Hi all - was very good over the weekend, did most of the things on my list and built a wardrobe with DH yesterday and started moving DS2's things in with DS1 ready for our new arrival in approx 8 weeks!

But today I have been bad and have mainly been eating and relaxing!

Panicking now as playdates and their parents coming tomorrow and the house is erm..not at its best, kids want to bake too for their friends too, so.......

To do today:

DS's up, dressed, washed, breakfast done
Supermarket shopping done
Take DS's for half hour on park done
Ds's and my lunch done
Fold up dry washing
Make 'marshmallow toffee cakes' with DS's
Generally tidy up every room
Vacuum every room
Mop lounge
Wipe over inside windows (been meaning to do for a week)
Pull some weeds up from outside
Make beds
Wipe over surfaces in kitchen and bathroom
Dust and polish lounge surfaces
Make dinner
Iron
DS's to bed
Pay bills online (probably overdue now!)
Do an hour of 'office' work

Wish me luck!!
