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;

[STRIKE] Tidy round[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE] Put on 2 loads washing[/STRIKE]

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!0 -

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 on0 -
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.

Count me in this week please - and thanks for the new thread. I'm at work (on my tea break just now) so I'll update later when I get home and get started
I'll have a wee think about my list today and put that in my post tonight 
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.
