Friday's plan

Spag bol to make in SC
A wash load of towels
Swish the bathroom
Clean the kitchen and bathroom floors
Sort out last hot spot in my bedroom
Start soaking some paper for paper log making
Pick up two eldest children for the weekend


Despite my saying I was aiming to start reducing the ironing pile today, I actually cleared it all:j Found once I started, I wanted to carry on. It took most of the day, in bursts.

That really is a weight off of me, It was making my bedroom look so undtidy.

After two weeks of serious flying I feel that I have 'broken the back' of the housework, and can now start next week with some routine that will keep it tidy.

Thanks for starting this thread and giving me the motivation I needed:D

foreverskint, my inspiration!!! Between us DH and me have finished the ironing mountain!!! ( Well except for one top that was still too damp!) I'd told him your cunning plan, and when I started to flag he took over. Then it became a bit of a challenge, and once he gets the bit between his teeth!!! Normally it dries me mad but tonight I'm pleased as punch!!! So gratefull thanks!!

One load of laundry - DONE and hanging on clotheshorse
Wipe down kitchen surfaces - DONE

It's a great feeling isn't it? Never thought I would get so 'anal' about the ironing, but for the first time in months and months, it's not haunting me.

I know what you mean about the challenge bit. That's how I was today. Everytime I finished another small pile and had a coffee break, it became a challenge to keep going and going.:T

Now I shall NEVER let it get back to the monster pile it was.;)
