    Chores for today- want to join me?

    Well my house is a disaster zone, DH just wonders around dropping things as he goes and walking mud in etc. Not that its just him of course but far easier to blame him
    So here is my list of chores to do today:
    - clean toilet DONE
    - clean bathroom DONE
    - fold a massive pile of washing that is living on the dining room table
    - make bed DONE
    - vaccuum and dust bedroom DONE
    - vaccuum and dust loungeroom
    - mop the tiles
    Hmmm I think thats ambitious enough.
    Anyone want to join me in a cleaning frenzy? List your chores for today and lets clean up!

    Joeve - When my DH (boyfriend) at the time first moved in with me he would do the same thing. After nagging and nagging and it not getting through I used to pick up everything he dropped and chuck itout the back door where I would leave it. If he wanted anything he had to pick it up and if it was clothes he had to wash them before they were allowd back in the house.

    He used to rant and rave but I kept doing it until he started putting things away after himself.

    So far, I've done 2 loads of washing, cleaned the kitchen, been grocery shopping and cooked a friend (who has really bad m/s) 2 meals. I'm about to head over to her place to give her the food and have lunch with my mum.
    I still have to clean the floors. Meh, tomorrow maybe

    Today I have...

    Swept, vacuumed and mopped all floors.
    Washed 4 loads of washing and it's currently drying.
    Folded and put away one load of washing.
    Washed the dishes and put the dry ones away.
    Made beds (which I might add I RARELY do hehe)
    And a general tidy of the house.

    Now I'm sitting back and enjoying the peace while Tristan sleeps and Brendan is at day care

    Unfortunately I have to slow up but my beautiful DD has taken over (love you) I managed to start cleaning the dunnies (just poured the produce in now got to scrub) I fed the horse and lunged her and then DD rode her (I'm not riding at present) I put all the clothes away but unfortunately found another large basket of clean clothes I forgot about so that now needs doing. I did wash up and the lounge room is clean but I haven't vacummed and I did do the shopping and now DD is putting them away.

    Going to rest for an hour and get back to it. Having some cramps which freaks the h#*# out of me so hope that passes and I'll be back to it with the dunnies and vacuuming.

    Joeve your getting through your list well. I'll go try update mine.
