Hi Yaddah

Aufish · 12/06/2007 11:02

Good morning ALL shouldbe hope you are feeling ok. Was just watching This Morning about the little toddlers that were forced to fight, poor little ones, how a mother could do that I just don't know.

My done list:

washed up and dried up
bleached, scrubbed and shined the sink
hotspots in kitchen cleared
load of washing including the bath mat
done the mission for today even before reading it, things needed to be done in the bathroom

To do:

get partner to fix the hinge on cupboard
phone solicitor regarding my court hearing on Monday, starting to feel nervous now
hoover
put clean tablecloth on dining room table
prepare tea
more washing
put away towels from dryer
load dryer
put away ironed shirts
can't think of anything else that needs to be done.

Will be back later with an update.

Jas · 12/06/2007 11:05

You've all inspired me

So far today I have been shopping and mopped the kitchen floor. I am going out at 11.30, but will do a 15 min burst of serious activity first, rather than drink tea, which was my original plan.

yaddayah · 12/06/2007 11:13

Woo hoo jas and aufish

Well in my 15 mins I have

Found my missing belt (i can now hitch up my jeans)
Found missing credit card (i can now buy new well fitting jeans)
Finished loading and have put on D/W
Unloaded washing machine
Sorted top shelf of wardrobe
Cleared coffee cups and remains of belgian chocolate box

I feel slightly smug (and slightly sick after all that sugar !)

ludaloo · 12/06/2007 11:15

My 15 minutes included:

Putting load of washing in T/D
Folding a load up and putting it away (have decided to put it away as soon as poss as DD2 chucked several piles of clean and ironed clothes over the bannister the other day )
Doing DD2's nappy
Putting a jumper and shoes on DD2
Eating a custard cream

Off to fetch DS from nursery now.....

Well done evryone with your 15 minute bursts
