    Hi I'm new!! Do you mind if I join in? Really struggling at the moment, cleaning has always stressed me out and now I've got a 2 year old and a 3 month old baby, things are getting on top of me a bit housework wise.

    Evening everyone, I am gonna try and start this from tomorrow, need to get in a routine as this house looks like a bombs hit it, its disgusting, made a start today with some polishing and hoovering, but this plan will make sure each room gets touched at least once a week, even if just a basic clean, much better than what it sees now.

    Ok, here goes my first plan of action.........going to jump in with both feet and go for all three levels. Methinks I may then have to end the day with a large drinky..but it will be worth it to make a decent dent in the housework.
    Wow, I wish I was this eager to do my housework! :rotfl:
    Just take your time and aim for level 1 - if you do more it's a bonus and you'll find yourself achieving more each day... Good luck!

    I saved mine to a folder in My Pictures (Penfold's in there too) just using copy and paste and then go to User CP and edit avatar which gives you an option to either connect to a pic on a website or to upload from your computer.
    I did that, it said it hadn't worked but Peggy was there shown as my avatar so I came back to the thread and voila here she is!

  • Hi Ladies, I'll be in again this week - did a lovely post Friday and then the system shut down before it posted! Anyway - upshot was I was flying along nicely and got loads done including the windows and beds and 4 loads. finding work a chore at the mo so not got loads of energy - can't keep up with all the posts - new list only been up a couple of hours and already 4 pages!! Still I try to pop in for a quick lurk each evening even if I don't post. It's great knowing you are all there and with a listening ear if I need to let off steam - thank you all!

    have a great week - ((( hugs to all )))

    Need to get a cuppa and go and watch the results - need to put a video in for the kids too.
