    Hi everyone, I've been a long lurker and finally become a fully signed up member :) Been flying on and off for about 6 years now, and have to say it's one of the nicest ways of keeping on track of the housework. I'm a virgo and definitely a list lover :D

    Back to school for us today, and whilst I shall miss the boychild, I can at least crack on with some of the housework, I've tended to just do level one all holidays. Such a lovely day for washing too. Can't wait to meet you all over the next few days and weeks.

    Aim for today:
    Monday - Sitting Room and Hallway
    Level One

    [STRIKE]Open the windows and turn on some music!
    Vacuum floors and sofas!

    Declutter the chairs, floor and fireplace

    [STRIKE]Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves!
    Sort out coats, shoes and bags
    Clean any electricals.. don't be frazzling yourselves though!
    [/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Check those smoke alarms!
    Wipe sofas, paintwork and dusty places[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]HHC in the hallway.. vacuum floors/stairs, wipe paintwork, fling those broken umbrellas and junk mail! [/STRIKE]
    Extras
    1. [STRIKE]Catch up on some calls/emails[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Binbag dance... grab a bag fill it and fling it![/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Clean fires/behind radiators[/STRIKE]
    4. Wipe the windows in these areas
    See you later :)
    I swim, so I can eat more cake...

    Hi everyone.

    After lurking all last week (no one can join in part way through the week can they? Please tell me no, it was my last week of excuses, lol) I am hoping to start on level 2 this week. Am looking forward to managing my time a bit better, and now dd (13) is back at school, and ds (3) is at nursery for 3 hours a day, I might just manage it.

    Will post my list later.

    Of course they can... there is no time like the present!!!

    I had a list as long as the M1.. now where did I leave it?!
