Fantastic idea, will start doing this, thank you Penelope penguin :T

Thank you for that! Now that my house is less cluttered, it's an easy job to do. I also have a larger basket in the hallway into which I chuck stuff that belongs to the other 3 penguins. They need to take away their own stuff or it runs the risk of being chucked.

Glad to hear you found your timer. I mislaid mine for an hour earlier in the week (found it when it started beeping :rotfl: :rotfl: ) and realise I'd be lost without mine now.

Hi all:hello:
Had a rushed couple of days so I haven't been on here but TA DA!!! I have a tidy(ish) living room!
Feel quite proud of myself:D

Today is clean up the dump day (it will also be family time because the DD's will be helping!) & also OH is working so he won't keep popping in with his mucky boots on.

I'm not going to make a to do list on here instead I'm going to pop back (hopefully) about every hour and report on what I've achieved & I'm hoping that will keep me motivated.

See you all around about 10am!

Best of luck with it kscour - sometimes a big blast at it is the best way to get on.

Morning you lovely Flybabes! Night Denise.

Like Baileys Babe I've not been around much this week. Just so busy I don't even have time to post. Pigpen - please stop counting down to Christmas as I'm now having panic attacks that I'll not be ready in time :rolleyes: Don't know why as MSE Martin says - Christmas always comes the same time every year so why do we act so surprised!

Missed a drunken TNG I see :rotfl:

Hex - feel for you, hate this stage of selling house. Lynz - where ar you at

Shop-to-drop / Dizzy :wave: Good tips Penny, I put a basket at the foot of the stairs to drop things in that need to go up and take it up when I next go - would like think I've trained OH to do this as well but I haven't

Currently recovering from too much wine at friends last night. Got way too much to do today mostly Christmas stuff like tree, cards, wrapping but will also try and do:

Daily:
Make beds
Swish & Swipe ensuite
WM
TD
Iron one load
DW
Calendar check
What's for dinner?
Post
15 mins paper control
15 mins emails

Evening
Swish & Swipe bathroom
Lay out your clothes for tomorrow
Calendar check
Clear hotspots
Shine sink
Wash face, moisturise, brush teeth & floss
Go to bed at a decent hour

And my house just needs a really good hoover and clean

Have a good day all. Punky x
