Nope I have my housework divided into 3 lists:
Things they won't do under any circs - crumbs, changing toilet rolls etc
Things they will do if asked - washing, dusting, ironing, tidying
Things they have been conditioned into doing - using laundry basket, putting homework away, finding things.

I always have to do list one - ask for help sometimes on list two - anything on list three doesn't affect me so not my problem

Using laundry basket???? Probably my biggest :mad: ! My children (3 & 1) can both manage this but DH seems to think the floor is one big laundry basket. Doesn't get washed until it's in there though!

DH can use it but as he works away quite a lot I can think I've caught up but then find he only empties his bag when he goes again - I refuse to do it for him in case something bites me - :rotfl:. DD has a habit of keeping it all in her room and then filling the basket I sometimes fold it up and put it back if it's been worn for 10 mins - works every time

Well, since I joined you lovely people I haven't posted anything. Mostly because I have been getting organised, it's so nice to hear that other people make lists as much as I do!

The tree is up,
all the presents are bought and wrapped and under the tree,
housework up to date (well, as much as housework is every completely up to date),
made all the christmas crackers for xmas day at my sisters and my in-laws on Boxing Day (24 in total),
cards all written and posted - HURRAH.

I love having everything done early so that I can enjoying the lights and decorations in all the London streets and not have to worry about SHOPPING.

All I have to do now is make a list for the Saturday before Christmas, my OH and I are going to Borough Market to buy cheese, smoked salmon and yummy bits and bobs to take over to my sisters on Christmas Eve. I hope the Salvation Army is there singing christmas carols while I sip on a mulled cider - so excited. :beer:

Pledge update:
I didn't buy anthing in my Woolies closing down sale as they haven't announced that they're closing (although we know they are), was hoping to get a DS for about £60 so far they've only got it down to £89.99!!! :eek: It's okay, but its still way out of my budget! So i'm going to go back to town tomorrow to see if its kicked in yet??:D
Connexions are shut for the day, so i couldn't really go in there to sort something out:( BOOO!:p And that's as far as i've got so my intentions were good!!:j I should be on the nice list if i get two presents wrapped!:D
