  • julie im debating doing my bedding as well as its so windy here, think im going to go for a HHC at 11 and will do it then. just stripping it, making it will need to wait for later in the day when i have the energy.

    MummyEm dont try and do loads in your first week and exhaust yourself! there is no point in gutting the entire house when you do a cleaning session, little and often is the key. once you get into a routine and it does take a few weeks and the first few weeks are the hardest, it all falls into place after that. baby steps, aim for level 1, then level 2 and if you have time try for level 3 its not a race!

  • Hi all,

    Can I join in again this week pls? I know I have been AWOL for 6 months or so ( lots going on) but need to get back into it. Have got OH on-side flying-wise & he's agreed to help if I print the lists & stick them to the fridge, so we shall see! Was lurking last week & made a start, but ready to join in again now if you'll have me back?
