    In 2 hours we en masse are going out.. (35 of us)

    DD2 in shower..
    DS2 is the beginning of the shower queue.. once I have got him out of bed!
    DD1 has just been hoofed out of bed.. COCKADOODLE!!!!
    I'll pay a visit next then OH can be shoved in there too...
    The small creatures will be filthy if I so much as try to clean them already.

    apparently, according to the taxi peeps there was a murder down my street last night so the street is closed to non-resident traffic..

    Best go make a start..

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Area
    Level One

    Sweep and mop the floor
    Level Two
    Clean the hob and oven
    Level Three
    Clean out the drawers which house the cutlery and the big utensils (ladles and such like!).. I just noticed mine are gross!
    Dust and deweb
    Wipe over the units and large appliances
    Extras
    1. wash windows
    Joined in the HHC at the last minute - all the uneaten biscuits and pringles now put away in a cupboard and all surfaces clean and sparkling. I did the fridge on Saturday and the stock making on Xmas eve so I've not been as ptoductive as it looks. Floor later.

    OH has gone upstairs to tackle the ironing - he says he might manage to clear it for the new year, and as he is off all week and I am back at work tomorrow the job is all his. He may be there some time, he took food with him:rotfl:

  • Hello
    I really need to do this. Have a massive aversion to H.work but at age 50plus need to get over it. Tried once before but soon lost the way. I notice lots of you copy the list and repeat it when posting, is that to keep you on track and is it the best way? OH has taken teens out so I will scoot round whilst they are out. One of my problems is feeling why should I be doing this when there are 4 of us in the house, 3 adults and one nearly adult. However that attitude has got me nowhere. OH will help occasionally and does the washing up. Teens are responsible for their rooms and helping. DD is better than DS, whose room is frequently so littered no floor space is visible and he has the largest room in the house as he is in the loft! How often do you post, does the new list for each day go up daily and at what time? Here goes.

    Well that went erm...squiffy :rotfl: About 3 mins into my HHC my mum phoned so 40min later I haven't achieved anything except folding of the TD load :o Just going to have a warm drink and then I'll head back into the kitchen at midday having reset my timer :rolleyes: In the meantime I might sling a load of washing in and put CSI:NY on for company..its way too quiet without DD around!
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Welcome procrastinator. I'll give you a :xmastree:
    so toots - our official meeter and greeter will spot you and send you the 'welcome' PM.

    Basically, yes, pigpen (aka 'our illustrious leader') adds the next day's bit to the first post each evening. If you want you post your list and remove each job as you do it. Some people only post their list - some are a bit more 'chatty'. More chat than list and piggers gets out the fluffy mules and starts flinging them :rotfl:

    Hello
    I really need to do this. Have a massive aversion to H.work but at age 50plus need to get over it. Tried once before but soon lost the way. I notice lots of you copy the list and repeat it when posting, is that to keep you on track and is it the best way? It works for a llot of us to keep us on track and so we can see easily what is left.. and more importantly what is already done OH has taken teens out so I will scoot round whilst they are out. One of my problems is feeling why should I be doing this when there are 4 of us in the house, 3 adults and one nearly adult. I know that feeling.. why should I clar up their rubbish? hey all have arms too! However that attitude has got me nowhere. OH will help occasionally and does the washing up. Teens are responsible for their rooms and helping. DD is better than DS, whose room is frequently so littered no floor space is visible and he has the largest room in the house as he is in the loft! My 3 small pinks have the biggest room.. and the most mess.. annoying often I want to just go fling the entire contents of the room and start again. How often do you post, does the new list for each day go up daily and at what time? Here goes.

    We post as often as we feel the need.. quite often after having a half hour dash around trying to get as uch done as possible.
