    Can I please Join , I am 17 (18 on the 25th of this month) And am the worst culprit at home and work for leaving a disaster of mess any where and everywhere I go. The only thing I am good about is changing my bed covers quite often (roughly once every 5 days ish. some times more.) I have my own bedroom , not huge but enough I pile everything up on..

    So basically do i try to follow the list of things to do?

    Thanks guys x

    Of course you can!!

    you can do on each days list what is appropriate for you and add some bits of your own.. simple stuff like washing up dishes after yourself, remembering to get the rest of your laundry done not just the bedsheets.. :p Vacuuming, organising, decluttering and also time for study and exercise can be included..

    If you still live with your parents maybe the odd job off the list you wouldn't normally do would be appreciated by them.. I know I'd be delighted if one of my brood decided off their own bat to do something that beenfitted the household without me having to sand over them or nag them!!

    Hopefully we can help you develop some very good habits. :D

    This will be my first proper week and I am determined to do as much as I can without killing myself:rotfl:

    Been out for the day so intended to do nothing tonight but when we got back DS1 managed to drop a jar of pickled jalepinos on the kitchen floor:mad: Glass, vinegar and chillis all over the place so the cupboard fronts are now clean and the floor is mopped.

    Thanks for adding me to the list:D

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    I
    have had a phone call from the boys-in-blue - well one of them, checking location of incident and what, exactly, I saw. Apparently a statement will be taken at some point...

    ETA I forgot I am supposed to be going out on Friday night in Steel City...

    ETA and I suppose it might be sensible to write down what happened yesterday before I forget:o
    If you look on last week's thread I think you'll find you've already done it :p:D

    I'm kind of in this week, but doubt very much whether I'll get much done. However, the kitchen is now clean, the utility room pretty much clear and ready for the ceiling to be done so I just need to do some ironing :( and get the study sorted (move some furniture and get the airbed in and made up... well would you trust a 17 year old boy to bother to make it properly ;)??)

    Right!
    EITHER there has been an alien abdiction and they've swapped DS for a doppelganger
    OR there's a rabbit off!

    DS has gone to bed.

    at 9:30 pm

    without being [STRIKE]nagged[/STRIKE] asked sweetly.

    Since the back aches and the tummy aches and AF is ignoring medication on all fronts including the trans acid I might well go and join him...

    after I have washed the supper pots, that is ;)
