:xmastree: Hi all, Im new here, can I join you please? My situation is a little different in that I have OCD and have a severe problem with cleaning.

Welcome Casleigh,
We don't harrass or harrang anyone on here, just gently encourage (unless you ask us to harrass you because you have something important to do, then we will... ) Toots has probably said hello and told you babysteps, but you seem to have that sorted already...:D
I think you have a great plan of action, and we will all encourage you as much as we can, but if you're feeling like you can't manage, don't stress yourself, take your time and we will get you through, just post your achievements as you do them so you can see it for yourself in black and white - always a great feeling crossing something off the list...
Best of luck and welcome to the thread... :T

Right, I need to get dressed and started myself...
DS is just loading the dishwasher (was supposed to do it last night and didn't, so just got him up to do it now... ) Then I am on to the Kitchen with a vengance... List for today...

Okay, I'm up... I'm moving slowly... I was asleep by 11pm and didn't get up until 9am Pity it was interrupted by texts from a drunk friend at midnight and something past 3 :rolleyes: He'll get a telling off later, maybe Gorn played down the phone rather loudly

Todays plan is to tackle studying, laundry mountain(s) as its already sorted into loads , and for both of us to have baths. I might if I'm not exhausted tonight do some ironing while watching I am Legend which is my latest rental and only been sitting there since Friday if not before...

WM x
Maiden/TD x can't get out my back door again
Study Block 3 part 1 (finish) part 2 Part 3
Make beds up - both are being stripped today as we're both bathing
Bath DD (intensive conditioner treatment on her hair!:eek: )
Bath for me
Relist items on ebay (someone wants to buy more stickers and I said I'd relist them last Friday )
Ring Doctors for DD's test results. (only a swab to check what the sore throat was caused by)
Recycling out
[strike]Shift Money around[/strike] My overdraft is finally registering UNDER £1000 again :j Just waiting on a BT to show up on my Mastercard so I can transfer my overdraft onto it (cheaper rate) and that should clear the majority of my overdraft! Current DFD : 47 months WITHOUT that BT Here's hoping that by Friday I can reduce that to 45

Monday - Kitchen
Level One
Clear and wipe work surfaces
[strike] Empty and wash out bins[/strike] Done Saturday so starting with a fresh bin today as I used carrier bag yesterday
Level Two
[strike] Clear out the fridge and make note of what needs using sharpish[/strike] Its currently filled with fruit but thats all that needs using
Sweep and mop floor
Level Three
Clean the oven and hob
Wipe all the cupboard fronts, kickboards and large appliance
Wipe and replace all the small appliances

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. To study OU for at least 2 hours a day! So I can spend the weekend DD is away doing my NVQ paperwork.

Right, off upstairs to get moving, DD is due to eat at 10.30 so I need to be down her supervising her doing that! Laters :wave:
