Can I join in? Would like to give it a go for a week as I am killing myself trying to do everything every day!!
I am 34 weeks pregnant, work from home and on modified bed rest with severe spd. I am trying to get into a routine of doing a bit everyday, rather than doing the whole house every day. ( a bit OCD + nesting ) And hopefully I can stick to it when the baby comes!
So here it goes for my first day.
Monday - Bit of everything to kick start the week
level one
HH tidying or decluttering
Hoover and mop the worst bits
Level Two
Meal plan for the week - done
Collect the laundry and put a wash on/or strip a bed
HHPaperwork/replying to emails/paying bills - done
Level three
Give sinks and toilets a scrub ( ensuite + Main ) - done
Extras
Empty all your bins[STRIKE]Debt 2010 £74,000[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Debt 2012 £42,000[/STRIKE] Debt Jan 2013 £38558 Baby boy born 19/05/20120 -
