouldbe · 11/06/2007 07:33

Morning all

I was woken by my alarm clock this morning (unusal in itself as ds has usually already woken me up before the alarm anyway) and while reaching to turn it off, managed to knock over a glass of water from the bedside table all over myself Still, it woke me up quickly and I've already been busy - have done the dw, made the packed lunches, sorted some laundry and had a shower. The rest of the house is waking up now so I need to go and get them dressed etc.
Ds and I have toddler group this morning but I can't do my usual supermarket shop because the car is going into the garage so I'll be back after lunch with a small list of jobs. See you later, have a good morning x

Hello again

Ds and I have had fun at toddlers
Now the work begins! By the end of the day I need to have~
~tidied downstairs
~cleared hotspots in kitchen
~cleaned counter tops in kitchen
~cleared living room hotspots
~dusted living room
~done one load of washing
~put washing that is currently on line away
~take dd to after school activity

In an ideal world, I'd like to hoover downstairs once the kids are in bed but I'm not sure I'll be bothered by then so we'll see how it goes.

I'm still hanging all my hopes on being able to have a huge blitz tomorrow so fingers crossed for lots of energy!

Well done glassslipper, I haven't even opened my own link to the mission, let alone done it
Luda Hello my two are both bad tempered in this heat too, ds has been in temper out in our front garden, shouting and being noisily grumpy when I suddenly realised the family next door where in the middle of a wake after a family funeral Had to bring him in and he's very unhappy now!
Need to go and collect dd from her club in a few minutes - it's soooo hot cycling everywhere!

OP posts:
GlassSlipper · 11/06/2007 16:42

I find the bathroom pretty easy tbh as I dont have much clutter in there and so its easy to stay on top of. The upstairs of my house is a different story. I find it so hard as the kids are downstairs and I really need to be with them...

ludaloo · 11/06/2007 17:21

We are all in a better mood now...it has started to rain so we have all cooled down (I am wondering if we are in for thunder )

We also have a cage for a guinea pig we bought a cage, a bowl, and water bottle.

My friend is providing us with the bedding as her parents have a farm....she has rabbits and rats (and used to have guinea pigs)and gets huge hay bales.

All we need now is a guinea pig (and food)
The kids are begging me for one each (the older two) I'm all for it but DH isn't having any of it.... we will have to see

Hello shouldbe ..... I love the sun, but sometimes the heat is so hot you can't actually do anything! The kids get ratty and restless and I get hay fever which makes me irritable

glasss you are doing great....I'm like you, our bathroom is pretty easy to keep clean and tidy...I can usually do a weeks missions in one hit.

EHM Poor you with all these sleepless nights It is awful in the heat at night. I hope things get better for you all.

Hello and a big to EVERYONE

Right well I'm off to sort supper

TFNxxxx

EHM · 11/06/2007 17:30

luda hope your lo's temp comes down soon. This heat is yucky at the moment.

Jas · 11/06/2007 17:36

Not a FLYer EHM, a fellow Feb 06 mum, so unless you post on other threads rgularly you probably won't know her.

We had a lovely day togethrer with our little ones, and no FLYing was done (Except the general tidy up and hoover in the morning. I will try and do a bit tonight and more tomorrow as I feel I need to catch up with myself. Did I miss the kitchen last week? I may focus on that as I will get the whole bathroom done tonight or tomorrow.

I have a new bike (Thanks to my lovely friend ) so I will be trying it out tonight, but haven't got a baby seat yet so can't use it during the day.

I took hayfever tablets this morning which expired in 2005, but they seem to have helped as I'm only just startingto feel it in my eyes now.
