Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

[TrillianAstra]

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Hello going to read through in a bit midwife due out any minute and don't want to start a mammoth post and lose it .

Hope everyone is ok .

Still PG and have a UTI which was causing the pains .

Couldn't update until now as internet was off all day yesterday for some reason .

JKS I can't believe how many fits your ds has had since that one outside the nursery, poor wee man well hopefully today will help good luck

MM heres the brownies they really are yum
Cocodrillo bit messy for a 2 year old plus you have to heat choc sugar and butter

MM there are 2 more recipes on here by dizzydixies white choc cheesecake and white chocolate mud pie (this one takes long time to bake) but both are scrumptious I have made them for a few family occasions now, and everyone loves them, I am now the official desert maker

Got just under 2 hours until they come and I need to tidy and clean a few neglected places.!!!

Going to list what I've done when I've done it rather than write a list.

Waves @ FAQ .

Alice sounds like you had a nice start to the morning .

JKS I am enjoying it now I am in no rush for the pain I had over the weekend to come back . Hope all goes well this afternoon .

MM can't wait to see photos . I love freecycle I got a brand new single bed a few weeks ago it had been in their spare room but never slept on and she needed to get rid I was only too happy to take it off her hands .

Throwing it down here but lovely and peaceful the Tv is babysitting DD today but she does need some chill out time after our hectic week .

FAQ I obsessed about how clean the house was before the agency came round (three times because they brought the wrong keys the first two times they tried to come ) and the agent literally walked in, glanced around to make sure we hadn't knocked any walls down and left She was here less than 2 minutes total.

Am still not doing well. Had a few spaces on airer so have done a load of woolens and hung that up, and have gone to tesco for milk and bread. Thats two dones that weren't on the original list I suppose

Ok. Am going to get motivated now! Am going to try to get rid of the tea stain and then maybe do the doors...

really - so I could be panicking about nothing??

Actually what I'm most panicking about is the fact I'm going to be telling him I'm leaving LOL (and want to suggest that perhaps the owner may like to buy my brand new - well 3 months old) fridge and freezer (matching undercounter set) off me to keep here for the next tenants - I only bought them as there was no space for my big upright fridgefreezer

Oh FAQ hope she dosen't want the Pampas Grass back

'tis ok - hadn't got round to getting someone in to remove the stump and it's already got lovely new fresh green leaves growing a good 2ft up from it

Leaving? Have things with dh progressed so far already? Wow, congratulations if so

I havent done too much this morning! . Started on DSs room this morning, pulled out the bed to find matching socks that I was missing! Have DD1 and DN at home with me today as they are both feeling 'unwell', both managing to meet me out of house and home though!

My free time has been very limited today but managed to be be effective in the time I had. Mostly keeping on top of jobs rather than sorting the real problem areas today.

But I have done

Bathroom
Cloakroom
Made beds
Hoovered downstairs
General kitchen clean
General tidy downstairs
Cleaned mirrors

Think I should set myself a target list at the beginning of the day and aim at that.
