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.

Have Kitchen and dining area done.
Have to dress dd3 as I need to go down town as I have forgotten something for the lunch.
Hopefully my visitors will be late and I can get sitting room floor swept. Maybe if I didnt spend so much time on here I would have got a lot more done

Can't do washing as there is a problem with water tank and DP has water off at mains stopcock.
Can't do drying as DP has tumbler pulled out to access water tank. Semi dry washing draped on all racks.
SO I can:
Dress DDs
Change DD3 nappy
Pack for potential trip to outlaws if tank gets fixed.
Phone swimming
Phone trains

• Change and dress DS3 DONE
• Get myself dressed DONE
• Load the dishwasher and put it on DONE
• Wipe the worktops down
• Put soup in the slow cooker
• Put load of washing on DONE
• Get it dried
• Ironing (my basket is full again
• Put it away
• Tidy in here
• Hoover
• Wash kitchen and bathroom floors
• Sort dinner
• Bath the boys

Darn internet packed up last night, so I will just repost and add to yesterday's list.
