MMJ If only you could see my house LOL it is FAR from being lovely and clean!
My house tends to be lovely and clean by about 3 oclock in the afternoon....only to have all the kids come back from school, DH come in from work with boots/overalls/books/papers/keys/phones/wallets/various tools/ and then supper time which causes more havoc and by the morning I wonder why on earth I bother!

But I guess, if I didn't bother, then things would be a million times worse than they are! and I can generally get back on top of things quite quickly.

Dd and I are relaxing at home, dh and ds have gone for a walk...no idea how long they'll be.

Dd swam a length of the pool today so has earned her reward of a box of fudge (her choice - she'll sink next time she tries to swim lol!)
I also took her to the hotel spa to get her nails done then to the resturant for lunch but it was too costly for us (£8 for a sandwich!) we could only afford a coke each and a bowl of chips to share Still, we had some nice mother daughter time so it was fun

The rain has stopped so we're off to Port Isaac soon for a potter round the harbour/shops and to buy the fudge for dd

BiancaCastafiore · 21/06/2008 14:42

Yummy, going to have supper from here

Off out now as dh and ds have come home.

littlemissloopy · 21/06/2008 14:51

Well done to your DD Bianca
And yummy at the fish and chips!

I'm struggling with my list now.....migh leave it until tomorrow.
I'm watching TV with DD2 and eating caramel digestives!

dylsmum1998 · 21/06/2008 15:18

your dd is doing great bianca she must be so chuffed with herself

i've been very good i cuddled dd for a few mins then laid her on the sofa and did all my ironing. its all put away. i now have an empty dirty wAsh basket and an empty ironing basket
but i have a full clothes horse of wet washing so theres more ironing in the future i dont actually mind the ironing whilst i'm doing it, the thought of it is what kills me
think while dd is still sleeping i'm going to go and wash the floors

littlemissloopy · 21/06/2008 15:35

I'm the same dyls I HATE the thought of ironing...and I HATE the thought of putting clean clothes away....so it all ends up piled high and looks a complete mess.....until I actually can't stand it anymore and HAVE to do it. Then I do it and wonder what all the fuss was about

Clean downstairs loo and upstairs bathroom
Tidy computer table done
Put washing away done
Ironing haven't done but it is all sorted and ready to do
Tidy spare room and kids room
Vac stairs and hall and landing done
Change beds
Bi-carb mattresses (did you see that my bi-carb tip made tip of the day the other day )

Just the beds and bathrooms left to do....might leave those for tomorrow now.
I've made the beds, so one more night in them won't matter.

OP posts:
dylsmum1998 · 21/06/2008 15:37

ok thats that done- i dont have much housework to do what have i stopped seeing?
i sorted out dd's pop up house that has been in corner of the room full of crap toys for months and made that all tidy this morning. even ds's room looks quite good.
dd is still asleep. she never sleeps more than 30mins normally and fell asleep in car today at about 12.30. she must be shattered to still be asleep now. think i'm gonna go lie down with a book for a bit- usually a cue for dc to wake up

dylsmum1998 · 21/06/2008 15:39

x posts loopy
glad i'm not the only one like that with ironing.
i missed your top tip the other day.
forgive ignorance but what do you do with bicarb and mattress's?

dylsmum1998 · 21/06/2008 15:41

just found it on the tips section. thats a good idea will try that next time i do the beds
