simpson - i have been feeling so smug as i finished all washing, drying, folding, ironing & putting away by bedtime last night but...it all starts again straight away and i did start thinking 'what's the point?'
ho hum

and totally forgot to get balloons today.
can either struggle to get to party shop tomorrow (far away) or get cheaper plainer ones from ASDA maybe on way back from orchestra tomorrow night? DS2 will mostly sleep through any DS1-free time so can't get out then.

useless!

Evening all
Well, work seems to have calmed down a bit, I have managed to leave on time for two consecutive work days, so I thought I'd have a go at getting some evening housework done for a change . The house won't know whats happened .

Okay, a complete list of (almost) everything that needs doing:

Take ds to breakfast club, collect from afterschool DONE
Go to work DONE
Feed ds and me - eating now
Bath ds

Keep living room tidy - yay still tidy
Keep ds room tidy - yay still tidy
Keep hall, stairs, landing tidy - yay still tidy
Keep computer desk tidy - yay still tidy
(Although we have been out of the house all day, so I'd be worried if they were a big mess)

Tidy kitchen
Do dishes
Keep on top of washing - working on it, 2nd load of day nearly finished
Tidy dining room:
a) sort boxes on floor
b) rediscover table
c) sort and get rid of recycling
d) shred stuff that needs shredding
e) sort out bills box
f) tidy and clean any other mess not mentioned above
Fold and put away clean clothes - started
Rediscover play-room floor
Tidy my bedroom
Sort out bookshelves!!!

And if it gets to the point when all of these say yay, then I may even consider sorting out clothes, tidying out cupboards and clearing out dumping grounds. Maybe, one day

oh I finally managed to sleep about 4am, I used to be a nightowl, but since I've been sleeping again not quite so easily. I'm knackered this morning and have got LOADS to do in the next hour or so.

Last night I did get the dishwasher on and do the flier. So in the next 1hr and 20 minutes I need to

• Get DS1 and 2 out of the front door
• Change and dress DS3
• Have a shower
• Dry my hair and get dressed
• Find my church keys (or pop to vicarage and borrow hers )
• Photocopy the fliers
• If I don't call on the vicar for the keys then ring her
• Put load of washing on
• Empty dishwasher DONE (courtesty of the DS's)

Lol Alice
I have to go straight to Sing & Sign after pre-sch and last week felt all the others knew each other and were all NOT scruffy at all.
Feel much better now - though they will still all know each other, it's mad paranoia creeping in.....
