Rosepink yep we live on a farm, mind you the milking parlour hasn't been used for about 4 years now, PIL can't do it anymore but i know hubby would love to. It's taking that big step and doing it but if he took unwell then i would be left to do it. Sorry i'm rambling.:o

Two kids in bed and Rhys has started to roll onto his tummy to sleep. I have to keep checking him and flipping him over, i'm afraid something could happen to his breathing.

I have never been too good with being organised in the house and I suffer with SAD and depression which I fight as hard as I possibly can (am bubbly, cheerful person usually!)

The problem is, over Xmas my house has become a living hell. If a burglar broke in right now I think he would leave thinking he was too late, we've been done already

I have managed to keep the kitchen clear the past couple of days so that is a bit of progress but here is what I need to do...

Living room - complete pigsty, loads of things that belong in other rooms, presents strewn over the floor and table, still got a serving dish on the table laundry on sofa, dining table and chairs.

Dining room - as above

Hallway - Full of boxes re Xmas which at some point I will have to get into the loft (no ladder atm), a buggy that i do not use, too many shoes, coats and general junk laying about - can hardly get in the front door without falling over

Stairs, few things on stairs but this is the tidiest part of the house

Landing - awful - laundry bin collapsed under pressure so there is a mountain, a proper mountain of washing, probably some of which i could chuck as its not worn/used, also DVD player on floor (why???) as dvd doesn't work on it but video does, or other way round... cannot remember.

Bedrooms - kids - the horrors emptied cereal packet on floor this morning whilst I wasn't watching them - said cereal strewn all over floor. Children away for couple of days so didn't tackle that today but will tomorrow. Then usual, toys, clothes, beds need making..... etc etc etc....

My room - OMG it is soooooooooo bad - most clothes are out on bed, on floor, chair, everywhere... some needs washing, some clean :eek: Air con takes up too much room but i cannot access my loft, computer desk (tidy :T) but takes up space and cannot go anywhere else... Its all disgusting and I am so ashamed :o:o

Spare room - doubles as laundry atm!!!!!

Bathroom - heaving with half used products and general clutter, bin overflowing and floor needs a good clean. (sink and bath clean :T)


Please can anyone suggest a methodical approach to sorting this out because when I start, I get despondent as progress seems so slow and I see no end to the horrors.

I really would appreciate you guys helping me out with support to get all of this done so I can start afresh. Once it is done I know it will be easier but I have had such a tough 3 months (family illness/personal stuff etc) that its just got so bad I can't get on top of it.

Is it realistic to tackle all of this in one day? At the most I have 2 days to get it all done.

Many thanks for reading this
