    What a fantastic idea !. I have let things slip really badly over a few months ( some things like loft space decluttering YEARS ) and as a result everything has become quite daunting. I think following this thingie is going to be a fab way of doing things little by little.

    I have decided to start off doing my own to do lists and maybe adding one or 2 things suggested for each day for now as I know what things realy need doing urgenty. Just a question - What is a frog list ?

    My do do list.

    Thurs

    [STRIKE]
    Unstack DW
    [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]1 load of washing[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean cuttlery drawers[/STRIKE]

    wipe down kitchen surfaces
    deep clean bathroom
    Pack clean washing away
    Dust,Hoover living room, stairs, landing

    1 hour sorting hotspot.

    Shooo, I think thats it for today. I tend to do stuff during ad breaks, so this will most prob take me the whole day LOL.

    Welcome Didi please read posts 1 & 2 which explains most things. A Frog list is 10 things which you have been putting off doing but usually only take about 10 mins each.
