    Please count me in for this week, as I really need to get on top of the house.

    Marvellous Monday Basics
    Wipe the kitchen sides (just what you can see)
    Clean the kitchen sink, slosh some soda crystals and hotwater down
    Hoover and mop the floor

    Reception Room (Living Room/Dining Room/Conservatory) Declutter
    Today's aim is to deal with everything you can see without opening drawers/cupboards, or looking behind sofas.
    Imagine how you would like the room to be at the end of the week.

    Start by putting all rubbish and recycling in the bins outside of the room.
    Take any cups, plates etc (along with stray bottles of tomato sauce) into the kitchen for washing.
    Recycle any newspapers, magazines etc which are laying around, will you really get around to reading them?

    Rehome anything which does not belong in this room to its correct place (if it doesn't have a home then this is part of your problem, you need to find it one or question if you really need it - small children not included).

    The first 30 minutes is usually the most successful so get off to a good start and then have a break or your ability to make decisions will decrease.

    So if the floor now clear? If not carry on for as long as you can.

    Have a quick hoover around the middle of the room (we'll move the furniture later in the week.

    Other jobs for Monday
    Do MSing work that is in for today
    Do paid work
    House viewing, we are considering moving
    Sort Avon books
    Distribute some Avon books
    Sort tester paperwork
    Catch up with emails
    Start to sort diary for next month
    Do course work that is in for today

    I am in this week, please, thank you.

    AF was here last week and although I didn't do too bad once I got going I had zero motivation to get started!

    Morning flyladies :wave:

    I'm in this week, I have two hours at the paid stuff this morning; I usually have Mondays "off" but I missed a customer last weds as she and her husband were on holiday, they were having the HSL redecorated and they'd left their (filthy, dirty, minging) 20ish year old daughter home alone. I dread to think of the state the place will be in :( But I'll get stuck into the lounge when I get back.

    I need to have a think about DVD storage, we have an ugly but useful sideboard which houses A LOT but it's started to overflow. I need to find a way to keep DH out of Hed of a lunchtime!

    Hope all are well xx
