    Moring all :hello:

    I've been flying already this morning :eek: I have this sudden urge/guilty feeling to do the housework. There are still dishes piled next to the sink (OH said he would do the washing up last night :rolleyes: ) and the floors downstairs need hoovering & mopping, plus you can almost write your name in the dust again :o But I've done the ironing this morning :rotfl: DD's skirt needed ironing for school and there was only another 6 items so I did them as well. Only took me 10 minutes :T

    Plans for today :
    • Dailies

    Mornin all, my day wasn't going well yesterday, wasn't finished the list at 9pm but went in the bath for a soak to wash away some stress, anyway while I was up there I heard the vacuum cleaner on, thought DP had dropped something, came down and he was vacuuming the sitting room and had done lots more tidying!!! I nearly passed out in shock!! Ok he did dump loads of it in the kitchen that he didn't know where to put things etc but he made the effort and I was very pleased :D Wonder if it'll last or if it will be another year before he does it again I don't know :rotfl:

    Anyway, I finished what he didn't do this morning, waiting for one side of the floor to dry so I can do the other. Can't start on upstairs yet as he's still in bed but at work tonight so leaving him a while. Going to concentrate on the dailies until he gets up. Then bedroom blitz, will have to use drier for sheets but needs doing.

    Aswell as the dailies, night time stuff and the list I must

    [STRIKE]Check through diary and calendar, make sure everythings on both
    15 mins paperwork sorting [/STRIKE]2 hours studying
    Disinfect dogs room
    [STRIKE]Post ebay items
    Local shop for nail scissors and dog bed
    Wash floor cushion
    Check emails, reply to request on dontdumpthat forum [/STRIKE]
    Thorough clean slow cooker inc metal pan, some nasty marks on that
    [STRIKE]Sort out seedlings [/STRIKE]
    Out tonight with DP and the boys

    Good luck everyone :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hi, I've missed the last couple of days but have already completed bedroom. It looks so much better. Didn't manage living room as had friend round yesterday but will give it a go later today. Still haven't managed to get oven door glass clean but have DSs 2 and 3 at home today so will ask one of them to give it a try for me. I will post my list later. I will also read all your posts later when I have my cup of tea.

    Hi.

    Things are going well and my home is nice and tidy and clean.

    Thank you all for the inspiration to get my life in some sort of routine.

    It seems daunting but once you get into the swing of it things seem less of a chore.

    Many thanks
