A FROG a week equals a special treat!

I'm thankful that I no longer feel responsible for the kids bedrooms....they are adults now, so other than putting clean laundry on their beds, I just keep the doors shut and pretend that their rooms are sparkly on the other side!!:rotfl:

Everybody tells me to do this but I can't!!! :mad:

I did the worst FROG yesterday so glad it is done, I cleaned the washing machine...omg yuk! gross! hideous job. I dont know why but liquid detergent does not sit well with my hotpoint machine - it was slimy and stinky ... making me feel sick just thinking about it

I have also joined the decluttering thread

After organising my freezer on Saturday, I have decided my next FROG will be...autumn-cleaning and decluttering kitchen including running down my over stuffed kitchen cupboards!!!

I do that for my eldest two aged 16 and 13. I don't see why I should have to clean and tidy for them. My youngest is only 7 so I feel a bit more responsibility for doing hers - though she's far more capable of doing stuff for herself than her brother and sister!

My frog is to get my prepare for winter list from 33 things to do down to 23.

Can I just say stomping out frogs is a great analogy for all those rotten tasks but have you thought about kissing the frogs and setting them free as in Frog to Prince.

You are supposed to line up your frogs and kiss (do the task) the ugliest frog first hence making life easier as the frogs then get smaller.

Kissing or stomping each to his own LOL

I'm finding it rewarding enough just to cross them off the list! It means I have less floating around my head.

And, I dont' mind kissing either

Tadpoles:
[STRIKE]Checking oil and water on car, and oiling locks etc[/STRIKE]
Drain water butt
[STRIKE]Send form back to church[/STRIKE]
Keep a list of emergency phone numbers
[STRIKE]Finish the sewing bits[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Book for agm[/STRIKE]
Froglets:
Finish pre-winter tidy of garden will need more sweeping when trees are finished shedding...
Tidy the tool cabinet
Finish stitching DS tiger (have some backing fabric and wadding now!)
Genetically modified Frog Monsters:
Mus!c Magp!e - will take an age, iPad app doesn't scan :mad:

Thanks for the suggestion I continue to dream. It took me a couple of days, but I now realise that you are absolutely 100% right - guilt free 'me time' during the day would be an absolutely massive reward - particularly as a glass of wine and a long hot bath are things I already reward myself for froglets and tadpoles - too numerous to mention. Hobby time during the week, during the day, would be a real reward. (When I was doing a literature degree, I felt guilty reading the set novels during the day! Puritan work ethic.) These frogs are monsters and have been worrying me for two years, so I need the reward to be really something!

Evening all, kissing my froggies has been sidelined, my 3 year old is poorly (only just got over chicken pox) ... a long night ahead

I've managed 30 minutes a day on 'Draft Cards' and realised why it's such a monster. Forget 'One a day', this is going to have to be a restart from the very beginning after I've cleared the accumulated carp from the files. I'm not sure I'm going to make today's HH on it as I'm dropping things and banging into things every time I try to do anything, a sure sign that I'm overtired. A day off, I think.
