My housework...

[Hailstorm]

This was a huge hit at old IP so I thought I's start again...here's how it works for the newbies.

Write up a list of all the things you need to do today or the things you'd like to get done (be realistic though we are all busy mammas)
and come back here and let us all know how you go even if it is seemingly meaningless things like write shopping list, or change the kitty litter (which reminds me :blush), make phone calls, pay bills etc

There is no kinder tomorrow so I'll be back in the morning with my list of things to do for the day...I'm havin the day off :2lol (although I did do the dishes)

[moo]

[cherish]

ok- mostly got it all away.. few bits and pieces to go- not including the big basket of my clothes in my room.. why is it that I always feel like I have nothing to wear- but always have so many clothes to put away??

[jodiemiller]

I failed to fold more than a teeny tiny pile. Couldn't be stuffed!

[moo]

I folded a clothesline full as I took it off today!!! almost unheard of!!

Otherwise, have been head down bum up catching up some admin bizzo for work........a rather productive day overall tho...

[michelle_j_r]

i've been in a bit of a house blitz the last couple of days. Mostly re-arranging rather than cleaning.... i am finally getting rid of the piles of things that have either gathered at some point due to lack of storage space to put elsewhere, or things that have never really been given a home when i moved in so have just had more things piled on top.

Want to hear something rather gross and totally slack? ..... i bought this house almost 10months ago and i have not once cleaned the windows. I can feel spring cleaning coming on.

I'm really pleased that I managed to order a piece of steel to finish off our fireplace. I think it has been installed in the lounge room two years now, without this final piece! I'm having a Tupperware party on wednesday and that was the motivating factor for me. I got lucky, really. The guy at the steel place said they don't have what I wanted, but they could order it today, have it arrive tomorrow and have it ready for me to pick up first thing wednesday morning-just before the party!

Tomorrow I need to:
bake
dust, vacuum and rearrange lounge room
clean bathroom

[milkymumma]

Bake bread
Make DP wash the dishes
Tackle Mt Foldmore
Vacuum lounge

[boy wrangler]

Two loads of washing to wash
Three loads of washing to put away
Bread
Floors
Change sheets to wash them tomorrow
Tidy bomb of a dining table (we're at the pile-everything-down-one-end stage just so we can eat!)
Pack another box

[kateking]

Grotty skirting boards
Kitchen floor feral

My office absolute bloody nightmare
