Come on you slatterns, get your arses in gear, I stop posting for 2 days and you all start getting lazy................

[goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh]

didn't see a single bump of a slattersn thread in the 2 days I've lurked. So here we are - a brand new slatterns thread to take us over to the new year (where I think we can safely say that one of our NY Resolution won't be keeping teh house tidy at all times )

I can officialy say that:

Paper lists of things to do are SHIT. They don't work, they don't tell you how well you're doing when you update to say what you've done, they get lost under the stuff still to be sorted, and they don't give you other unrelated banter while you're having a rest from it all

So - with that in mind.

Tonight (and I use the word quite loosely as I've slept the last 2 nights so suspect there will be little sleep to be found tonight) I need to:

• Get my washing done
• Dry it
• Iron it all (it's taking over the dining room!)
• Tidy and hoover the lounge
• Clean kitchen worktops
• Empty kitchen bins
• Put dishwasher on

May add more stuff later as I realise it needs doing.

Morning all - Happy monday & start of a new week

• laundry last load in
• remove stuff from our room to reclaim it and find new homes for it (or get rid....) more done
• tidy spare room started
• get rid of lots of stuff we've cleared out to freecycle/charity shop/rubbish tip started
• ebay lots of stuff, currently in a big box
• spend some time figuring out new hard drive thing for laptop
• get back on track with weight loss... doing
• go to post office at some point to post slippers to sister
• complain to cat sitter/her mum as cats had no food when we came back
• charge mobile & check for messages (can't do it in the car either, fussy phone. will have to get DH to bring home the spare charger he has in the office).
• thank you notes re DCs presents, oops

• get boys things ready for nursery started
• get my things/handbag ready for work started
• breakfast for all ds1 & I done
• everyone dressed me done
• boys to nursery
• me to work
• resist junk food while at work & across road from a sweet shop!

I have made lunch and tidied up after, I have washed DD3s face after she got her hands on finger paints and covered her face and hands quite beautifully in them. Still some green in her hair but hopefully will wash out later.
Went and got some cards for Dhs birthday. Have to figure out with DC who is giving him what from the cheap and cheerful pressies I bought!
Have to make dinner for eldest 3 dc especially DS as we live next to his secondary school and we are making him encouraging him to go back for a homework/after school study club as his xmas results were ok but far below his capabilities
