Well, I've started cleaning the kitchen - decided to clean out all the cupboards, big mistake the room is currently miles worse than it was and I have to collect dd and make supper soon....

It will look better in the long run though, won't it?

I like the sound of your plan GS a cuppa sounds like just the thing....if only I could reach the kettle!

Good afternoon ladies, just back from the school run and am sitting down with a cuppa.

My done list

Shopping for school uniforms
hoovered AGAIN!
Went down to school as DDs forgot their trousers for this afternoon's performance
sorted recycling
sort out juice bottles, we do it in the big bottles so then the kids can just get it out of the fridge
sorted the conservatory, also bought a nice new tablecloth!
put tea on
lunches

To do:

Put away the shirts that I ironed last night
iron 7 more shirts tonight
sit down and rest!!!!!!

Looks like I'm abit behind everybody at the moment with their lists, but considering I have 4 kids the house is very tidy! I suppose I should be glad of that fact.

Oh, I also sorted out the porch

Help me please! I've got loads of ants in my conservatory, just sprayed them with ant killer, but is there anything that I can use that is natural to stop them from coming in!

I've been lurking on a gardening thread about ants and cornflour or cinnamon have been suggested.

I use industrial quantities of ant powder as there is a huge nest under our entire street. I have flying ants around my front door if I don't catch them early enough, but this year also have nests in the garden so big they are killing the grass

Thanks Jas, will try those ideas out. The conservatory is our dining room and I hate the idea of using anything chemical in there, tonight though was a one off until I can find a solution.

Well i finally got busy with the desk and its soooo much tidier.
Any bets on ho long it will stay like it?
Shelves to do tomorrow then the kitchen. Its not too bad but the fridge needs a serious scrub.
