    Hi FFP. I love your smilies and your siggy.:D

    Drea - Welcome:wave: Level ones are fine when you first start out or just some decluttering if you can't manage level 1 for all the gibble - you'll be amazed at the difference that just a few weeks can make.

    All my dailies are done today apart from the ironing - just waiting for the washing to dry a bit more. All beds made and covers washed, bathrooms cleaned and towels washed, whole house has been hoovered so some of todays list can go but what happened to the sunny weather they promised me yesterday:( Have used way too much elecy over the last few months with having to use the dryer as it is:mad:

    if its gone its done

    Tuesday - Hall, Stairs, conservatory/study or other neglected room
    Deep Cleaning
    Clean a bookcase or desk
    Move any furniture that you can and clean behind and underneath
    Clean some glass
    Decluttering
    Sort out another hotspot
    Sort out shoes and coats - do any need getting rid of?
    Catch up with any outstanding sewing jobs or decide they're never going to get done and get rid of!

    I've recently lost my job (although looking for another one has become a full time job) so have time on my hands and want to get this place in order! It's just me and the OH that live here, we only moved in 6 weeks ago (and still haven't unpacked everything) and the place is already a disaster.

    Welcome Drea, I recently lost my job too and know exactly what you mean about the time it takes and it's really draining. I finished 4 weeks ago and have been to an interview each week and had meetings with 6 recruitment consultants. I seem to have less time now than when I was in work.

    Good luck with the flying, it really helps. Gives you the motivation and aims, you don't have to decide where to start because you already have a list.

    Good luck with the interview tomorrow! :beer:

    Thanks everyone :) hope you all keep your fingers and toes crossed!

    Typically I died my hair (had blonde tips, brown roots for a while) and it's gone ginger... even stranger, I quite like it ;)
