It is pretty good, but not quite as good as you are thinking, but please keep reading anyway.<br /><br />Thursday is when I do all my shopping, grocery shopping, gift shopping, clothing shopping, yes all those little chores, and still great, but not always so much fun.<br /><br />This is a follow-on - kind of - from <a href="http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/paperwork-day-tuesday.html">Tuesday - Paperworkday</a>. I do all my planning on Tuesday, and then the actual shopping on Thursday. We have late night shopping here on Thursday which makes it a little easier. Some shops are open to 7pm, some even to 9pm. <br /><br />I start with the grocery shopping, then go home and unpack everything, and head back out for the little things that I need for the coming weeks. Maybe Fairy Princess needs new pyjamas, or Fathers day is coming up and I need to get the Fishing Rod Papa has been hinting around for MONTHS, or maybe I just need to get some birthday cards to mail - DONT FORGET THE STAMPS.<br /><div></div><ul><li><span style="color: purple;">Grocery Shopping</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Unpack Groceries</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Household Items</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Clothes</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Gifts</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Birthdays</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Early Christmas</span></li></ul><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-3709584846331198162?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/rMXGgD6cMUc" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/05/shopping-day-thursday.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-85643800432012158102012-05-10T03:13:00.000-07:002012-05-10T03:13:00.437-07:00Mothers Day Menu Plan 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MB2_IuBeh94/T6j1IHXI4NI/AAAAAAAAAEk/EidIziJkN7Q/s1600/Mothersdaymenuplan2012.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MB2_IuBeh94/T6j1IHXI4NI/AAAAAAAAAEk/EidIziJkN7Q/s320/Mothersdaymenuplan2012.png" width="320" /></a></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Brunch</span></h2><div align="center"> Pikelets<br />Jam <br />Whipped Cream<br />Fresh Fruit Salad<br />Plunger Coffee<br />Pot of Tea<br />Orange Juice</div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Late Lunch</span></h2><div align="center"> Chicken, Cranberry and Brie Paninis<br />Juice<br />Lemonade</div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Afternoon Tea</span></h2><div align="center">Scones<br />Cucumber Sandwiches<br />Lemonade<br />Mocktails</div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Dinner</span> </span></h2><div align="center">Cream Cheese and Walnut Apricots<br />Cottage Cheese Cherry Tomatos<br /><br />Roast Chicken<br />Roast Potatoes<br />Roast Pumpkin<br />Salad<br /><br /><a href="http://meal-times.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/chocolate-self-saucing-pudding.html">Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding</a></div><div align="center">Whipped Cream<br />Ice Cream<br /><br />Plunger Coffee<br />Small Chocolates</div><h2 align="center"> </h2><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-8564380043201215810?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/iisSrRQfOtA" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/05/mothers-day-menu-plan-2012.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-21316506197581444872012-05-09T03:32:00.000-07:002012-05-09T03:32:00.303-07:00Menu Plan 13th -

A Clean StoryI clean our toilets three times a week, nearly every second day. This might seem like alot but I like to keep on top of it and with Mr King, and 3 year old Princess, not everything makes it into the bowl.<br /><br />I clean ALL the toilets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - we have guests on Saturday nights waaay more than Fridays, so always present a clean toilet - VERY important for guests. There is nothing worse than going to someones house and getting a not-quite-clean toilet to use. YUCK.<br /><br />I start at the top, wiping the handle, door, window sill and walls before moving onto the toilet. I use throw away wipes and work from the outside in on the toilet itself. Then I use Toilet duck - always with bleach, and vacuum and wash the floor.<br /><br />On a side note, please dont be tempted to get Lemon toilet duck, Yellow coloured water sitting in your bowl can give the wrong impressions to guests - even if it is Lemon Fresh.<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe Door and Handles - inside and out</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe Windowsill</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe Walls - Spot Scrub (include light switch)</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe Toilet top, top of lid and sides of cistern</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe below bowl, and nooks around bottom</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe underside of lid, top of seat and underside of seat</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Wipe actual bowl and scrub where needed</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Use Toilet Duck</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Vacuum and Wash Floor</span></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-7315537865432041478?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/Qe9fEGXZij0" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/04/toilets-clean-story.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-52125273597297913112012-04-25T00:09:00.002-07:002012-04-25T00:09:30.657-07:00Menu Plan 29th April - 5th May 2012<h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Sunday 29th</span></h2><div align="center">Open Cafe-Style Sandwiches</div><div align="center">Oven Fries</div><div align="center"> </div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Monday 30th</span></h2><div align="center">Mediterranian Chicken</div><div align="center">Rice</div><div align="center">Chopped Salad</div><div align="center">Garlic Bread</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Tuesday 1st </span></h2><div align="center">Leftover Chicken</div><div align="center">Sweet Potato</div><div align="center">Brocolli and Cauliflower</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Wednesday 2nd </span></h2><div align="center">Steak</div><div align="center">Mashed Sweet Potato</div><div align="center">Salad</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Thursday 3rd</span></h2><div align="center"><a href="http://meal-times.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/pita-fajitas-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">Mince Pita Fajitas</a></div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Friday 4th</span></h2><div align="center">Chicken Stirfry</div><div align="center">Rice Noodles</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"><span style="color: red;">Saturday 5th</span></h2><div align="center">Beef Burgers</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-5212527359729791311?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/UKwqH2d96cw" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/04/menu-plan-29th-april-5th-may-2012.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-77312705801348999052012-04-20T21:43:00.000-07:002012-04-22T22:46:53.055-07:00Paperwork day - Tuesday<h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Tuesday - Paperwork Day</span></h2><br />Tuesday, the number two day, the second day of the week. Oh no a wiggles song, yes I have toddlers. Anyway, Paperwork day. This is the day we get the next round of 'junk' mail - quite possibly my favourite day of the week, I love sitting down quietly while the kids and Mr are in the bath and planning. <br /><br />On paperwork day I plan my grocery list, menu, and shopping list. This is also the day I write up the plan for the following week and 'pencil' in activities. Paperwork day is also the dreaded 'Bill Paying Day'. We get paid on Thursday so depending how much money there is I may only set it up on Tuesday to come out on Thursday - YAY internet banking.<br /><br /><span style="color: purple;">My Checklist:</span><br /><ul><li><span style="color: purple;">Check Specials</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Check Special Occasions coming up</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Pay Bills</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Plan Menu</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Plan Shopping List/s</span></li><li><span style="color: purple;">Plan Grocery List/s</span></li></ul><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-7731270580134899905?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/pulZ54IJKNQ" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/04/paperwork-day-tuesday.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-77067697598059893122012-04-17T20:21:00.000-07:002012-04-22T23:07:55.774-07:00Menu Plan 22-28 April 2012<h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Sunday 22nd April</span></h2><div align="center"><a href="http://meal-times.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/pita-fajitas-recipe.html">Mince Pita Fajitas</a></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Monday 23rd April</span></h2><div align="center">Honey Mustard Chicken</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Tuesday 24th April</span></h2><div align="center">Steak and Salad</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Wednesday 25th April</span></h2><div align="center">BLTs</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Thursday 26th April </span></h2><div align="center">Pasta Bolognase</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Friday 27th April</span></h2><div align="center">Mediterranian Chicken Couscous</div><div align="center"><br /></div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;">Saturday 28th April</span></h2><div align="center">Steak, Wedges and Salad</div><h2 align="center"> <span style="color: red;"></span> </h2><div align="center"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8100824785973182990-7706769759805989312?l=classic-housewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ClassicHousewife/~4/5T1kC8Jetmw" height="1" width="1"/>Nerissanoreply@blogger.com0Brisbane QLD, Australia-27.4709331 153.0235024-27.4850216 153.0037614 -27.4568446 153.04324340000002http://classic-housewife.blogspot.com/2012/04/menu-plan-22-28-april-2012.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100824785973182990.post-79617035022765849642012-04-15T18:31:00.002-07:002012-04-16T21:51:54.305-07:00The Beginning...A very good place to start<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This blog will detail my life juggling being a housewife, mother and working part-time.
