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!

Good morning slatterns
I am trying to think up titles but am so crap, the only one i can think of is one i think has been done before! Slatterns are doing for themselves? or lists for the slatternous(sp) and generally disorganised/ or... thats me i'm afraid - very unimaginative. Where's Trillian when you need her?
Everyone up done
Everyone breakfast done
Everyone dressed erm...
Hang up all clothes from the machine over the bath - they are sopping as have had to empty the machine by hand and rinse clothes in the bath - minging done
Tidy living room
tidy hall (i'm embarassed to open my front door in case anyone sees in!) started need DH to put some stuff in the loft
Pop to waitrose for a couple of bits that i forgot
Lunch
Sort out top of tv unit done
Dust telly done
Empty bins
Get horses field completely cleared and move to new field
Ride (if chance)
Cook Gammon joint mmmmm

I think it is slatternly not slatternous

Hi everyone

I've got no ideas for a new thread title, sorry. I'm a bit rubbish at that kind of thing

Here's my list for today:

Tidy living room
Clean kitchen
Hoover downstairs
Mop kitchen floor
Wash/sterilise bottles
Run dishwasher
Empty dishwasher
Dry laundry
Wash DH's work clothes
Go to shops
Start cooking stew
Make bed
Put away clean clothes
Empty mop bucket and change head on mop
Take out rubbish/recycling

Ohhh Wasting I come from Rotherham and we used to call Meadowhall 'Meadowhell' or 'Meadow-warm' as it's too warm. I could say more as I even worked in the food court for a bit.

No list as off out for lunch with the in laws.

See ya.

Hi evyone, just catching up on the weekend's posts.

Hope you had a nice time on Saturday alice (will revise if it turns out that something dramatic happened - oh yes and ignore the snobs, that sort of behaviour just shows how very wrong they are in thinkng they are better than you)

Sorry about your DS JKS.

Are you enjoying your new bed CWWM?

Well done in continuing with the food-coloured wall-painting Plum! Malt chocolate sounds good but not so sure about muddle puddle.

Honey-gathering sounds exciting HalfMum

Glad your nan's birthday do wet well Muppets, but sad that you're still in pain.

I would rather see Wolverine than Hanna Montana if there's a vote going.

FAQ is in charge of the thread y'know, I only did this one title (because I only joined in the previous one).

Hello .

JKS she is a student in her last year and still attached to the usual MW but she has taken over my care and might be coming with me when I have the baby . She does seem nice but I have only chatted to her before when the other MW is with us .

TA the new bed is nice although dd4 who used to hate getting in with us has now arrived at the side of our bed at 4am twice now and snuggled up !.

Alice @ gammon.

Hope everyone else is ok .

Argh - IE done some kind of update and my MN is all different....

Muppets - research is interesting and depressing in equal measure.
have contacted a charity about getting a sleep alarm which sounds v interesting. (not sure if we will qualify but want to find out more about the alarm anyway)

Not even seen any absences today so it all feels somewhat unreal.

DP has gone out on cycle ride to scout out the route to work (he thinks he is getting fat now he drives to work in stead of cycling, the diffierence is it's now 8 miles instead of 2 so cycling would be pretty hardcore)

I should probably do the big pile of washing up that is sat by the sink.

Now my MN has gone back to normal, weird.

TA - my advice would be, encourage as much as you can. once the weight is on, it's v hard to shift! (not sure my DH would really appreciate me saying anyting about his weight...)

Alarm man was very convincing. think we will get it asap.

I am very encouraging, don't worry. Trying to be tactful at the same time is difficult. How do you say 'yes, good, you should do more exercise' without sounding like you're saying 'actually you have got a bit porky'?

He's not porky at all by the way, just has a slight belly because that's where the beer goes.

Ideas for new thread title. Not sure of all that have gone before...
The Slattern's support group

HMHB - that sll sounds v frustrating!

TA - it is a hard one, and i would have gone into a major huff if he'd ever commented on my weight but really, my dh does need to lose some and he knows it but he has no self-control where food (& drink) come in.
I know i can do it, as i have done the last 9months, but he just can't seem to control himself!

Right then, I seriously need to get my life in order today so I am leaping in - hope nobody minds? (I am aware I am being a bit of a flakey slattern ) Is everyone well? I havn't time to read through the last two full threads that I have missed! Anyway, here goes...

Wash Dog Bedding
Wash Clothes
Find Dog vaccination Card
Sweep through downstairs
Wash through downstairs
Clear kitchen sides
Bring washing down from upstairs
Tidy bathroom
Buy cat food
Tidy utility
Clear dining table
Put washing away
Unload and reload dishwasher
Quick Hoover upstairs

Right, that ought to keep me busy enough for a while! I just have to hope the washing machine holds out for long enough!

I think I need to dig out my very smart daily lists I had before because I have managed to backslide - just a smidge
