    Friday fun! - childrens rooms
    We need these looking nice for when the children go back to school next week so I think it is only fair they help clear up!
    Level One
    Clear the floors in the childrens room.. throw out any broken toys and find some that are no longer needed that can be sent to charity shop or given away.
    Level Two
    Change the childrens bedding/wash curtains
    Vacuum mattress (after turning & wiping any waterproof sheets) and floors
    Wash window
    Level Three
    Sort through a clothing cupboard.. anything outgrown?
    Put any discs back in cases and books back on shelves etc
    Dust.. lightshades, curtain poles, games consoles/PC's etc

    all exras have been done in the last week or so, and uniforms were ready before christmas, due to the extra week off with pox!!!!

    :xmastree:can I join too, PIGPEN? I have the worst case of CHAOS ever, almost, and I would really like to change this year!
    Hi MAIREAD- lovely name BTW - you will be very welcome to join us - I think we are all suffering from a bit of chaos just now!!! A new thread starts ON SUNDAY so please jump in and join us for what is left of this week.
    A new list is added evryday by our illustrious leader pigpen (please curtsey in her presence!!!) and you do it to whatever level you can manage - just make sure you read the very first post as it has all the helpful bits and abbreviations. Dont get too stressed - your house didnt get in amess overnight so it wont get tidy in a day!!! babysteps are the answer - little and often - dont try to do the whole house at once as you will wear yourself out and sicken yourself of housework too!!!
    There is no such thing as failure here - post what you have done.
    The support and encouragement on here is brilliant - the best I have seen and the fact that we are all going slightly insane is a big help !!!!!

    welcome to the ever so slightly mad house!!!!
    toots xx

    ETA AND YOU :xmastree: JENNYBEE YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TOO!!
    Peace will be mine

    Evening all

    Dinner nearly ready.

    Serena - Hi hun, I'm a bit better today thanks - just feel bad when my temp rises. DS3 is still quite grim I'm just praying he sleeps a bit better tonight. He just came into the kitchen and said I feel ill - his temp had soared over 103 again poor thing. Is your DD any better yet?

    I've packed away one box of decs - the rest I'll do some on Sunday and the rest on Monday.

    OH has had a bit of a tidy and hoover in the garage.

    Looking forward to Jonathan Creek tonight - anyone else planning on watching?

    My mum used to use soap powder and I've used it too when necessary - really great for degreasing stuff, but don't use too much or you will have to give them a quick rinse after.
