    Hi All

    Hugs MinnieMousesMummy. I'm in the same boat as you. It's hard to keep motivation with that lingering.

    I did well yesterday, I completed my whole list. DS2 went into his room last night and said "this looks nice Mummy" :T. I told him its his job to keep it that way now.

    After school today:
    Read with DS1
    Read with DS2
    Declutter table in master bedroom
    Declutter DH's drawers
    HH Declutter playroom
    Prep dinner
    Tidy kitchen from dinner
    Wipe dining table

    After kids In bed:
    HHI x 2

    Fingers crossed!

    Hi Thriftyglam. Looks like you're off to a good start.

    Fridge defrosted and reloaded, several bits of bedding have been twirled dry to clear the final dampness out of them and to make space on the line. Another load has just finished and I still have two more to go. *Sigh* Towels are festooning every available inch of space and I now have three more soggy ones from the fridge marathan. *double sigh*

    Dy$onning has started at the bottom of the house and the first level is done. Moving up ....
    Better is good enough.
