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.

Alice - glad you had a good day

• DS dressed
• pack the boys off for a couple hours
• Clean the kitchen trolley (this is my big job of the day, it's been in the garage for nearly a year)

Ahh CWWM, Welcome Lola Skye, congratulations, are we going to have a birth story?

Relax and take it easy & enjoy remember you don't get this time back
dd1 was 6.11 such alovely wee size you forget how small they are!

My SIL has 5 weeks to go,I'm getting ever so broody!

Hi guys! Can I please join you? I have 2 children, one is 17 months and the other is 5 weeks. Did so well getting house sorted while DH was off for paternity (He took extra holiday too) but he went back on monday and the house is a tip again!) I have been childminding too as its been half term so extra work to do.
start on the downstairs in a min, as long as DD2 stay asleep, she is a nightmare in the mornings. DD1 is still in bed so want to get some bits done while she is asleep. DH said he would take her out to the park etc too later so hoping to get more done then too. Upstairs is a total tip. There is about a months worth of washing to put away (at 2-3 loads a day!) and stuff all over the floor! Not good! Never get a chance to go up there though as my only free time is when DD1 is in bed and then I stay well clear of upstairs as she is a light sleeper.

Anyway. Today I want to do a crisis cleaning style tidy up of the house, doing 15 mins in each room at a time and then having a break after say an hour or something. Going to try and put some real energy into it so I can class that as some excercise for the day too! Want to get all of downstairs done today at least, if I get upstairs too that would be a bonus!

Sorry for the big rambling post .

Good morning Slatterns
