Lime Scale!!!

FFS! What are you supposed to use on this stuff!!

I’m so pathetically helpless in the housekeeping department, how do these women (you know, them!) keep their houses so pristine?

The deep clean on the bathroom got underway yesterday, armed with bleach, sponges and a toothbrush I scrubbed and scowled (my frown was scary!)  but nothing I did got rid of the lime scale buildup on the shower door, it’s only 2 weeks since I limelited it, so the stuff came out again and now my house smells like a chemical wasteland *cough cough splutter* and hey presto! It’s gone for now… but it will be back curse it!

Am I supposed to spend my entire life cleaning? Because I Won’t WON’T WON’T!!!

*sigh*

I know, it’s a conundrum. As a stay at home Mother, the Children and Domesticity becomes my ‘work’ I should after 5 years be used to domestic servitude and have my routine off pat, not so… Toddlers are not conjusive to house work, have you ever tried to scrape cereal off the carpet, especially once it has dried! And crafting glitter!!! Hellish doesn’t go there…

There must be some secret to it…

Will someone tell me what it is please?

 

Week Two – Onward… :-p

Erm… yes well… good job most of my Resolutions are long term…

My husband had a really tough week last week, those stormy days with high winds we had had him running around with work, funny how I feel the knock on effect…  Come Friday night (after being good all week) when he said, shall we have a glass of wine I was very pleased to agree. *head desk* 2 bottles later and we retired that night giggling like teenagers. I guess it was a much needed chill out and release, I’m sure we feel better for it after this weekend so I can’t think of it as being bad.

Still… I haven’t managed to use my new trail shoes yet   I had it all planned for Wednesday and then discovered (on their doorstep) that nursery was not open, my little man was not keen on going out in the rain and to be honest, nor was I.

I heard today that the school admissions close in two weeks, last years stress of not getting the place I wanted for my daughter came flooding back if only momentarily, I applied for my little man via the web last September but we have to wait until April to hear, I’m soooo glad we only have 2 children, it’s a killer! Although the county say they don’t allow for sibling weighting I hope they secretly do…

High points this last week were giving up sugar in my tea and only having 2 cups of coffee, as a 6 cup a day girl, this is vast!

Right… lets not dwell. Goals for this week.

EXERCISE!!   Somehow! (this last week I took to charging up and down the stairs at top speed, as a mother I do this often)

Still drink more water.

There are 3 birthdays to organise cards and cheques, I have at least written them on the calendar this year

Tomorrow… laundry *groan*
