    I don't do these, did the blinds and windows yesterday and they do the rest, so after the daily tidy I think I will have a trip to town, need to start getting some bits for holidays to spread the cost!

    Had a poor start to the week
    Monday
    Decluttered lounge
    2 loads of washing done & dried
    Tuesday
    Decluttered & dusted main bedroom
    Wednesday
    nothing other than 1 load of washing

    things have dramatically improved today as 4 weeks in I was worried I was beginning to get back into the old messy ways so have
    Decluttered, dusted, polished & vacuumed the lounge & wiped the lounge doors.
    cleaned the downstairs loo
    AND after he has been working on it for 3 days after school as it was so bad DS's room is finally tidy, dusted, polished & vacuumed - he was bribed with the promise of £2 to do it .....lets just hope he keeps it clean & tidy this time
