    Hi,

    Thanks for all the nice messages. I want to start getting organised with the housework but am a bit confused as to what I should be aiming to do on a daily basis. I understand about levels 1, 2 & 3 but it's the rest I don't understand

    OK, so I was perhaps a little ambitious, hoping to get it all done by 3.30. I won't beat myself up though, as I have all day!

    Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One
    [strike]Declutter and vacuum![/strike] - decluttering took forever. Papers all over the table, but now I can see the surfaces!
    Spend half an hour doing something for yourself! - This will be listening to the radio at 3.30 and knitting in my bestest ever clean living room!:D Have another 15 minutes to spare!
    Level Two
    [strike]Vacuum sofa[/strike]
    [strike]Wash windows [/strike]- inside only, as someone has stolen my sunshine:mad: and I want it back. Now.
    [strike]dust and deweb[/strike]!.. don't forget furry skirtings!
    Level three
    Vacuum right the way up the stairs! - Lovely wooden stairs, a quick go over with the Dustpan & Brush will do the trick!
    Sort through coats n bags n shoes etc - Aaagghh!! I have about 20 coats hanging up, and nowhere to put them. I must though, as I can only just open the front door!
    Extras
    1. Sort through a handbag - I love playing handbags!
    2. [strike]Sort through a cupboard or drawer of junk[/strike] - done last week! ALL drawers!
    3. [strike]Sift through a pile of paperwork and file or shred as appropriate [/strike]see above!
    4. HHI
    5. Re-pot house plants, including all little babies!
    6. Sort out old photos. After all, I don't look at them regularly, but need to dust the boxes lots!
    7. Not really FLYing, but have to read book for Book Group tomorrow evening. I haven't started it yet!:eek:
    Does anyone have a magic wand I can borrow?

    The "extras" are suggestions - the acronyms are all on page one of the thread (HHI/C/E, etc). Just do as much or as little as you want/can.

    Hope this helps!
