Day 14 - The Office!

Well I was successful! Successful at doing NOTHING on today's challenge of tidying/cleaning Magoo's room...... *hangs head in shame*

Although I had a great lunch date with my mum! I made that quiche again and it was even more delicious than yesterday's!

Today's yummy quiche!
Jump on that recipe! 

It was great to catch up with her today! 

I also caught up on my washing! I am now up to date with the new routine! I now have 3 loads of colours lurking in the lounge room.. Today was definitely not as nice as yesterday, it rained and the wind was awful!

I have a 7.5kg front loader washing machine..... On this clothes horse, is two loads of washing!!! A tip for you - items that would normally get hung up in your wardrobe, like shirts or jackets etc, hang up to dry, on your clothes horse, on a coat hanger! Not only does this save space on your clothes horse (or airer, whatever you call it), it also makes it easier to put it away! You don't have to fold it up to add to that persons pile, to be put away later -  it can be put straight into their wardrobe! This is fantastic for the kids' clothes, when there is usually only the one person responsible for putting all their clothes away.

Mr Magoo was extremely upset when he couldn't go outdoors and play today, but Miss Tilly made her own fun! 

"Camping" on the sofa, using a pillow case as a sleeping bag.

All the kids had a turn, and thought it was great fun! I think on Saturday we might set up camp in the lounge room... 

Another thing I did today, was tackle the enormous basket of odd socks { insert witty name for odd sock basket here, I couldn't think of one }.

Does your house eat socks??? Where do they go?? I have no idea why they always, always ALWAYS disappear! Sometimes its just easier to toss the lot, and buy new ones... I tell you what, I felt that way when I tipped all this onto the end of my bed.....

How does this happen??

Every time we came across an odd sock, we would throw it into the basket (an old washing basket) and every now and then, whenever we can be bothered, we will sort through it.

Jman and Miss Tilly decided to give me hand, and we actually found quite a few pairs. Miss Tilly finding the most! 

Nearly a pair!

Poor thing was shattered when I told her that these weren't a pair, and showed her stubborn streak by pairing them up anyway

I am looking forward to tomorrow's { day 15 } tasks. Tomorrow we are going to Clean the pergola area, de-clutter the gardens (weed) and organise the kids wardrobes.... { printable } and a { honey do list too }, which I will be making good use of tomorrow hehehehe 

Well I can tell you right now, there is no way I will be able to get the kids' wardrobes done! My pergola is a disgrace and will take up ALL my time! I will send the kids' out to weed my 1 and only garden bed.... They'll love it. They pick the little yellow flower weeds for me all the time!! Jman calls them "Honey Flowers" :)

Yellow weed 'flowers'

Might as well pull the plants out too, they're dead........ May they R.I.P.

I can't wait to show you the transformations tomorrow! It's going to be a good one!!!

Can you believe that we're almost ¾ of the way through! Only 1 more week { and 1 day } to go! I hope my mum was proud of me today when she came for lunch, and didn't have to shove stuff aside to eat at the table. I even showed her my new organising system in my drawers { which she rather liked }, and taught her a new way to fold her T-shirts { and I'm sure the fact that my bed was made wasn't lost on her either } :)

Don't forget it's Fathers Day this Sunday! I have Mr Misters' fathers day organised (well the 'gifts' anyway) and we have decided to go on a family picnic! Lists, lists and more lists (I love lists) to get organised. We have decided to go to a location that is about an hours drive from here. Somewhere we have never been before, and I'm really excited about it! 

What are your plans for Fathers Day? Do you have any Fathers Day Traditions? The kids prefer to make their Dad a present, and I have found some really nice printables, that I will share with you tomorrow night!

Ummmmmmm I think that's it!!! I feel like I have forgotten something..... Maybe because its only 9:00 pm, when I'm usually just finishing up at 11:00 pm lol.  Right - well I will leave it there for now! 

Talk to you tomorrow
