it depends on what you have going on as to how much stuff you get done, personally i carry my list over each day but if it doest get done then so what, if ive time later on in the week i will do it but if i dont get round to it, its not a big deal.

the first few weeks are the hardest as it takes a bit longer to do everything, next week its a bit quicker and easier and it gets quicker and easier each week going forward.

work out whats best for you as some of us work, some are part time, some have kids, some dont etc so what works for one may not work for you

Thanks Seafarers wife, think I may take the same approach as you, keep track of what I haven't done but no pressure if I run out of time/energy. My goal really is to complete level one each day so anything else is a bonus. I don't have work/kids yet but I do have health issues and NOTHING is worth making my health worse for.

Just a quick question for everyone about today's task... Are you interpreting 'sort the floordrobe' as dealing with all the clothes that get chucked on the floor OR dealing with everything that gets chucked on the floor??! (Don't want to feel like I'm cheating )

Ladies, I really need some advice on how to clean my oven. It is a really strange one with exposed elements on the top and the bottom meaning that its difficult to clean the very bottom of the oven because bits get trapped between the bars of the element. Any ideas?

seafarers_wife

Heebie Jeebies, can you not hoover the bottom of the oven before cleaning it?

Ive just decluttered one very annoying phonecall to next, charged for 2 x £70 curtains when only received 1 pair so they decided to reimburse me £35. how does that seem right to you? it does to them and after 20 mins of talking them through it on the phone for the 3rd time did it finally click with them. Ive a thumping headache now because of them so never mind.

On the flying front, OH has just given the kitchen a general tidy and put the dishwasher on whilst ive been on the phone
