    Thanks for that. I will have a look now before I turn the pc off. Otherwise I will come on here later and sit on the pc for ages and not get anything done again.

    I've occasionally joined the flylady thread, they are so supportive I really recommend you join them; I rarely managed more than level 1 but that was a great help in getting my house up together

    looking around me now I think I need to sign up again :o

    I tried doing this, I made a pretty list of rooms to do on each day of the week, put it on the fridge to make sure I saw it......and it makes me feel guilty every time I open it, because I put it there two months ago, and haven't started yet!

    Sneaky trick #49...

    You know how when you make an appointment to see the doctor? Or the hairdresser? And you get there?

    So make an appointment with yourself.

    On Friday morning at 10:30 I am going to tidy the kitchen worktop.

    It works, honest :)

    Thank you OS and everyone - Merged

    It's a heart warming read, and I'll add this thread onto the end of it later to help keep them all together.

    gilly1964 - I used to go on the Flylady thread and found it really helpful too. After a year or so I decided to stop going on the thread though because I found I was spending too much time reading and replying rather than doing!!!

    By then I'd incorporated the principles into my every day life anyway, so I can keep on top of the housework. None of my family would believe this, but now my mantra is 'a place for everything and everything in its place'. I used to be the world's untidiest person!
