    I am going to try and join in if that is ok. I am a working mum and need all the help I can get with being motivated to do housework. I have been trying bits and bobs from the MSE website for the last few months and have really enjoyed it. I am so up for going the (almost ;) ) whole hog!!!!!!!

    Yayyy Brillo Moggins!!!!
    I keep learning to fly - but am much better at the crash landings ;)

    My house is worse than you see on Kim and Aggies (except for the dirt - I do mess, but frequent flying means no dirt) My keyboard currently keep freezing as there's so much clutter around it things hit the keys.
    Cooking is a nightmare because with all my new gadgets there's no workspace left - and there's no room in the cupboards for the gadgets.
    No longer can a 'pair' of sox be found - and the drawers once filled with perfectly folded clothes lie half empty while my ironing baskets overflow....
    You get the picture?
    On top of it all, I'm behind with Course work, and struggling with admin (and making decisions).
    So please, Moggins - crack that whip as hard as you can!!!!

    PS - any tips on 'managing' my time on MSE - it's so busy on here these days I don't know where to start, let alone finish.... and 15 mins every half hour just doesn't work!!!!!!

    I'm in... just need to clear the clutter from my sink area and basically wash up a weeks worth of washing up before I can actually shine my sink!!

    Think Wednesday will be my 'official' starting day!

    i will be flying higher, faster and stronger than ever before in 2007. ive barely scratched the surface, but it has made such a noticeable difference already, it would be undoing all my hard work to give in now.

    i doubt i will be able to follow the plan, as we dont have a "house", more 2 rooms and several cupboards, and a significant part of the attic. but i will take one section/area/shelf/cupboard a day, and i wont move on until that section is complete. ive won the battle, and i WILL win the war.

    looking forward to the challenges the thread brings. and moggins - many thanks for being a driving and inspirational force :j :T

  • My boyfriend says I should join this thread, see If I can pick up some cleaning tips and get motivated into cleaning our little home.

    I would rather get a cleaner in but that's not really money saving is it.

    Please I need all the help I can get. I'm not very good at this one.

    Thanks in advance for all your help, good luck in 2007.

    Ooh, I'm interested in joining in. As I was so far behind on all the other threads I figured i'd not bother! Ha! No excuse now though, fresh start and all that!

    You are NEVER behind. Just jump in where you are :)

    Woohoo - Happy New Year. 2.gif

    The first day of the new year has dawned cloudy and cool over here - perfect weather for a spot of cleaning!

    Will work out my to do list and come back later :)
