-put more washing away
-tidy and dust front room(really dont think that'll happen today!)

Bless you Cheesesarnie. It's really hard isn't it?

I have been trying (in vain) to straighten up the place now DD has gone back to school but it is a slow and painful process and I'm managing to only get very little done thanks to fussy DS.

So far though I have:

• Washed up, dried and put away
• washed and sterilised bottles
• done 2 loads of washing
• tidied quickly around the bathroom
• cleared the mountain from DD's bedroom floor (the floor looks great, the bed has said mountain piled on top of it)
• phoned the hairdressers re my mum's surprise appointment for her 50th birthday this weekend
• booked DS in for his final set of jabs
• found my bank card

DS has now been plonked in front of CBeebies whilst I try and get on with stuff. I have a friend coming round later and I don't want her to think I live in a hovel.

Fortunately, DH is collecting DD from school today so that is an hour long trip I don't have to negotiate into my day.

How are you getting on?

i'm avoiding housework for the forseeable future.

i did masses on saturday, and suffering with a bad back now

i've taken the day off work & not yet dressed

good luck, when you've done, if you could just pop round to mine...

twoluvlykids-poor you!but ummmm no i'll pass thanks.well ive put on another load of washing and folded up a load that came out of dryer.i just keep falling on computer.i might have to switch of to get other things done.

maybe i should have a daily-i cant go on mn until ive done this ,this and this list!

That would be a really good idea. My excuse is that I was listening to itunes through the pc and therefore have to have it on . Plus I was looking up the number of the hairdressers and my finger slipped on the tab marked MN .

I really am off to get on now before DS wants to bed fed again . DD has a friend coming after school for tea (hence my friend coming later after work) so the bedroom needs to be in some kind of order so I can chuck them both in there whilst I make the dinner.

Fun, fun, fun...
