    Right, that's it, I'm joining in and making it official. I'm fed up with having to blitz the entire house every time someone arranges to visit. I'm fed up with living in a pig's sty, making every excuse under the sun ("something's got to give, and it happened to be the housework", was my favourite last year). Yes, I have a lot on (2 autistic kids 14 and 12, work, studying for a degree), but it's not impossible, I just need to be organised. This is MY year. I will prevail......but I might need help.......and motivation......BUT I WILL PREVAIL!!

    So, Monday:

    Level 1
    [STRIKE]S+S Kitchen[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Make sure PE Kits are ready for tomorrow[/STRIKE]

    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Get all washing up to date - including changing bedding[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Hoover through high traffic areas[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]HH me time (read a bit of my new book)[/STRIKE]

    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Family time (board game)[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]HH decluttering - crafting stuff kept in the dining room (get the feeling it'll be more than half hour though)
    [/STRIKE]
    Extras
    [STRIKE]Buy some food for shared lunch at work on Tues and some cheap wrapping paper[/STRIKE]
    Do a section of study
    [STRIKE]Take a photo of the garden for a 'before' shot.[/STRIKE]
    Get a bit of weeding done in the garden, since it's not raining.
    [STRIKE]Prepare 'Ready-to-put-away' clothes boxes.[/STRIKE]


    That should keep me going.

    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Right I am in this week. Want to get back on track in a big way. New year, new start. I really want to declutter this place rather than just try and keep it tidy.
    Will try and get some of tomorrows list done tonight as I am back at work on Tuesday.
