I`ve finally done it my mount everest pile of ironing:dance: :dance: :dance: .

I`ve also crossed off spending half hour on myself, but saving that for later. When i`m going for a verrrry long soak in the bath with a glass of wine in one hand and choccie in the other.:D

Look forward to see what tomorrow brings.
Ta Ta for now.:hello:

Hi Emily, I see where you are coming from. I know you have just moved house so I am guessing you need to be putting things away still. I try to do certain things every day - so I always do the dishes, wipe the kitchen worktops, empty the bin, give the loo a quick wipe (with a disposable wipe as I am lazy!), ditto wipe the sink - kitchen and bathroom, and collect any cups/glasses that have been left round the house. Because I have children I also put the WM on every day, and hoover - but I bet you can get away with this less often. I then try and do at least half an hour on something else - currently I am working on Pigpens list for that half an hour, getting as a minimum level 1 and a basic clean on the room of the day. After a few weeks of this you should be able to move up a level. If a room is especially grim then I make it the room of the week and do another half an hour a day on it. This way the long term mess gets cleared - or you put a box of unpacked stuff away. Try setting yourself challenges? I mademyself unpack a box a day until it was finshed. If you want to feel that someone else is suffering with you then go online and see if anyone wants to join you for a half hour challenge. Celebrate what you have done rather than getting down about the things you haven't done. Hope this helps.

Is anyone up for a HHC 16.45-17.15?

Me please!! Just need to locate my list... it's moved while I was in my meeting... and decide what to do.

Old bed has been decluttered to a very prompt freecycler with a miniscule car, so I hope he gets back to basingstoke without the bed making a bid for freedom!

ETA - list checked. I'm going to finish the kitchen so I can get one star, and then start putting the bedroom back together so I can clear the other rooms!

See you later!

funfair princess thats not an easy one - you will maybe have to get a window cleaner evry couple of months - dont want you falling off or Piper getting the idea that she could do it:eek: If you could get them cleaned and then use the stuff that repells dirt - supposed to work for 6 months so that would possible help you! good luck with the ceiling - sounds like you are prepared but the dust still manages to spread!!!
AnW'sMum well done with the dot2dot - I have joined up mine in the bedroom and the lounge - just the hall left.
Mudders hope you are coping with the work and not too tired.

Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
Level One
Declutter and vacuum!
[STRIKE]Spend half an hour doing something for yourself! .. make yourself a hair appointment or something![/STRIKE] Going to a friend's house for dinner and a chat tonight.
Level Two
Wipe sofas
[STRIKE]Wash windows[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]dust and deweb!.. don't forget furry skirtings![/STRIKE] Kindly done by DD1
Level three
[STRIKE]Wash any soft furnishings that need doing[/STRIKE] None needed...washed all sofa cushion covers last week.
[STRIKE]Vacuum right the way up the stairs![/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Sort through coats n bags n shoes etc[/STRIKE]

Will carry on a bit longer I think as the lounge is not very tidy yet. Also as DD2 is with IL's (I've been with DD1 on her school trip today) I can't decide whether to have a swim myself while DD1 has her lesson?

Anyway, less chat, more action. See you in a bit.

Someone was asking about window cleaning earlier. I'd love to know how to wash the top half of my windows without taking my life into my own hands! The old sash windows have been replaced with PVC and only the bottom half opens, to wash the outside you need to sit on the sil and reach up with a long armed cloth not good with the main road under you and being as high up as I am! If I tried to do them from the outside I'd need a firemans ladder/cherry picker and a harness:rotfl: :rotfl: Any suggestions?
.

can't be of much help as I'd also like to know the answer to that question. I know you can get some kind of window cleaning gadget that is magnetic so you can do the outside from the inside. Has anyone used one? Are they worth getting?
