Get up - done
Remain in pjs - doing
Wash baby sick out of hair
Put dishwasher on
Have lunch
DS lunch
Take chicken out of freezer for dinner
Dust downstairs - done
Clean loo and sink in bathroom
Do Wiifit - must do just 10/15 mins of the yoga, it WILL make me feel better!

I must add quick hoover downstairs, and also fold and put away all the clean washing, although that will involve sorting out the airing cupboard - nightmare.
