While Moggins is busy/away I promised I would keep this going. So here goes

Moggins if you feel up to taking over again just shout. Until then I am here

Hotspots are any areas which if one thing gets put there loads of other things follow!

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, ironing, making beds, hoovering high traffic areas

Nighttime routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

27 Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a binbag and whizz around the house finding 27 items that can go out with the rubbish

Monday
Living Room/Dining room

1. Vacuum living room thoroughly including under furniture
2. Dust ALL surfaces and polish wooden furniture
3. Hoover sofa and check under seat cushions for lost items, wipe if required
4. Sort mail and do filing
5. Clean television screen, dvd players, digi boxes etc etc
7. Clean inside of windows
8. Sort any magazines/books lying around
9. Clean any mirrors/clocks (yes that includes dusting the tops)

Dining room
1. Hoover
2. Dust

Night - clothes for tomorrow, lunch, hang up washing, write next days list

I will do it this week i promise, I am fed up spending precious time at weekends cleaning instead of with ds, so plenty of emotional blackmail please if i slip up!

scaredy_cat_2 · 4 March 2007 at 10:56PM

Thanks Lil_me appreciate you doing the list - wondered what i was going to do as of course totally incapable of writing my own for some reason!!!

Pigpen - had missed your post about weekend and when read a later one thought you and dh were going away!

You should be eating properly (from someone who often eats like that til eve meal) why does eating become so difficult!

Ok here goes. I am going to really, really try and keep up this week so I can have weekend for me and kids. Like other working mums I spend weekend chasing my tail and stressing over housework. NO MORE!!!!!!!!! Will be worth getting an extra bit knackered during the week to free up my weekends. Sounds good huh? Wish me luck cos no doubt I will be whacked tomorrow night and not so enthusiastic :-)
