Done/to do

[ailbhe]

Done (not necessarily in order):

• Emptied and refilled dishwasher (twice, once after dinner too).


• Hung laundry.


• Had someone come around for tea and biscuits.


• Got everyone dressed (Emer and I were dressed before visitors, but Linnea wasn't even UP)


• Brought sheets in off line and rehung indoors to finish drying (note: that washing line is seriously, seriously stretched; fix it, with children helping so they don't pull on hanging laundry again, drat them).


• Cooked, served and cleared away lunch


• Partially laid dinner table before going out for the afternoon


• Got the train to town (it's cheaper NOT to use the railcard)


• Bought Linnea's swimsuit, Emer's socks, and some kitchen things


• Walked to the swimming pool, did changing, drying etc for two lessons


• Came home in the rain, urgh


• Heated up dinner, ate it


• Cleared dining table


• Lucy did reading last week's Five in a Row book and the children did writing and kanji


• Videochat with Rob


• With Lucy, cleared the children's corner, partially tidied away and partially in heaps on the floor and the dining table


• Washed nappies


• Took down all the dry laundry, put away half of it


• Finished clearing the dining room table


• Finished clearing the dining room floor


• Took delivery of True Food shopping, put it away


• Took tomorrow's dinner out of the freezer to defrost


• Brushed children's teeth, did bedtime


• Fed Astrid many many times, changed nappies, changed her clothes


• Unpacked dirty nappies, restocked change kit for going out


• Did online banking


• Packed up Kim's parcel and stuck an address label on it


• Put the food waste in the landfill collection


• Wrote this list


• Edit to add: Hung clean wet nappies to dry, turned dishwasher and washing machine off at the wall due to influence of wattage-obsessed home ed mum of my acquaintance.

To do:

1. Pack up photographs to send my family (Rob's family got theirs in mid-AUGUST)


2. Go through paperwork and do at least some of it


3. Wash tetrapaks for recycling


4. Put away clean laundry for children, me, Rob, household


5. Launder guest bedding


6. Put guest duvet away - it's aired now, after all. No more excuses.


7. Tidy my bedroom


8. Photograph Astrid in the Moses basket; she's about to outgrow it, so now's the chance


9. Clear the draining board (did it 4 times today, which really helped but I need to do it EVERY time the stuff on it is dry, even if I think I don't have time)


10. Clear the kitchen counters


11. Deal with food waste again - need to go through the fridge. And need to arrange to dig out the compost bin so we can go back to composting properly. And get more Green Cone Accelerator.


12. Clear the homeschool table and the toy kitchen


13. Clear the front room floor

"Photograph Astrid in the Moses basket; she's about to outgrow it, so now's the chance"

How do I make goggle eyes? Wow! I keep forgetting she's only 2 and a tiny bit months - L & P were still in theirs at 4 mths
