i realised that after
i like bigbeer better, reminds me of my weekend

SlightlyMadSweden · 17/09/2007 19:13

SMS DID A MISSION SMS DID A MISSION SMS DID A MISSION SMS DID A MISSION (on a monday)

Actually - what is the mission??? Is it the clearing out the medicine cabinet at teh top of the page (which is actually in my kitchen) or doing the base of hte toilet and DCs room) at the bottom of teh page? (I did the toilet BTW, and DTDs did their room).

And SMS did a S&S (actually I just did the S cos I didn't want DD3 to see me with toilet brush - I figured that was a BAD idea. Will do that later.

Full daily report to follow atfer DTDs bedtime

hippipotami · 17/09/2007 19:44

I did the toilet mission. With two men in the house (well okay one is only 8) that needed doing [pooey that smelled a bit yuck emoticon]

Have to say though, my surfaces are a disgrace, and all downstairs floors are covered in a fine layer of sand which has fallen out of the dog's coat after his walk. Groan.

Will hoover it up now, you have all inspired me with how much you have done today.

Jas · 17/09/2007 20:04

Toilet is the mission, and the kids room rubbish.

The bathroom cabinet is a suggestion for your hotspotting or part of your 15 mins.

Each week is in a different zone, and the extra jobs will focus in that zone, so we will get bathroom missions all week this week.

I've hoovered and tidied, so I think I'm done for the night.

hippipotami · 17/09/2007 20:24

you put your bra on in the evening?

SlightlyMadSweden · 17/09/2007 20:24

Fair comment. I think that is the only morning thing

SlightlyMadSweden · 17/09/2007 21:06

Actually the bra has just come off .

What happens when we get to day 30???? Do we have to join the big girls thread? Will you still look after us?

Jas · 17/09/2007 22:01

Yes and Yes.

I have just found out that one of the regulars didn't know what a control journal is so we can kick them all into doing it properly.

babypowder · 17/09/2007 22:48

I may just change my name and stay on the babysteps forever!

Got a bit distracted today, as my oldest friend gave birth today! Yippee!! I'm an honourary auntie I just wish I lived closer so I could see my new almost-niece.

Hi!
No one will see this i always come on here too late
You are all doing so well and doing SO much!! I am feeling abit behind and useless. Just seem to be up to my eyes in work and other commitments.
I did morning evening and abit of an afternoon routine today. No hotspots or anying, again. Will try harder tomorrow.
Wish i could just stay in all day for a couple of weeks and get on with it all. I am feeling like giving up at the moment.
Jas, if you see this, hope you are feeling better.

SlightlyMadSweden · 17/09/2007 23:48

Blossom, i am here late too. I work too. I certainly don't do everything every day. I just do what i can - I am happy f I can hotspot to keep the clutter away most days.

Do you work FT? I have Thurs/Fri so my aim is to do 2 missions a week and pick the ones I want to do and do them Thurs/Fri.

SlightlyMadSweden · 17/09/2007 23:48

That should be Thurs Fri pm off (not all day)

Jas · 18/09/2007 06:52

Day 25
