    pics are a necessity!!

    and Bossymoo too.

    Anyone else want to join in?

    Brilliant, I can make myself do it if others are playing too. I think I will do before and after photos each day. Is Dusty/JJ/everyone happy for it to be done as part of the main flylady thread or do we need to start a challenge thread for the week like when Dusty did her challenge?

    I have made the boys start by doing some ground clearance on their rooms and the playroom :A

    It's Jue's week for the thread but I'm happy for it to go on the usual week as it is quiet at the moment anyhow.

    Need to make pudding for tomorrow, get the washing in, do the ironing, load wm and I think that is it.

    I'm going to do my room including decorating to get ready for new bed. Just need to get rid of my cold or I won't be able to gloss.

    Not too bad today. Although I didn't get on to 'the big job' of the LR, I've done lots of other stuff. Hopefully I'll continue to feel better and have more energy. Looking forward to Sunday.

    Thought I'd list my challenges for next week:

    Clear out bathroom vanity unit / storage.
    Empty my cupboard, clean, organise, put clothes back (had a sort).
    Sort top of DDs cupboard.
    Ditto DS.
    Sort spare room storage.
    Sort garage. Again.

    That's six, so one for each day, allowing for me working on Wednesday. The babies will just have to help!
    Eventually on Friday, when my mattress arrives, I'll move into my own room!
    it's ambitious but I'll give it a go!

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Good thinking Bossymoo.

    Hotspots seems to be the best way to go here as well. Sadly most of mine are whole rooms :o

    1. Our bedroom, inc the en suite to be
    2. Family bathroom
    3. DS2 bedroom
    4. Study (ha, junk room more like)
    5. Dining Room - has half the kitchen in, and a clean clothes mountain that covers the dining table. My ROD just like AnWs mum
    6. Snug
    7. Living Room

    We are out at least one day so I am sticking with seven rather than get cross with myself for not getting it all done. I must keep on top of the dailies as well.

    As I go along I will be making a snagging list for DH of jobs that need to be done with materials we have before he goes back to work. He will be working on the last bits for the kitchen this week - doors and drawer fronts for the dresser (George will be cross), and then the corner cupboard.
