    Wash out lunchboxes
    Make a meal plan of sandwiches and snacks (bring children into this, they will enjoy having some control)

    [/STRIKE]

    Sort out one cupboard (anywhere in the house - you choose)

    Run hoover round high traffic areas.

    Do washing up before you go to bed tonight, shine that sink and spend 10 minutes tidying living room and plumping cushions before you go to bed.

    All those struck through are done :D (what do you mean MSE doesn't count as a 'hotspot' nor 'paperwork' ? If I don't keep up with it it soons gets on top of me, lol.
    No, seriously all of those have been taken care of, so I can head off to Ikea with a clear conscience..... but I should do more paperwork and coursework when I get home.
    Love to all, may you have extra power in your wings today.

    Morning all

    Mines a guiness - the dailies are those things you do every day that don't really need to go on a special list. Like washing up, doing laundry, making the beds etc

    DD managed to destroy the living room this morning so I have to also get that back on track before we head out the door to go shoe shopping.

    Happy flying everyone.

    Sammy it doesn't matter if you haven't kept up with the tasks. Just jump in on todays list.

    Morning all, How are you all?

    Well, I have made a decision. I am not going to make such long lists of things to do anymore, as I never get through them all and end up feeling despondent. So, am going to remember baby steps.

    I made my control journal up yesterday and actually did my before bed routine fully last night, it is lovely waking up to a (fairly) tidy living room and a shining sink.

    Also got a friend coming for lunch today who is staying for the afternoon, and Hubby is taking me out to dinner tonight, so not going to do too much.

    So, tasks for today:

    1. [STRIKE]Morning Routine[/STRIKE]
    2. Clean Out Rabbit
    3. Take out Rubbish
    4. Do 10 items of ironing
    5. [STRIKE]Go to greengrocers to get bits for lunch[/STRIKE]
    6. Cook Lunch
    7. 15 mins decluttering spare room
    8. 15 mins paperwork sorting
    9. Before bed routine.

    Forgot to add: [STRIKE]10. need to post 2 items. [/STRIKE]

    That will be enough for today. Good luck everyone.

    Morning everyone,

    Still not dressed, so havnt done much yet, but WM is on with DSs bedding, sink is still shiny and kitchen floor clean, after i spilt my cuppa this morning, so just catching up on MSE before starting the big wardrobe sort out. Im still struggling with the concept of getting rid of anything i havnt worn for 12 months, although i know i should. I posted on the daily thread how i have suits left over from my days of working outside the home and why im keeping them i dont know, but i really am struggling to get rid of them - hopefully today i will be brave and do it!!!!
    Right, better start before the day runs away with me, and i dont move from here or Saturday kitchen/cooks (i like them both!!!)

    *pick up 'stuff' lying around - there is SO much of it
    *change my bed
    *dust
    *wipe windowsills
    *vacuum
    *wash floors
    *hotspot - kitchen bench yet again
    *attack - er, sort - one cupboard - will do linen one
    Make sure DS4 gets to work on time
    Roast for dinner if it's not too hot.
    Pick DS4 up from work at 9pm

    Don't have to worry about any school things - school doesn't go back until February!
