was off last week and did absolutely nothing except the odd pile of washing. really took my holiday to the limit, caught up on Bones, and greys and whatever else i had recorded.

new worktop has been delivered, tiles are ordered and the daddy's booked to do all the work.

sanded down a total of 2 chairs while i was off so this weekend will defo do them all and the table and will also pick up the material to do the chairs on sat. picked that while i was off too!

Changed the name BTW - was mrsmom2be, think this is much more fitting!

I'm Fucked today girls.

Came home from work (which was the busiest day we've had in a long time) and straight to a funeral and then home & make dinner for Mr.LastRolo (who was waiting like a poor soul with the knife & fork in his hands!) and then I started into:
Cleaning and polishing the kitchen worktops
Hoovered and washed the kitchen floor
Washed and polished around the stove
Sorted and put away 4 loads of washing
Washed and cleaned the utility room & downstairs w.c
Hoovered our bedroom

Just the en-suite left to do tonight.... :zzzz:

)

Wannabe Stepford Wollie Alert!

I've read through this whole thread and have become inspired. The house is just becoming more and more untidy, my OH works full-time and I'm working part-time so I really should do more than I do.

So far I have:

Washed the dishes, the sink, the draining board etc.

I've put on a load of laundry

Emptied all the bins in the house

I only started an hour ago. So my goals for today are as follows:

Hoover/Sweep all floors
Mop kitchen
Tidy kitchen & Clean fridge
Hoover stairs
Clean bathrooms and sweep & clean the bathroom floors
Hop to the local shop and get ingredients for a nice dinner (God knows he deserves it - I've been a pain!)

Sooo.... Any Wollies fancy coming over to help? :innocent:

Ah no, seriously, any time-saving tips?

I spent all morning dusting and washing surfaces and then hoovering downstairs. Then decided to bake cupcakes and after that I fed DD and now the place looks like a bomb hit it. I just feel like crying (I'm 33 weeks pregnant so hoovering is like running a marathon!) :weep

I've done flip all today - I've put out a load of washing on the line (AMEN to good weather) and put another load on. I've hoovered the hall last night and washed it (its very streaky though :weep

) and today I've done the living room.. Gonna tackle the ensuite later - wash the floors, toilets, sinks and shower...

Kickasswife I'd be lost without good old fashioned Fairy Liquid and Cif! I loved the Cif with Bleach but they seemed to have taken it off the market. :o(
