Well, with school holidays and so totall chaos looming I have finally 'got around to' writting a routine. Ok, so my excuse of ' I can't routine laundry because of the British weather' fell flat on its face this week and I had to face that 'my way' just don't work. (despite a week of lovely weather I did no washing and now, with it raining constantly, I have to wade through mounds of washing!!!)

Every day I will do a 'morning routine' and 'evening routine' which includes b/room cleaning, tidying etc. In addition

Monday

House blessing - whole house.

Strip boys beds Empty rubbish Vaccum Dust/wipe switches/mirrors/ L.room window (dog smears daily) Mop kitchen

Tuesday
Wash load(clothes)
Paperwork
15 minute zone cleaning

Wednesday
House blessing (downstairs only)
15 minute zone cleaning

Thursday

Menu plan/write shop list

Friday

Pamper to destress for weekend!

Saturday

Sunday

Not sure how this will work out in practice - will have to try it and see!

It's a 'quick once round' basically. I've listed the tasks that I include under the heading of 'house blessing'. For me the big thing is to not go into 'overdrive' ie, when vacuming I don't do all the skirting boards, behind the furniture etc, same with dusting. Flylady recommend doing it once a week - you'd be able to stuff a pillow with the dust and hair that gathers in my house if I left it that long :rotfl:

HTH?
