    Dustykitten, Thanks for HHC It kickstarted me into action this morning.

    Monday - Levels 1 & 2 Done

    Tuesday - Levels 1 & 2 Done

    Wednesday - Levels 1, 2 & 3 Done
  • Nothing done yesterday - caught up today. Bathrooms done, showerhead cleaned (looks much better without that orange gunge!), family room floor cleaned & ceiling relieved of spider webs.

    Trying to feel delighted I've caught up - rather than guilty that I've not (yet) put the loose covers on to wash or cleaned the filters on the Dyson
  • :xmastree: welcome to the thread franticflyerSue56 you should have a pm in your inbox with some tips - well done with what you have achieved so far - just keep these things up to date and add to it and you will soon notice a difference - everything counts and get DH roped in as well!!

    (done to 381)


    Thanx, toots. DH is being subliminally involved:rotfl: I've been asking him to chuck out some defunct paperwork even if it's only for 5 minutes. He's such an obliging man!

    right this morning vanished.
    Who stole it? who did it??
    I finished cards for sunday - if I was paid minimum wage, those cards would be the most expensive EVER! I've painted, I've stuck, I've glued and sticky pads. I need one of them cutter outter doofers :rotfl:

    Finished the apron for my mum - no too shabby, probably no straight seams anywhere but looks okay... only stabbed my self with a pin once :rotfl: I'll do bookface piccies after sunday :)

    Bathroom? welllllllllll ummmmmm .... yeah in a bit.
    Just finished removing all the mess I created, so now I can go crack on in the bathroom.
    Declutterd fabric and pattern scraps and all the six tonne of craft/card stuff. Need to put back the sewing machine.

    Oh oh oh oh - and my lovely DH bought me a prezzie :) I have a matching peg bag, with a carabiner (matches my climbing kit:rotfl:) to go with me nice new washing line :) And for those that wanted more info - it's one of them flash wall mounted jobbies :T but it's peeing down so I havent tried it out yet. :(

    Hmmm mebbe I should do a HHC at 3 - I guess most of you folks will be on the school run then :)

  • paulies_nixie I'll join you in the HHC as I still need to get some ironing done and the kitchen needs a quick once over after OH has been frying bacon.

    Hi, can I join you all!! I have no motivation when it comes to housework, (or diets!!) and just seem to stumble around and do bit's and pieces :o

    All I seem to keep on top of is the washing!

    I don't have much time really, I have 2 1/2 hours every morning while DS is at nursery, which is more like 2 hours once i've taken him and picked him and and oh, done a bit of shopping on the way back!

    I go playgroup (for chat as DS at nursery- lol) on a weds morning, so ALL other morning's are so called 'free'! Obviously afternoons get taken up with looking after DS and preparing dinner.

    I also work in the evening (Cleaning :rotfl:) for 2hours and get home around 7pm, which is when I like to switch off, and enjoy the peace.

    I also Have a DH and 12yr old DD to look after :p
    :money::money::money::money:
    I love to save money
