    Good morning all, thanks to fly lady central control for the organisation and inspiration.

    The frog thing is interesting because I have been reading a book called Housework Blues by Danielle Raine http://www.houseworkblues.com/ and have been using a few tips which include a similar idea to the frog thing. So in a spirit of being more positive and procrastinating less I have decided to organise my own lists (using many months of Pigpen's) and have devised a 2 week work cycle that fits my home and lifestyle better. I generally keep all the rooms tidy and they only need a deep clean once a fortnight, so here goes;

    Dailies
    [STRIKE] Make beds[/STRIKE]
    S&S bathroom
    [STRIKE] Tidy round[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Put on 2 loads washing[/STRIKE]
    Fold and put away washing
    Make dinner
    Do pack up

    Monday - Kitchen
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Scrub down the front of units and large appliances
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Clean oven and hob
    Wash windows and sills
    Degunge the fridge!
    Thoroughly clean the cupboard under the sink and the pan cupboard
    Run the WM's and DW's through a clean cycle
    Clean all the filters and door seals etc
    Wipe the back door down.. inside.. and out!!.. and scrub the cat flap

    Tuesday - Dining Room
    Clean and wipe the table, replace cloth
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Dust and deweb
    Filing and shredding
    Clear desk and dust
    Dust and wipe pc
    Wipe keyboard, mouse, phones, sockets
    Wipe woodwork
    Clean mirror, windows and light fitting

    Morning all. Up a little earlier today so might get some things done.

    Got to get the car MOT done, which will include dinner out so that's most of the day gone.
    Need to remember to have some breakfast, and trying to be good and not have too many naughties.
    Hubby has already done one load of wash. I'll check to see if any more is in or can go in.

    Middle son is back to swimming today so means I get the 1-1 back with youngest. Must be organised with tea!

    2xwm done, DS2 bed stripped (he managed to get about 20 bites on 1 leg during the night so not taking chances), 1 kitchen worktop done and I have managed to break the toaster.

    Popping to chemist & parents then will be back to carry on

    Count me in this week please!

    I've ordered some storage bits and bobs off ebay to sort out my wardrobe mess and to get organised!

    I also am cheating a bit today as I'm getting the oven professionally cleaned - with fostering 2 little ones under 2, I never seem to get chance to do it properly and hopefully I'll keep on top of it then.

    Catch you all laters x

    Thanks again

    Morning all :)

    Thanks for the thread FLCC. I am in this week. It's the first normal week in ages! Everyone is out of hospital, and back at school for a full 5 days! So, I have very little excuse. ;)
