You can do what suits you hun - I dont work on a monday now, so have my own list which I work through, which is dictated why which rooms are the messiest and need the most attention...
The rest of the week, I try to follow pigpens lists, crossing off whats already been done as they come up, and catching up on some of the new jobs shes given me... It depends on what works for you
Good luck, and welcome!

School BBQ was good fun - have a real case of CBA now though... Think ill read my book then go to bed!
Love hugs sticks and spoons all round...
PS - Blimey piggers - you dont feather your nest by halves, do you? Youve stripped every bird in a five mile radius and made the whole family feather boas! Well done you luv xxSometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

Frog eaten! :j Photos all printed out and put in an album ready for Friday. I was also going to phone a lady about the dog, but have just seen the time
Downstairs hoovered through after the kids went home. They use plates for snacks - and then tip them all over the floor on the way out to the kitchen :eek::mad: Pizza for tea (cooked by Pizza Hut :T)
Need to catch up on the lists tomorrow. DH is going camping with DS & DD2 (just one night) tomorrow. I am toying with the idea of joining them, as DD1 will be here with the dogBut I would have to be home for 8.30 for Little Miss Sunshine, so I'm not sure (assuming she is ok, as I have just seen on FB that she hasn't been well this evening
)

Hi all, been a busy bee here.
Washing folded and put away.
Rubbish found and binned from bedroom.
3 Frogs of money sortment sorted and to my satisfaction. Got a huge frog involving the Tax office and my mileage claims to sort but that will have to wait a little longer.
Plonked Firefox reminder on my laptop and have a list of jobs to sort daily.
Have to sort out DD2's operation stuff for next week....that's ongoing.
Also have to sort out the dining room !!! sheeet tip so she can have a room to chill in if her mates want to come visit but that's a way off, she'll be out for the count a while I reckon.
The bathroom still has no ceiling and is a dirty hell hole, I hope it can be sorted asap because my patience and my sanity are going.
Started to arrange and organise hubby's 50th for later this year, venue and band almost sorted, just got the bluddy dates wrong!!!
DD1 has a job, yippeeeee, working in a club behind the bar but its a job and I'm very pleased.
Happy Birthday Frodders.....xxxxxx

*sighs* I am doing rubbish again this week!
I finally tackled (or rather, attempted!) a frog this evening, but it seems even thick bleach will not remove the black mold from the bathroom :mad: Will go in search of that dettol stuff tomorrow if I get time on my lunchbreak. I did at least eat another frog, so 1 down, 1 attempted...
