Do you start on Mondays??
Can I put myself down as a very new newbie?? My house is a tip!! And everyone I know has to call me 2 hours before if they want to come round so I can quickly clear up!!
I tend to spend too much time thinking and reading about doing stuff than actually doing it!!

Hello gertrudeanna and welcome! All our houses are tips (well almost all - no offence meant ladies!) thats why we are here!!! And dont get too engrossed in the thread or you will get even less done!!!
CHAOS(Cant Have Anybody Over Syndrome) is very common disease on this thread!!!!!:rotfl:
Yes the list runs from Monday to Sunday - A new thread is started on Sunday evening via a link from this thread so keep a watch on here on Sunday and dive in!
Make sure you read the first post carefully as it contains all the info and abbreviations that we use!
A new list is added to the 1st post every evening by pigpen our illustrious leader and by the weekend you will have been round the whole house.
Dont get stressed with the mess just try to do the list to whatever level you can manage depending on your home circumstances - work, children OH's!!!!
Even if you only manage level 1 everyday when you come back to that room next week you will find it is easier and as time goes on it becomes more manageable and you will see huge differences - I know it sounds impossible but I can vouch for the fact it works!!!
Remember your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy in a day!! Dont try to do the whole house at once - you will tire yourself out and sicken yourself - we have all tried it!! BABYSTEPS - little and often and you will be amazed at the improvement.
POst what you have done and forget about what you missed - there is no such thing as failure on here!!!
The support, encouragement and friendship on here is simply THE BEST! ask any questions and we will give you our tuppence worth - sometimes sensible sometimes totally insane! We dont bite - well most of us dont -have fun!!
welcome to the totally bonkers mad house!!!!

flower - I wished you lived closer too - I would even swap ironing for decorating :eek:

pigpen - love the photos; mmmm - chocolate

tilly-tot - errrmmm, I don't have a recipe, I just sort of made it up! I soaked some lentils overnight, then made up a litre of stock, boiled the lentils in the stock in the bottom of my steamer whilst steaming the carrots, and then blended it all together with some garlic granules. Was a bit of an experiment (as all my soups are!) but it has worked!

gerturdeanna - welcome (to the madhouse!!) A new thread will start tomorrow with the list for Monday. Toots will no doubt give you the official welcome soon!! ETA - she beat me to it!!

Well I'm still on a roll so I'm going for one more

HHC from 4:45 - 5:15

to see if I can get the Science planning done! Anyone else mad enough for another?

Hello all

You seem to have been a busy lot today! We went out for a stroll, resisted the coffee shop temptation and I went to do the food shop. Bit of a mistake as I bought quite a bit and then really struggled to get it home, even with my trolley! Still, plenty of food in now for a week or so. Having home made minestrone tonight, hope it will be enough as am pretty hungry at present after cutting down a lot today (just takes getting used to after troughing all over Christmas...and before!)

my list:
wm
decs down & away
suitcase away
wash up
clear tupperware cupboard
find space to stash christmas cake
water plants
go through books to find healthy recipes
meal plan 1 week
shopping for meals
library books back
buy & post gran's birthday card

froddington

Right I'm off for my HHC - see you in half an hour!
