I am out more or less all weekend and i need to get loads done today....feeling abit overwhelmed. Actually it mean not seem like much to you! I am going to list it here so that it hopefully seems more achievable!!

give house a tidy and hoover
loads of washing to wash/dry
weeks worth of shopping, need to leave stuff for everyone for the weekend
buy two birthday presents, plus cards etc.,
go and do a house clean (approx 2 and half hrs)
Cook a curry for later
sort out clothes for me to wear at weekend(wash and dry them)
Bath and hairwash for me
Pick kids up from after school club
Post office to pay bill

Actually, think thats made me feel worse! Off to hang next load on line and put another load in machine.

Oh no! I forgot, i need to do all the ironing tonight as i won't be in until late on Sunday.......fgs!!

Have you seen my 'Please help me!' thread? I have achieved so much more than I thought I would in the last couple of days, and I am a lazy slattern. Seriously, just go for it!

Oh it's you! Didn't check poster's name before I answered. of course you've seen my thread .

Do the housework first, then get out into the fresh air and do all the shopping and outside bits.

let me know how you get on (I am having well deserved chilled out morning today tee hee )

castella · 06/03/2009 11:31

MrsMattie · 06/03/2009 20:00

How did you get on?@blossomsmine

in didn't do much today to be honest. Lounged aroudn drinking coffee with my mum and cooking

Got a fair few bits to crack on with tomorrow.

How was your day?

blossomsmine · 06/03/2009 23:16

Well, i did ok...didn't get everything done.
I gave the house a tidy and hoover
did the food shopping
did loads of washing/drying but still more left to do
Had to go to nearest town for one birthday pressie as i couldn't get it locally
but i didn't actually get the second one, will have to find time for that on Sunday morning!
I did the house clean, took longer as the owner was in which holds me up a little
Cooked the curry!
Got my weekend clothes ready
Bath and hairwash,done(the nicest job today!
Didn't do the bill at the post office though.

So not too bad i suppose!
Glad you have had a more relaxing day today mrsmattie

Thanks everyone I would kind of like to join the slatterns.....but bit worried, would i have to post everyday? Sometimes i get so disorganised i can't even bring myself to post everything i've got to do....that i then end up not doing!!!

Some people post 2-3 times a day and some post about twice a week and some very occasionally, whatever suits you

blossomsmine · 08/03/2009 22:56

Might give it a go god knows i need to!

no you don't have to post very often - whenever you get round to it.

I am (apparently) the "founder" of the slatterns on here........but having been ermm, AWOL for a few weeks.....

There's omly one ruel if you want to become a slattern - no more than 3 totally completed lists in a week or you're out. It's ok if you do a "morning" "afternoon" "evening" lists and complete 2/3 of those each day - but if you complete all of them 3 times same as complete day lists - you're out as you're not slatternly enough for us

I may meet you over there tomorrow if you like

blossomsmine · 09/03/2009 10:32

lol! FAQ! Think i saw your posts about your before and after cleaning....was that you??? If so......I am a woman in the same boat lol!!!
Thing is, i do have really really good days.....but then more bad days...... I also clean for other people, that is great...their houses are lovely....mine not so good!!!
Might pop over......
