    Hi
    ANother newbie wishing to join in please. I seem to have periods where I do really well such as this week where all washing and ironing is done straight away, washing up the same etc but then go through bad periods where I cannot be bothered or feel I don't have enough time.

    A bit about me: I am currently studying full time, working and also have 2 children to look after. At the moment I have lots of uni work to do and therfore have been priorotising that but want to get a better balance between the two. As this will be my first week and I will not ge in till about 6pm I am only going to aim for level 2 but with a couple of added things that I must do.

    Monday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining Area
    Level One
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Declutter and wipe work surfaces
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    Wipe units/appliances
    Clear and wipe a cluttered fluffy shelf!

    MUST do:
    photo at least 2 items for ebay
    help son to do homework
    clean out 1 kitchen cupboard.

  • Thanks to pigpen for the lists - without which I would be running around in circles - and thanks to soappie for all the help and support doing the stars and welcomes - and thanks to my back- up number 2 (AnW'sMum) - she's never far away xx
    I am in after a fashion!!! will concoct a list later or more likely tomorrow as I have ebay to finish before bed.

    I have posted catch-ups on the end of last weeks thread rather than mess up this one - I eventually got caught up - will try to do better this week - you are all inspiring me so must make the most of it.

    I am impressed by all the excitement to get stuck into this week's list - its nice to see that our new flyers are already seeing a difference - try to get the same amount of stars as you did last week and a few more extras done - if you are aiming to do level 1's then do them everyday and may be another job from the list as well - build up gradually and you wont find it so hard to maintain it week after week.

    love and hugs to everyone especially LadyL

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    done to 51

    LoLo welcome to the thread - have sent you a pm with a few bits of info - I will have to watch when awarding stars as we already have a Lo-Lo!!!!
    You are doing the right thing by aiming for level 2 and seeing how you go - your uni work is important but yes it would be nice to get a balance - we havee quite a few students on here so you are not alone and you can all stress about exams etc together:eek::eek:
