    Of course you can, especially as you take up a position in the front row :D

    There you go Twink you can move to the middle while I lie down in a darkened room and consider slipping out of the back door :o

    Gosh - a bit complicated for a Sunday morning :rotfl:

    I had to create a Yahoo account and apparently I'll receive motivational emails?!

    Then I visited the Beginner BabySteps and it tells you to shine your sink....but my sink is a white plastic one that I can't shine :rotfl: :rotfl: Only me, eh?

    Tee hee, will have to make it appear whiter, I hope that counts.

    Sounds like a brilliant idea but can we do another one in a few weeks please? I've got no chance this week but my house could really do with a good sorting (shame on me we only moved in a few months ago!)

    This is perfect timing for me. I was sitting having a cup of coffee and looking around the living room thinking how the whole house needs a good scrub, so this is perfect for me, count me in.
    I have 3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living/dining room, conservatory and stairs/hallway to clean, but will make sure kids have there rooms tidy, so I only need to clean them, so bedrooms will all be done in day one, kids will be told if I find anything lying around, it gets thrown out or goes in charity bag, OH will be told same :rotfl:
    Will do stairs and bathroom on tuesday, then have 3 days to do downstairs, I also have an incentive for making sure its all done before weekend, its my birthday on saturday :beer:
    Just remembered, we're getting a stair carpet fitted on wednesday, hope this doesnt hinder my cleaning, I'm easily distracted :rolleyes:

    Edinburghlass - don't you dare!!! I can still see you!! Detention for all naughty girls who don't appear for roll call :D

    Sue - just pick one of the downstairs rooms for Wednesday so you don't have to get in the way of the carpet fitters.

    Mariel - of course we can do another one, I've got another one booked into my household manual for one months time, just before the kids break up for the summer holidays :D

    My household manual would take a whole thread to explain it I think

    1 ring binder

    Split into 10 sections

    Diary
    Daily to do list
    Goals
    Special (christmas and birthday presents and projects)
    Food (menu plans and shopping lists)
    Cleaning (Zones and detailed cleaning plans)
    Family (all school information, DH's work schedule and emergency contact info)
    Personal
    Holiday (Holiday schedules, ideas for days out and christmas countdown)
    In the back are sticky labels, postcards and spare paper.

    Count me in. Past 6 months I've been at college and it's taken its toll on the house. Only thing is though eldest is at school, 3yo is at home with me 2 full days and at nursery 3 fulld ays, so have 2 days when can get very limited done (and includes me attending an adult education class for 1 PM onone of those days) but 3 days when I can acheive more. Any ideas for the 2 days with DD at home.

    Moggins -I live the sound of your planner, you'll have to share that more with us.
