Jobs Getting Done

I am feeling really happy today as I have been able to catch up on most of my washing.  There was quite a bit to do, although some of it still needs putting away though.  I did spend about half an hour sorting out my t-shirt draw thanks to pinterest.  I now have all my t-shirts folded and displayed in my draw so I can see all the designs without having to look through them all.  Here's the link I got from pinterest http://www.darkroomanddearly.com/2012/03/diy-organized-t-shirt-drawers.html.  I hope this help some people who need more organization.

Me and my girls have also been enjoying watching the cartoons and programmes I use to watch when I was little.  This is all thanks too CITV and there old skool weekend they have been having.  I didn't know whether they would enjoy them as they are so different to what they watch now, but my eldest really took an interest and asked lots of questions about them.  I'm sure we will watch some more tomorrow.

I have also taken my little dog for a walk, so I got some exercise done today too. But it also one of my treat day's, although I am not going to go overboard. I have one can of pop and I have had a small apple and blackberry pie. I may have a couple of squares of chocolate as well.

I'm sure I will have more to report tomorrow.

Getting There

So I woke up this morning with a plan.  I wanted to get the girls toys organized, so I wanted to get some boxes to put them all in.  I thought I would only need 4 boxes, but by now I have realized I am going to need a few more then that.  I went to the shops this morning trying to find the right size and colour of boxes I wanted.  I only came home with two in the end, so I could see if they were the right size, they were 75l boxes. I found out they were and have them filled all ready.  One now has Puzzles and games in and the other has my younger daughters Happyland toys in.  I now need boxes for the musical instruments, dolls and barbies, electronic toys and then miscellaneous.  Hopefully I will have these done by the end of the month.

My healthy eating is also going well, although I am craving pop, but I'm not giving in.  I haven't done any exercising yet, although I was helping my daughter with her Xbox kinect game Once Upon a Monster, which meant I got a little bit of activity done today.  Also walking round all the shops help too.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow as I am getting a new tumble dryer.  This means I can get all my clothes washed and dryed and hopefully see the bottom of the wash baskets this weekend.  Then I will need to organize all the clothes back into the wardrobes and draws.  I am sure I have a lot of clothes that can even be thrown out or donated.

Ok, see you tomorrow for more of my daily chores.

New Year Cleaning

After the aftermath of Christmas and the New Year and a week of rest I have decided to give the entire house a good clean.  I am going to take each room and try and gut it as much as possible and throw out all the rubbish, mop or vacum floors, clean walls and surfaces and put everything back nice and neat.

The first room I am going to start with is the kitchen as this seems like it will be the most work.  I will also have to do the room under the stairs which is in the kitchen as well and I am not looking forward to that at all.
The next rooms will be the living room, the hallway and downstairs toilet, Our bedroom and en suite, the family bathroom, then Faiths room and Graces room.  So I'm hoping this will take a week, it may take longer depending on how much the girls try and interfere. 

I also need to get all the washing done as I only have one washing machine and radiators to dry it.  I am going to be saving up money for a tumble dryer at the end of the year so it will be a lot easier.

I hope everybody is enjoying the new year so far and good luck if you are doing a big clean like me.
