    How long on average does it take before your housework got easier/less consuming and the house looked better? I don't want to start off with unrealistic goals, I think slow and steady will suit me better. I look forward to my 1st week of flying and getting to know you all.

    Hello Liamsmum, I am a newbie too. I have followed the thread for two weeks ('officially' joined thread last week) and am surprised at how much better my house looks already. You can do as much or as little as you are able to each day. I often do a few 'extras' of my own, and at the beginning of the week I write a list to keep me on track. The important thing to remember is not to beat yourself up if you don't manage to complete all the levels. Slow and steady wins the race.:)

    Pigpen, hope your daughter gets better soon and you are able to have a good nights sleep. My son used to wake up at 4.30am until he was 5yrs old and I know how emotionally and physically exhausting it can be. Try and make some 'me time' for yourself.

    Hope everyone has a great day x

    Pigpen - Blimey, you've got it hard at the mo, hope the naughty ones sort themselves out and that DD gets better very quickly

    I'm in again, after a mammoth sort out and clean up on Saturday I would like the LR to stay tidy! DR is another matter though.

    Thanks for the list JJ
