    Would've loved to have joined you moggins, but after what I pay for a real tree each year there's no way it's coming down tomorrow!!! The earliest will be Wednesday, although I admit everything else is coming down tomorrow.(Is this a good enough excuse to procrastinate for a few more days?):rotfl: :rotfl:

    Churchmouse I think everyone has their own traditions/belief in when to take the decs down. That part of the list won't of course be done by everyone I don't think. But that doesn't mean you can sneeky out of the rest :p
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well, I might have put it in a different way, and a slight kick up the bum too, but we're all here to spur each other on after all.

    And if you don't I'm telling moggins so ner ner!!! :p

    No skiving or you'll crash more than you fly :rotfl:

    OK I'm in too.
    If I am going to be spending most of my time at home in future I need to get it tidy and get into routines.
  • Right then...(she says with commitment):beer: :cool:

    I keep "saying" that i am doing these flylady challenges but i am determined to stick to this one!!! I have adopted quite a few of the concepts of flylady which helps to just about keep on top of the daily housework but find if i am out for even just one day the whole house seems to end up back at square one if neglected for a couple of hours:confused: I never get to do anything more than the daily stuff without huge effort, and consequences in another part of the house. ie behind int he washing, kitchen not done,

    Two young children and the www is my excuse:o

    I am hoping that it will be easier now as my partner has moved in and he is house trained:rotfl: We have spent the whole weekend sorting/binning tidying.....

    The house looks the best it has done since i moved in 6 months ago!! So hopefully if i stay on this challenge we should keep on top of it! Just looking at todays list, the only thing i need/can do off it is the paperwork thing, leaving the decs till the 6th. So off i go now...

    Ps thanks moggins:beer:

    OK, New Year, new start!!!! So count me in!!!

    Ive already taken my decs down, but shoulnt be too hard to find 27 things to go into the bin!!!
    Must admit, in the sales, i bought a basket ala Anthea for us to put our shoes in, we dont wear them in the house but no excuss now not to be able to find a pair when needing to put something out - in fact, thats my first job now, put the recycling out!!!!!

    Ok you lot. Get a wiggle on!!

    Churchmouse I hereby give you permission to leave your tree alone as mine is staying put until tomorrow (real one too) But all the deccies in the living room, hallway, door, windows etc are coming down. I am just off to tuck DD back into her bed as she is still tired and then the step ladder is coming out so I can reach the ceilings. It would be easier if DS was up as he can reach the ceilings without any help but not a chance as he was up until 1am.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
