    Thanks to all - Have been doing this for 2 weeks now and it's made a difference already! I now just have to spend a little time cleaning to keep on top of things, rather than feeling like I constantly have to to a deep clean!

    Hello, thanks all I am in but with my own mixed list too. this weeks main project is living room/dining room/understairs (darn open plan!) CHAOS needs ridding! I will attempt a 1 everywhere else. My place for everything list is coming together and will become more thoughts process than a rigid written list.

    Wilf that is such wonderful news you must be ever so proud! Has he been seeking sponsors? If I think of anything I will let you know.

    Right, sleep time
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning All

    WTG Wilf's DS!

    Welcome to all newbies.

    So far I've done a HHI, DH started to strip the bed this morning - he takes off his pillowcases so I strip the rest of the bed - but I can't do it before tonight as the electricity went off yesterday and DH thinks it was the WM so I don't want to leave it running while I'm at work and the electric go off while I'm not in.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    am looking for and have applied for a couple of grants to help but they are few and far between

    anyway

    today i have

    emptied all bins in house
    put wheelies out
    recycling also all out

    Well done to wilf's DS:T
    No rain, no wind - fingers crossed the roofer turns up.

    House not looking too bad so think I am going off-list.
    Went to look for a set of craft instructions and realised how much rubbish I had saved - so major bin/shred campaign underway.

    I just had my brief post eated!! :eek::eek::eek:

    I waffled as usual mainly..

    Everyone decluttered to school. DS3 and DS2's schools both wrinkled and moaned at.. both supposedly ringing back.. I'll not hold my breath!

    Kettle boiled.. baby up for a bath we think.. she loves having a bath. My bedding will be stripped in a minute too.. and I just decided I am starving! so will go foraging in the kitchen.

    Wonder if I will have a mad moment again today and clean out a cupboard again.
