    Blimey Blade!!! What are you taking? I could really do with some.....
    Woke fairly early this morning (6:45ish - it's early for me!) and didn't feel as tired as I have been, so "upp'd" and "on'd" in my jamies (if I shower the whole house gets up...)
    By 10 I'd blitzed the kitchen (tidy and wipe down), ingredients in B/M restored order to my bedroom and the bathroom (plus swish and swipe) as well as the normal shower/school run things. Just returned from nice longish walk with son and Dog, washing machine finishing first load - second load waiting to go in.
    Had I not done the challenge last week I know I would be in a right tiz this week.
    I know I've got to get some paperwork sorted today and some shopping bought, so those will be my priorities. Next on hit list is to F/L my medicines/first aid stuff, then my 'ingredients' cupboard as I spend a lot of time rummaging through these.
    My aim is to have got everything to a standard I'm 'happy' with by September and also have a routine in place by then as I'm going to be doing a course in holistic therapies. I believe that we practice on each other a fair bit so the 'pampering' shoud be well taken care of ;)

    :j I just finished my bedroom.

    Well, almost :o

    Cleaned & sorted everything except wardrobe. I'm going to do that after I've picked the girls up from school.

    I've also done a quick clean of the bathroom & ensuite to keep on top of things :D

    I don't mind telling you, I'm jiggered. I started the FL challenge on Friday, the kitchen alone took 3 hours, day off on Saturday, a wee bit on Sunday, I started at 8.00am on Monday and finished at 10.00pm last night to watch the penalites being taken, done a wee bit more today, and I have the study left to do, once the OH has painted it at the weekend, the garage, the loft and the garden, I feel very pleased with myself and have enjoyed making my wee house into a clean and welcoming home, the OH is concerned that I am getting the house ready to put on the market, as my house is only ever tidy and sparkling when I want to sell.

    I can't thank Moggins enough for inspiring me to get started, it was long over due, I'm off to soak in my sparkling bath with candle lights.:grin: (on second thoughts maybe I won't, I'll have to re-clean it!)

    Good luck. This is also my aim. I find out next week whether I've got any further with the part-time job I applied for and also what date DD starts school nursery.

    I have now tidied hallway and stairs.:j I know its a big area but for somewhere that is not actually a 'room' it took ages to sort out. Still being home to the pushchair:rolleyes: contributes to making it cluttered. Landing I am doing as part of upstairs as all doors and loft hatch need a good washing down. Bags are still cluttering dining room as I am going to tackle bedrooms over next few days. We have architect coming in morning though so DH needs to help me [STRIKE]hide everything under the beds[/STRIKE] make the bedrooms look respectable.
