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.

Hi everyone!

No i got it from the chemist round the corner - was a last minute panic as i'd wandered through elc (we only have a small one) in town and it was a bunfight and i really have no clue about 5 yr old girls. Saw some fairy wings in the chemist window (ideal for other niece 1.5yrs), then saw the case.
Not sure i'll be so chilled about makeup on my 5yr girl (if i ever have one) but seeing as i know nothing about girls i can't judge!
