So far i've managed to phone Doctors and sweep the floors!! Oh and empty dishwasher and put some washing on! Had friends round all morning so thats my excuse. Me and the little un have had our lunch so having 15 minutes computer time then flying before have to do school pick up. Still not found keys. Slightly worried now so off to search bin and toys boxes (much the same! Full of cr*p!) Wish me luck.If music be the food of love then play on"No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow". ღ ~Maya AngelouDoing it for my kids.

This much done before work as well as laundry and washing up from breakfast. I made the pretend Mcmuffins this morning - they were just like the real thing (except that it took 3/4 of an hour to make
- I've said they can be a weekend treat in future!).
Will do the rest after work. Already can see a massive difference in the house though - Thanks all!!:jSealed Pot Challenge - member 1109:j0 -

Sorry for butting in... I would love to join this, I have been reading here on and off for a couple of years with every intention to get our lives sorted in regards to household living as well as expenses we waste / spend. I was a member a couple of years ago to but never kept up with the site much to my embarrassment.
Can I ask a couple of things?
Could I use this thread to make a list myself incorporating the one on the OP and use that list for me to keep referring to? I mean I make lists at home, I am the list Queen..lol but I just think if it was "Out there" I would be more inclined not to be such a lazy bum about it all. I am looking for a part time job so I really want to learn a routine before I get one. I have been doing what I call "deep cleaning" this week already. I did my kitchen cupboards, cleaned everywhere, I had to, I had weevils
:( So everything has been hoovered, scrubbed and bleached in the kitchen. I did the window in there also, inside and out..and last night I soaked the insides of my oven in soda crystals in the bath and this morning cleaned out the oven and put it all back together, I still want to get the microwave done today though 
Wow ramble! sorry lol.
I think this thread is such an inspiration, you ladies and guys! Motivate soooo many people. Thank you
