[sagacious]

Morning all !

Back later to bore you all with a list ...

just popping in to say hello all feeling lousy so no flying done this week, house is a pigsty again

Puppydog I was thinking exactly the same thing!
I'd become a cleaner for £65 per week too!

Just googled for some cleaners prices. £8.99 per hour on average!

Well I have tidied the house, wasn't a great deal to do really as DH has kept on top of it so well.
Fingers crossed as there is no sickness yet! (I do hope they have passed through now!)
Off to get the kids shortly.

hi Scatty.
your little one will get there in her own time, it took a while for my son.

DD is doing well, although no extra washing as she thinks no nappy= no clothes, at all. she strips off. i put knickers on her when we went to put rubbish out and when we got back she shout wee as she was just letting go, and refused to put anymore on afterwards lol.

puppy What do you get for £65 a week?

Well I have:
Get dressed done
Eat breakfast done
Packed lunchdone
School rundone
Unload d/w done
Re load d/w done
Dark load washing on done
Put rubbish out done

Soft play centre for coffee and chat done

Drop off dd at nursery done
Back home (to finish ironing) ...errrr not yet

School run done
Sorted out food cupboards cleaned and culled done

Am in need of tea

Have looked at that boots diet site .. am tempted ...

hello haven't done any fllying today ma has vacuemed but i wan tto sort out some cubords how does the 15 minute thing work

For £65 they do basic clean of the whole house and do detailed cleaning of 2 rooms - it's only 3 bedrooms so no mansion. No window cleaning or ironing, just the basic stuff that you'd expect like dusting, hoovering, cleaning kitchen and bathroom. I saw her write £65 down and assumed that was per month

thats alot thats our food bugdet for a week lol maybe i won't be getting a cleaner to come and do our bathroom

Agh, school have just rung with a cancellation of a parents eve slot for today (now - 4.30) so we have to get ourselves ready and go in. We were due to go in tomorrow but today is better for us tbh so i couldn't really say no. Just waiting for dh to get home and trying to calm all my usual anxieties...

Dd will have to have a picnic tea at the school as we'll have to rush her to Rainbows at 5.15.

Very tired today so although I started in the spare room I've really just been moving stuff about in a fairly meaningless fashion....must try harder to stay motivated!

Hope everyone's OK, sorry, haven't read the thread, am really just here to calm my nerves!

That is all of our food budget! It does sound alot!
My friend pays £20 for two ladies to come round for an hour. They do all the basics downstairs and sometimes upsairs as well (she has a big house, and lots of children and it is very messy. I know they would do more if it was tidy to start with.)

Deep breaths Bianca. At least you haven't got time to get yourself worked up!

Scatty - Sounds just like my dds. I found it quite depressing at the time, but no one cares now whether they were potty trained at 2, 3 or 4

can sopme1 tell me how u do the 15minute decluttering thing i need to sort ou thte cuboards

Babyjj 15 minutes decluttering
Basically just set your timer and get started. If they are big cupboards, just do one shelf at a time. Empty the shelf, clean if needed, put back the stuff you want to keep, put rubbish in a bag, recycling/charity shop/give away stuff in a bag/box, and stuff to go elsewhere in a bag/box. If you are finished quickly enoough,sart the next one. and when your 15 mins is up, go and put the stuff in bags and boxes in the right places.

I use the 15 min theory to do almost everything.Whichever room I am working in I don't leave it. (that is when you get distracted and don't finish)until my time is up, and if I can, I reset the imer for anoher 15 mins

(Most mobile phones have timers, but only discovered mine after I bought a new one for FLYing

Oh, these threads often go quiet in the evenings, so don't be surprised if you don't get more answers til tomorrow.

thanks dream

hello still haven't done any flying but i have finally sorted the babies chest of draws out so everything is in nice neat tidy folded piles lol it took me 45mins to do 5 draws but did it with the 15minute timer so it didn't feel aslong and i was only going to do one draw but got a bit carried away in a good way going to try and do his wardrobe tomoorrow not looking forward t othat cos it reminds me how many clothes he's got and he has far too many

Well done

(It all counts as FLYing btw)

Back tomorrow....time for a bit of Torchwood I think

TMH Sorry missed your message last night. meeting was cancalled! She phoned me in the morning and asked if she was suppose to visit then said she can't make it now!

Not caught up on the rest of the thread so hope all are ok.

DD1 went to school today and is fine. her teacher on the other hand, isn't! She was off today with the bug.
DD2 was fine last night. No idea what the tummy ache was.

WM is all fixed. cloth had gone between the rubber and the drum and jammed it. 3 loads of washing done so far! loads still to be done and dried!

EHM Not heard from DS1. They don't get to phone home. Missing him. It is much quieter though! No arguements with DS2!

Tis Thursday
