Hi dp has taken dc's out so i'm on a mission, although I have no hot water or heating, i'm still in my dressing gown waiting for the plumber to come!

Right in the meantime I am going to clean the house from top to bottom and do the food shopping (if the plumber comes and i can have a bath in time to go!!!!)
I've stripped the beds and most of the washing is done I cleaned the bathroom yesterday and the kitchen is fairly tidy and clean already.

So it's just a case of.........
wiping everything down
empty dishwasher
hoovering everywhere
sorting the toys
putting all the clean washing away
re-making the beds once its all washed and dried
clean the fridge out
Clean the leather sofa
sort under the stairs
Could also do with washing mine and dd2's coat and mine also needs the pocket sewing

What do you need to do and will you join me??

Hamster wheel is just what I was thinking!

I climbed on the counter to see on top of the cupboards and they are all dusty. Yuk. Also found another job for DH to do and really the house is full of little jobs that shouldn't take that long to do but never get done.

I have just cleaned the sink, are washing DS1's trainers to see if they come clean enough to pass on and have swept the floor. Still loads to do.
