    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

    Weather is still lovely. Wash no 3 on the line and lots done in the front garden. If the weather was good for a week I could get on top of the gardens and the washing!
