    I have just transferred dates to new diary, and found that there was a week in February last year which read
    Mon Funeral 1.30
    Wed Kippers

    In my handwriting - haven't a clue!

    Will an organised house filter through to my brain as well?

    Moggins, I like your version, too - even if I suspect I'll not manage too keep up completely! "Pure" Flylady has me on my knees!

    Hi everyone this is my first post EVER so hope I do it right! Moggins I think you are brill - now I focus on a few tasks each day (your suggestions if I can) instead of feeling I have to do everything & ending up leaving it all cos I dont have time. Little & often works a treat! I'm looking forward (!!!?) to tomorrows mission statement moggins. Thanks to you & all the others who give up their time to post on this thread, you all seem so nice!

    Hi there

    dining room - done
    hall - done
    landing - well I've left the little bookcase outside the toilet. Think I'll mark this as a hotspot:o
    Kitchen sink - will shine once I get out of bath which is running now.
    paperwork - not done. sorry:o

    Off for my bath now and then to settle down to "This Life" the reunion

    Todays room is going to be the kitchen. Obviously you will all have different things to achieve but I'll list a few jobs that will get you going.

    Clear worktops and clean worktops thoroughly
    Sort out Fridge
    Wipe down fronts of cabinet doors
    Clean fronts of appliances

    Clean floor, whether by hoovering, mopping or a combination of the two.

    Shine sink
    Tackle one hotspot
    30 minutes of paperwork.

    If you have time then whip the hoover through the heavy traffic areas downstairs.

    Moggins - I love your method of posting tomorrow's list the evening before. I like to make my list of jobs in the evening the day before, and I have achieved so much more in these past 2 days than I ever used to; I need your list to keep me organised!

    Thank you!

    Ok, not quite got as much done as I had hoped, but I was perhaps being a bit ambitious. Felt knackered after the gym, so didn't do much when I got back!!

    Flis you've done loads. Remember babysteps so you don't get too tired and fed up with the whole thing.
