    Made a start on the kitchen today thankfully!

    I have listed my 5 jobs below to be completed this week as I keep putting these off for ever! I've put the jobs on my personal to do list as an incentive to complete and cross them off.

    The clutter in the spare room is massively decluttered after last week's effort to keep my mind occupied an on other things. The only clutter left is the ebay rejects which I am focussing on this week to complete.

    As I only bought my iron last week (it is still in the box :o) and an ironing board I pledge to do my small pile of ironing this week.I have got out of the ironing habit for ages and it could stay this way!

    Question

    Does my 'one-a-day (or 7-a-weekend) list' count towards the 5 things or do I need another 5 things :confused: ?
    froddy I would say thats up to you honey - you could make 5 important ones onto your weekly challenge - ones that tend to be forgotten /sidetracked /left for a rainy day - the idea is to catch up on overlooked things. But dont be overstretching yourself - its entirely up to you if you do both the daily lists and the weekly challenge or only one.

    I will probably still be working on last week's decluttering:rotfl::rotfl:
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Hi - I'm in again please.

    PIGPEN and TOOTS - thank you so much.

    Everyone on here gives me the kick up the but I so need as when I read about some of your problems and what they are its make me really appreciate the life I have. We may be MEGA skint but we are healthy and very happy. Hugs to everyone who wants one

    I aim to do all the lists Mon-Fri and my 5 tasks this week are to be done Mon-Thurs and they are;

    1. Sort out DS toys [aiming for world domination..........they are!]:mad:
    2. Catch up on the bloomin filing - why is it never ending????:eek:
    3. Tidy up the Garden

    4. Sort out the black hole that is the cupboard under the stairs.

    5. Catch up on the rest of the Ironing so that by Thurs eve there is none - this is the one that I may not be able to do but I'm gonna try.:o

    This is such a brilliant idea - I'm so going to be organised this week!!
