Moggins household manual - hope that's ok?

Butterfly_Brain

I too am a listaholic:rotfl:
I have

• To Do lists
• Birthday Lists
• Christmas Lists
• Freezer stock Lists
• Cupboard Stock Lists
• Hoarding Lists
• Payment Lists
• Lists of School dates
• Recipe Lists
• Hobby Lists
• Sewing Lists
• Shopping Lists

It is a bit out of hand now cos my OH thinks I have lost the plot But how can I have when I have all thes lists? LOL

Not necessarily a list but more a compilation. I have a folder with integrated plastic sleeves. In each sleeve I have a SOAP summary on a page of all the household admin things such as home insurance, car insurance, electric supplier and tariff, phone supplier and tariff...end dates of tied in contracts, cost if there is a get out clause, contact numbers Behind the SOAP are all the relevant details.

This is my bible and I regularly check through, compare prices etc.

This is so useful

May have been said before, but don't really have time to read through!

-Price list (so you can compare prices more easily)
-Sizes list (clothes and shoe sizes of your family and friends, for presents etc)
-Present recycling list (to avoid embarassment when recycling gifts! )

Hi, we have a list of the paint colour used in each room for when we might need to retouch a damaged bit of wall or skirting...

ie

Lounge- walls, soft moss 6, Dulux mix to order
woodwork, soft moss 5, Dulux mix to order


we thought it might help us, and might be useful for someone buying our house/admiring a colour scheme!!! :D

Must remember to behave and smile sweetly whilst at TBJ today....)

I knew it! our brains are quite similar eh? :rotfl:

I have dreams of telling them to stick TBJ (yours I mean!) where the sun don't shine. But they aren't nightmares! Tee heee...;) Hope today's ok ish... xxxxx Yeah, insomnia eh?:mad: Surely I should be stocking up now on all the sleep I won't be getting for the next oh, 18 years?!

Back on topic, ahem:D, we also have a declutter list and a DIY snagging list broken down into estimated number of hrs to complete, so if we get in from work and have half an hour's worth of energy, we pick one off the 'less than an hour list'. Its all in spreadsheet form, and colour coded.... :o:o

Yep - similar brains indeed our Weezl in some respects. I've got one of those as well - the "if I've got just a little bit of time" list.....but I think you beat me hands down on the energy front .....:D . Errr....and you're a lot more tactful than I am:cool:

I have a "Do 10" system.

When I find myself with 2 minutes spare and I find myself picking something up to put it away, I think "do 10" - and I then have to quickly complete 10 mini jobs. It does just keep on top of things, even if I only do it twice a day... and the result is I never think of it as housework.

Looking around me right now, my "Do 10" would be:
- put rubbish in the bin outside
- fold up and put away the clothes on the chair
- empty door bin into the outside bin
- gather up the 2-3 plastic bags that seem to randomly be empty in the corner
- Tidy away the 2 pairs of shoes I can see I moved just 2' before (out of the way)
- put washing machine on (it's already full)
- get a wet wipe round the windowsill where little brown seedlings seem to fly in
- put cans into the recycling bag (currently stood on the worktop)

10 quick and easy things to achieve in 2 minutes.

You have a whole 2 minutes when you have nothing to do ?
That's typical of a woman sitting around with nothing to do.
