In my HHC I managed to

Make DS beds
Empty and reload washer
reload dryer
file some bills
declutter kitchen and living room
polish living room
label DS2 PE kit (the forgetful one!)

I am just typing up my sons' timetables so I know what things are needed on what days, so that I can issue gentle reminders about what needs taking into school AND BRINGING HOME AGAIN

Ok, results of HHC #1:

Tidied toys and craft stuff away in dining room.
Started peeling off the 100+ stickers that DD(2) stuck to our wood floors but gave up (ugh, bye bye varnish!)
Hoovered and washed dining room floor and hall floor.
Drank a pint of water.

Not too bad, now for HHC #2...

Well I started off this week a bit dubious about whether this was a good idea or it would make a difference. You have a big convert here now!

I can really see the difference in the house and I didn't accomplish all the tasks on each list. The house feels more organised and I have that more relaxed feeling when I sit down not looking at a messy home..

Shysarah - so glad it's working out for you! If you can get into the habit of it I think it's a fantastic system. A little bit each day makes an unbelievable difference.

HHC #2 achievements:

tidied, hoovered and washed Living Room.
Put a load of washing on.
Made a start in the kitchen :eek:

Thank you ladies

use mayonnaise, apply to stickers and leave for a bit, the oil in the mayo should loosen the glue;)

If you've no mayo cooking oil will do - but, because it's more viscous, the mayo stays put. Use a plastic spatula to loosen sticker. Hot (soappy) water will lift the mayo.

Valli, Thank you

Fortunately the stickers are coming up really easily, but will try the mayo and see if it saves the varnish at all. Not while the kids are running around though :eek: :rotfl:

Not a brilliantly successful day as very little done from list but have been helping DS declutter the cupboards in his room (which may well become ours again when he goes to uni) and sorting out foodstuffs/cleaning stuff/kitchen stuff etc for him. Need to plunder some of the boxes in the attic as I doubt I really need to buy much at all!

Dinner is cooking, the WM and TD(too damp now to dry) are on and there are only 2 more bits of washing which will have to wait until there is a full load.
