Good luck!

I will encourage you - today I have:

cleaned the bathrooms
cleaned the kitchen
dusted living room and bedrooms
mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors
changed beds
changed towels

and am now marking before I go into work this afternoon.

So it CAN be done - just grit your teeth and power on through!

Of course, I haven't had any breakfast or a shower yet!

well it looks like I'll have to go to town now - friend bought some cheap tobacco for me and posted it on Wednesday - was hoping it would arrive this morning (as I'm totally out!) and it hasn't - just my credit card statement [urghh] - so I'm out of tobacco - may as well go and see what I can find in town now while I've just got DS3 to sort out (who is currently ripping my brand new phone book to pieces on the dining room floor )

From my list so far though I have

In Lounge/Diner

Clear the table, mantle piece, piano, and computer desk and clean them
Clean the booster chair and tray
Hoover

In Kitchen

Clear worktops
Load dishwasher (and put it on)
Put all the stuff on the floor away so that I can clean it tonight
Mop the floor

Bathroom

Put the towels away (currently on top the towel box)
Move the boxes upstairs
Empty the nappy bin (well it's just the generic bathroom bin but mostly used for wet nappies)
Clean the bath/sink/toilet
Clean the floor

Other stuff

Finish getting all my washing done one load in one left* to do
Dry it
Iron it (mountains of it already) started
Put it away
Cook dinner
Take DS2 to school (next job to do) done
Try and get to town to buy a cheap shoe rack (half the stuff over the kitchen floor is shoes blush)
Bath boys

ok haven't got much more done yet - just picked DS2 up from school and put DS3 down for a nap (hopefully - he's just been crying - and is now chattering....)

Not going to do any more washing today, it was only the bedding I was going to do - and I think I'll get my mountain of clothes sorted before I tackle that.

About to make DS2 lunch then crack on.
