    Wow SarahShattered I'm very impressed!!! Maybe I should really do DD1's room tomorrow. Although it's bigger so technically has more mess ;)

    Think I might give this a go, not sure how well it will go as I work full time and run an Army Cadet Detachment on Monday and Thursday evenings. However I was pleased to see when I looked at the list that I'm already one step ahead of things. After two days in a row off and some OS inspiration, I've deep cleaned both the Kitchen and Bathroom, get me :D I love how they both look am so proud of them so hopefully this will be my inspiration.

    Love the idea of writing down the list to stop you spending too much time here, the internet is deffinatley my weakness hehe!

    Welcome to the madhouse! (getting madder by the day - can't believe you lot have spent the weekend thanking people - crazy lovely people that you are!) :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I do that, copy the list to a word document and add my bits in as I go - still doesn't stop me coming on here tho! :o

    I'm in - but my assignment comes first, so I suspect a catch up day on Friday :o

    DD is back in school tomorrow, I'm back at placement on Tuesday on a new timetable - I actually get to work with 1 class for a week instead of moving around the different classes each day, and I'll be working with the year 5 classes last week of Jan/first week of February :eek: I'll also being assessed on the 22nd, and I've got to do a playground duty that day so I think I'll be having a word with my mentor in the school and see if its okay for me to go out over the next couple of weeks on a Thursday so the kids get used to seeing me out there and therefore in theory won't be hanging off me like they usually do if I'm in the yard (yes even the year 6 kids do that to me :rolleyes::rotfl: )

    It is interesting going through the old threads...Original posters who still post - Nicki, Penelope Penguin, Cha Michelle, Denise NZ, Dusty Kitten and me so far.

    But you will note that my "Anthea-ness" has long since departed, around about the same time ex did ;):rotfl::rotfl: Which is just 10 months ago (8 weeks & 2 days until the anniversary of him walking out and me claiming benefits ;) Keeping track as the following day I'll then be entitled to claim the back to work bonus when I get a job ;) )

    Right...whats my list then...

    Personal :
    • Post ebay items
    • Asda shop (tippex, salt. cucumber, lettuce) :confused::p Paying with CASH ;)
    • Job center - 10am (ask about possibility of a NVQ level 3 somewhere or the alternative of me being an OU student full-time as of May)
    • Assignment.
    • Check bank for CSA payment :mad:
    • Get stuff ready for placement on Tuesday - possibility of me having some prep/study time ;)
    Monday Mayhem..
    Level One
    Clean the sinks, baths, toilets, showers etc
    Level Two
    Wash the window and clear the sill
    Wipe the mouldy bits away
    Level Three
    Scrub down the tiles
    Vacuum the floor
    Extras
    1. Empty and clean out the bin
    2. Polish the mirrors
    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is, to be in bed by 10pm school nights, 11pm Friday night (only Saturdays when I don't have to be up :rolleyes: )

    Off to put the washing on the airers overnight, wash the tea pots (not many :D ) then I'm off to bed. Bathing DD took alot longer than I thought :rolleyes: I have 20 mins to make it to bed....hmmm :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Anyone fancy a late-night HHC this evening?
    I was considering 10 - 10.30

    I have put away the shopping and emptied the TD, even folded up the clothes, they are in neat piles waiting to be put away in the morning.
    But Washing Up, S&S kitchen still to do.
    Inspired by the "Shiny Sinks" thing, I recently realised how much I like getting up to a clean kitchen and the comments about the Shiny Sink thing really rang true with me so will try to do it tonight, tend to manage about 2 nights out of 7 lol!

    I'd like to join you lovely people. All my husband wanted for christmas was a clean and tidy house. So in an effort to make up for 6 years of lacklustre effort in this area I thought I would come on here for some moral support.

    I am going for Level 2 tomorrow and will also clear 50 emails.
