Well yesterday's list got completed
 Unfortunatly I couldn't get my shopping delivered today so it's coming tomorrow instead. Today I'm going to have an easy day. I have to go up the school and help with swimming. I have my load of washing in the machine. Other than that I plan on doing a little in my room, wipe the bathroom round and lots of cross stitch

Enjoy your 'easy day'

Well my easy day became a lot easier when I didn't do the bathroom or bedroom
I got a little carried away doing some preperation for some cross stitch cards I'm hoping to do in time for christmas and before I knew it it was time to go and pick up DD from school. Dinner has been done but washing up is still waiting to be done so once DD is in bed I will get that done but I'm too tired to do much more, other than cross stitch that is Well hopefully I'll get something done tomorrow. I've got my food delivery coming between 11 and 1 so I'll try and use the time before that to do house stuff then I can cross stitch all afternoon

Well I didn't do the washing up in the end last night or any cross stitch. By the time DD was in bed I really didn;t feel like doing anything other than starting at the TV, so that's what I did.
Today, so far, has been a little more eventful. Most of the washing up is now done, DD is at school with her lunch which I made this morning. Front room isn;t looking too bad, a few bits of clutter kicking around but shouldn't take me too long to sort that out. Still need to load the washing machine, hoover, do something in my room and put some clothes away. I gave the bathroom a quick wipe round this morning so that's done at least. I have my shopping coming today so I would like to wipe the fridge out, shouldn't take long as I did it a couple of weeks ago just before my last shop got delivered. Oh, and I need to make chilli for tonight. So the list for today is: Finish washing up and tidying kitchen Clean out fridge Hoover Room rescue front room Load washing machine Hang washing My room Put away some clothes Make chilli Time to crack on -------------------- Keeping me on track

Good on you for just doing nothing. i am terrible for thinking I am chilling out in front of the TV but tend to be doing other things at the same time so a proper 'staring at the TV' night is so relaxing isn't it?
Hope you have a good day today -------------------- |

It was very relaxing to just watch tv. Kinda wish I had done some cross stitch as well.
Well it's just coming up to 12pm, my shopping has been delivered and is all put away I haven't got enough for a load of washing so won't be doing a load today, so nice to be able to say that once in a while So my list looks like this now Clean out fridge Hoover Room rescue front room Load washing machine Hang washing My room Put away some clothes Make chilli I was having a tea break when I got my message saying the shopping was going to be here within the next 45 mins so rather than getting more of the list done I've been sat winding thread onto bobbins ready to make the xmas cards. 7 colours down, only 8 more to go. Going to get a few more done, then have some lunch and start the chilli ready for dinner. Then a break with some more winding followed by my room and putting some clothes away. Then I can sit with my cross stitch until it's time to get DD doing whatever needs doing. -------------------- Keeping me on track

Clean out fridge Hoover Room rescue front room Load washing machine Hang washing My room Put away some clothes So nearly all complete today, I'm sure I'll get some clothes put away later. I got a phone call from DD's school at 2.20 asking if I could go and pick her up as she was complaining of an earache and very upset. So off I rushed and booked her a doctor's appointment for 5.25, I was only there with her two weeks ago as she had an ear infection so thought it best to get her seen asap. She seems alot better now after some calprofen and she still want's to go to the halloween disco at school tonight. She'll have to miss a bit of it due to the doctors but we'll see how it all goes. Anyway I finished winding all the threads, did the last two after getting DD home, she thought it was great to watch I'm going to try and make a start on one of the designs later, think I know which one I want to do first. Right well I'm going to make DD a quick small dinner of scrambled agg and toast as I'm sure she'll go to this disco and eat crap Then get her dressed up for the party before heading of for the docs and stuff.

Well DD has got an ear infection again and is on another course of anitbiotics. She went to her disco still as she felt up to it. Had a bit of a bad night with her, up a lot due to the pain. She's not going to school today as she doesn't feel up to it and lost a lot of sleep so probably for the best. Hopefully she'll be ok to go tomorrow. So today we're going to have a pyjama day, go nowhere and just rest. Probably best for both of us really
I didn't get round to starting my cross stitch last night. By the time I'd got DD to bed, had our dinner and dealt with her again with the pain it was too late to start so that's what my day is going to consist of today I do need to do a load of laundry today, there is enough so I will get one done, the kitchen needs tidying but I think I can get away with just doing those couple of things today.

Think the antibiotics are starting to do their job, she seems a lot more with it now. Pyjama day is going good so far, lots of watching tv and doing cross stitch
Might even get one design stitched by tonight if I keep it up. Have done most of the kitchen, now just need to hang the washing that's just finished, but gona finish my cuppa first.

DD is feeling lots better today so she's gone to school. Think I'm going to have an easy day today. Kitchen is done, been out and got the few bits that I needed to and as I look around it doesn't look too bad in here. Going to sit and get lots of cross stitch done again today, didn't quite get one finished yesterday but should be able to finish it today and start the next one. Not adding the beads and bits until I'm ready to make the cards up, just want to get the designs done first. Also want to make a todo list for the weekend, lots of jobs I want to do but need my OH to give me a hand with them.
Right time to stitch

Well I got loads of cross stitch done yesterday. Finished the first one and the second
Think I'm going to take a break from the xmas stuff today and go back the the fairy I've been working on. Didn't get a list written but hopfully will get some bits sorted over the weekend. I find it very hard to get things done when my Oh is around. I guess it's stinkin' thinkin', if he's not doing anything then why should I. I'm sure we all know that one. So here my list of things that have to be done today no matter what: Clean and tidy kitchen Wash bedding One load washing of clothes Hoover 5 min rescue in bathroom Put away some of our clean clothes Lunch - sandwiches Dinner - burritos Now to enjoy my cuppa before starting to tackle that list, plus get some cross stitch done, I've really got the bug again atm

Wash bedding One load washing of clothes 5 min rescue in bathroom Put away some of our clean clothes Dinner - burritos Yesterday didn't go to plan really. Spent loads of time doing cross stitch and even had an hours nap in the afternoon. So today I really must get some stuff done otherwise OH will have no work clothes and DD no school clothes. So today's list: Load washing machine - clothes Hang washing Load washing machine - bedding Hand bedding Clean and tidy kitchen 5 min room rescue bathroom 5 min room rescue bedroom Tidy DD's room 10 min put away our clothes Lunch - ? Dinner - garlic lime chicken, mash, broccoli Prep chicken for dinner Think that should pull this place into line. So long as there's lots of tea breaks and cross stitch with them I'll be fine. Nearly got the background done on the fairy so I can start the outline of her. Oh my mum did mention something about maybe popping over today, best get as much done as possible before lunch just incase. Well DD has just walked in so I guess I best get up and do breakfast, did I forget to mention I was sat in bed with the laptop

Hang washing Load washing machine - bedding Hand bedding 5 min room rescue bathroom 5 min room rescue bedroom 10 min put away our clothes Lunch - ? Dinner - garlic lime chicken, mash, broccoli Prep chicken for dinner Also had breakfast and my morning cuppa and done a little cross stitch between each job. DD's bed is changed, just waiting for OH to get up so I can strip ours. Need to find our second set of sheets so I don;t need to worry about getting it dry by tonight, plus SOme of the OH's work clothes were not in the washing basket so need to make sure they are done, probably stick them in with DD's bedding then do ours after along with a towel or two. Think I might get the chicken prepared now before OH gets up and in the kitchen under my feet. After that onto bathroom and bedroom. -------------------- Keeping me on track

Well dispite not keeping my self accountable here I have been keeping up with things pretty well. Taking lots of breaks, doing my cross stitch as well as keeping a house that's fairly presentable, I never thought it was possible. Have a bit of catching up to do today as DD and I went to my mum's on friday for the night and didn't get back till 6ish last night. Don't think it will take me much more than an hour though to pull things together. I will get round to that it a little while thoug, first I have some cross stitch I want to get started on
