have looked in horror at tomorrows list - I'm sure nobody elses study can be as bad as ours - hopefully pigpen its the incentive we need & DH has even said he will make a start so we may be able to see some of the study floor by this time tomorrow & not have to climb over things to reach this computer!

You're not alone... my study is at least a weekend project... every time another room gets sorted out, the study bears the brunt of it, and although the piles usually get partly rehomed, there always seems to be something left! I don't currently have room to do my ironing, and have been using my laptop in the kitchen for over a week now

Jennybee's study should be looking good though... she's cleared out about 10 years' worth of cr*p already, and I think she mentioned she found a green carpet underneath it all

gtx - re. vacuuming the mattress. This is to get rid of dead skin & dust mite poo. Someone on here (was it toots??) posted a link on a thread last year about dust mites in duvets, just to make the point... If you have a bagless vacuum, empty it before the first time, and look at what comes out :eek: . I still do this occasionally, and am always hugely relieved that it has never been like that since! pigpen puts it on every week, and I also do the spare room mattress when I change the bedding too.

Dehumidifier moved downstairs to deal with the condensation from cooking... dyson moved upstairs, so need to tackle the bed, then maybe have a bath and go to bed and try to sleep! Tomorrow is back-to-back meetings, so I need to get up in time to deal with email over breakfast (I know I have loads, I've been keeping an eye on my blackberry!)

Its so quiet here, is it cause there is no chat?, cause there's not a lot on facebook either, are we split between facebook and yahoo?, cant get on with yahoo.
No flying done this evening, Must try harder tomorrow!!!

I think I'm on Yahoo...although I may not be. Personally I like my chat and flying kept together, can't cope with too many different things to read, takes more time which I could be using tidying :rotfl:

Was going to go and empty the dishwasher and fill it but I'm too pooped so I'm going to play something on the Wii and then go to bed by 11pm

Now I don't want to get myself drummed off Flylady (or have people run away when I post) but do you all REALLY wash your sheets EVERY week? I can't see my motivation running to that - 2 weeks feels fine :o:o am I gross?

Bathroom tomorrow, will be mainly swish and swipe as have parents evening for bottom set year 10... lovely...

Study is definately a weekend job but hoping my new motivational self will be able to tackle it :T

Good cheer and smilies to all in need xxx

The important thing is that you've done something... so slowly but surely things will get done, and at least they're not deteriorating!

*moggins*

Welshgirl I know it may sound excessive but when you remember how much a person sweats during the night and how many skin cells we slough off, once a week is definitely needed.

I know how you feel, I hate changing the duvet cover as I am so small I often end up inside it rather than the duvet but it's well worth it.

welshgirl78

hmmm, I'm feeling bad already... I also get lost in the duvet...

Oh dear - now I feel I should do them NOW

HH62

We're supposed to vacuum our mattress??? :eek:

I'm changing my sheets on Fri, so I'll get the Dyson, empty, and do it. I feel itchy now just thinking about it.....

I'm due to go to the dentist in April, I go once a year and normally just have to have them cleaned.

I don't like it but better than the doctor.
