Welcome addicted

Ali is on a mission today, and i have lots to do, so sometimes we tell each other to go and do one job then come back and it can help motivate you.

So, for you....Get showered and dressed then come back and report and state which job you will do next (does that make sense?)

Can I have coffee too, please? dd2 has woke up the last 2 nights at 2 to go to toilet, will have to keep better eye on night time drinks!!

JKS good luck with nanny

waves to everyone else, we need to start thinking of a new tred title soon as the last one caught us out

Anyway I really need a good shake, stood and did loads of ironing yesterday, need to put it away and still loads to sort

TO DO

load dishwasher

load washing machine

Hello all! Is it OK if I join in? I'm a SAHM to two DC: DS 4 months and DD 22 months. My skirting is fine (apart from on the stairs) but I've just had to give the cleaner notice so I'm looking for a new way of organising my housework. I'm working on a Master Plan but it'll be a while before it's sorted!

So...

Ummm, plenty more but I'll add later if I get all this done. DS is having a velcro phase so there's no knowing how the day will go
