    Hello all :) going to start my flying this afternoon- just back from a nurses appointment.

    I have a wee problem though- i'm not allowed to touch dry dust. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do about that? Or do I need to try a mask?

    Cheers :)

  • Welcome - please, please, please don;t try and do everything at once, or you'll burn out and get nowhere :( Your house didn't get to where it is now in a week, and you won;t get it perfect in a week (I know - I speak from experience :o it took me about 3 months, but a year on, it's easy to keep on top of :) ).

    Promise me that this week, you'll do level 1 only, but do it properly. Join in a couple of HHCs (Half Hour Challenge - switch off the computer and do what you can for 30 mins then STOP and have a reward :T ). It's amazing what you can do in 30mins, if you put your mind to it :D

    Will try my hardest! Most of the level one today is my daily routine anyway, but we will see what we get done x

    Feed Fish M T W T F S S

    Weeklies
    Tanks

    God, not another one with fish! They are the baine of my life atm, its OHs new hobby and yet another thing for me to clean and sort :(

    Can't remember who had the boat, but they are a money pit, good luck with that one! OHds last hobby, turned work, he is a fisherman (can you see a theme here??)

    OK, living room/hallway happens to be a good portion of the house as living room is v v big and caters the dining table, the fish tank, the toy corner and half my stock pile, so nothing like being thrown in at the deep end!

    Not going to do an extras list as that would prob take the best part of the day to write, but dailies I can do!

    Dailies:
    Feed/ clean up after cats (3 are long haired, would be lost without my vax) M T W T F S S
    Post Office to post sales M T W T F S
    Wash up M T W T F S S
    Washing (I don't have a tumble dryer :( ) M T W T F S S
    Tidy up/ hoover living room after kids M T W T F S S
    Spend quality time with kids reminding them how much I love them M T W T F S S (might seem odd, but my memory often makes me forget that I have to do this until mid-afternoon when I have a sudden rush of guilt)

    Right, better get started on the list (its depressing to think some have finished it already :( ) Off to update the dribblers on my MIA, then will start x

    The fascia lads have arrived and started.

    I have done a boat load of ironing whilst decluttering some taped stuff.
    Will ask Mum if she can get W from school as the lads have the garage door open for power access.
    WM and TD both been on a couple of times and about to get swapped over again.

    Can i ask why? Gloves and a mask would be my suggestion! Or get someone else to do it:D I tend to hoover my dry dust up anyway.
