The 'things to do today' list-makers, slatternly or otherwise - part (&!$(*&^%$$

[TrillianAstra]

New thead. I am so organised

Bet I cross-thread with FAQ doing the same!

I have ignored my list and decided since I hadn't done a practice run of chocolate cake for dd1s cake I should do that so, I'm just waiting on it cooling to see if it was a success (smells good anyway)

Flame how are doing without your pills?

Good afternoon slatterns
All of us are completely knackered today. DD and i have had a busy week and she is teething (again!) Dh was on call last night so had to go out at 9pm, 12am and 5am and the 5am one woke all of us up and then dd decided to get up at 6.30. It doesn't sound that bad but you know how some nights you are just desperate for a good nights sleep.
Anyway, today i have done:
Put washload on
Dried washing
Done a bit of gardening
Been to the park
Waitrose shop
Fell asleep on the sofa
Fed and skipped out horses
Sorted out all recipe cards into new folder
Dealt with a grumpy toddler all day

And now Dh is cooking roast chicken mmmm...

Forgot to add, look on housetohome website to give me inspiration for housework (it really works )

JKS i didn't realise you have had trouble sleeping gin rescue remedy is a good idea

Alice - have been trying wine, purely medicinal you understand...not working yet though!

of course the sun has come out now i've put the tumble dryer on - dilemma

Weekend chat tha I missed - hope those of you who had plans for Friday night enjoyed themselves - CWWM thanks for the warning on The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Muppets - sorry you've not been well, hope the pills have kicked in by now

CWWM - is it nearly time for a baby?

for your friend HalfMum

Plum - practice chocolate cake sounds like a wonderful idea!

Flame - you sound very dramatic now you are a storm, like you can touch the wind that moves the sun and call fire. (yep, I've been reading my fantasy books again)

Hold on alice - why do you need inspiration for housework? If it's not jumping in your face saying 'clean me, tidy me' then it doesn't really need doing, right?
