SAHM's...what have you actually done today?

[PregnantGrrrl]

Despite the fact that my house never seems to look really clean or tidy, i am amazed at how much i have got done already today.

• Took DS to doctors/chemists
• Emptied dishwasher
• Made us both lunch, then picked DS's up from the floor
• re-filled dishwasher
• Put washing on line
• Washed more clothes
• Picked up CDs and DVDs after DS (again!)
• Picked up toys (again!)
• Made some bottles up and not forgetting, found time to potter on the net.

cruisemum1, exercise is for evenings

We have an elliptical and multigym in the conservatory and between 8 and 9 dh and I exercise together as we're both fatties! But I get bored doing more than 20 mins on the elliptical so I bought the rebounder for variety.

Do I seem busy or was it sarcastic?! I can't tell online I certainly thought I was less busy than everyone doing housework!

Thank god I am at work

All that sounds so tiring!

Got DS and myself dressed!
Got breakfast for DS and did some dishes
Stripped our bed and put bed linen in wash
Took DS to mums and toddlers
Emailed a few people
Made lunch for DS and put him to bed
Mnetted...

I had PLANNED to also have made some necessary phone calls, tidied and cleaned kitchen and done a wee bit of ironing by now...time to get off the computer.

*Took ds to Nursery
*Went to my friends for a cup of tea with dd. She plays with her dd.
*Collected ds and a friend from nursery and took them to another friend for lunch. I stayed too.
*Took dd home to bed for a nap
*Done a load of washing

Later I will

*Hang out washing
*Make tea. 2 separate things for my 2 and the (fussy) mindee
*Collect ds from the friends house
*Take ds to Football
*Collect mindee and his friend from Cricket
*Empty dishwasher

And after the lo's are in bed I'll coook dh and my dinner and sit down!

Unfortunately, I have had to do most of that (although only have 1 dd of 10 mths) AND have got to go to work tonight for 12 hrs .....

So far I have done

breakfast x4
supervised dds getting ready for school/listened to reading
school run x 2
bank
tescos
library
cooked spag bol x6 to go in freezer/eat tonight
defrosted freezer
been in loft to store assorted junk
clean etc in kitchen
washing x 3
sorting/dryin/putting away of more washing
all between mumsnetting, nappy changing, cuddling and playing with ds.

I have lots more cleaning and cooking to do today, plus two school runs (why can my children not do after school clubs on the same day, I wonder?)

am a tad at the thread title tbh

"actually done" ????

I know what you mean, Tutter, but I guess it's just one of those phrases that doesn't translate well in writing. It obviously wasn't meant "like that".
Am exhausted reading about what everyone else has been up to, although admittedly I have to go home and do most of it later. Oh well, c'est la vie, it could be worse. MN often makes me feel very lucky indeed.

Is this Xenia bait or what???

Oh, I don't think it was meant in "that" way, was it? (perhaps I'm being dense . The OP's been quite busy, IMO.
