    *zippy* Dailies are your daily household tasks you choose which you do/have to do. Page 29 of this thread item 576 will give you an idea of mine, but everyones is different. Encouraged to try to include 1 washing load per day, and keep the washing up done and sink shining.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    kscour - I hope you're feeling better soon ((hug))

    Still to do:
    [STRIKE]Get dinner in SC;
    Check kids finances - youngest two DSs are buying a computer together and think they have enough to do it now;[/STRIKE]
    Bring in another desk to put said computer on;
    [STRIKE]Spend some time training with puppy;[/STRIKE]
    Spend some time sorting in garage;
    Clean ensuite;
    Get rest of groceries not gotten yesterday;
    Get sorted for back to work tomorrow :(

    Progress is slowing down since this morning. Rain has started and it feels like a blobby sort of day, now.

    Hiya Zippy
    Have you been doing all this for long? I'm on my third day, just, and loving it. A friend popped round tonight and asked if we'd been burgled as the house looked so tidy! Not sure whether to take that as a compliment or insult!!!!! Hope things are going well for you and you sorted the treatment room. Take care.

    Nothing left!

    First day to start properly is tomorrow, but I have made a start on a few rooms, I emptied out all the Christmas clutter from my treatment room, but it needs a good clean, one of my lovely ladies is a cleaner, perfectionist, been on the TV giving cleaning tips etc and she pointed out my cobwebs a couple of weeks go :o my excuse is I have a really high ceiling in there ;) She's due next week so its got to be done asap.
