Been busy
Shall now list accomplishments, Jax-style, in order to pat myself on the back. :)
- Cleared off kitchen counters (and I mean everything), scrubbed them down and only put the bare essentials back. Binned the junk
- Emptied the black-hole cupboard next to the cooker, binned 30%, gave 30% away and put the rest back neatly
- Emptied 2 huge 'moving' boxes and four slightly smaller ones out of the garage; contents mostly binned (gotta love that skip), a few put into a pile to eBay, the rest condensed into one small box (!)
- Fed, bathed, storied and tucked kids into bed, all within the space of an hour
- Stripped and made up bed
- Emptied tumble dryer (bloody weather), put wet nappies onto radiator, set washing machine going again
- Folded clean laundry, put clean folded laundry away, brought down basketful ready to go in when current wash clean
- Washed up and tidied clean kitchen
The first three were accomplished with the aid of Sarah (huge great big thank you!) who made tea, chased kids and caught the steady stream of things I threw at her and filed them neatly into 'bin', 'eBay' and 'house' catagories.
And, having had so much to blog about, I've spent the last half hour (folding laundry) composing today's blog entry in my head. Filled it with witty, deadpan one liners and scintillating paragraphs of inestimable intelligence.
Then promptly forgot the lot when I sat down at the keyboard, and wrote this instead.

giggle.
Sounds like an excellent achievement all round, maybe the one liners will come back to you later? ;)
I thought so too! We did the same with our kitchen on Sunday (well, Steve did) and it's stayed tidy for two whole days, which is pretty good going for us!
You forgot Myf's fabulous achievement! She brought me a book and sat and read the whole thing! Kris had popped out to get pet food and came back to a reading child and transfixed smaller children. Peace!
Mimi and I had a lovely chilled, happy day. Thank you straight back!
