    thank you again for your comments.

    i have looked at flylady before but it was a bit full on with the emails for me to keep up! i do like the idea of days per room though, i often find i'm doing a little in each room but it looks like i haven't done anything!

    for now i'm sat with a glass of wine though :)

    Hi everyone,

    I have a son who is 3 and daughter who is 7. My husband works full time mon-fir and I work 15 hours a week which equates to 3 hours mon & tues and the remaining 9 sat/sun.

    I tend to have the following routine:

    Monday - first thing I hang out the washing and empty dishwasher
    After school I change all the beds and dust
    After dinner I wipe sides in kitchen and table, clean loo,
    Hoover and wash floors

    Tuesday - first thing is washing and dishwasher
    After school is swimming so not much gets done
    After dinner I wipe sides in kitchen and table, clean loo
    Wash floors

    Wednesday - first thing is washing and dishwasher
    Full clean of kitchen
    Hoover whole house wash floors
    Clean loo
    Wipe sides in kitchen and table

    Thursday - first thing is washing and dishwasher
    Full clean of bathroom
    Hoover and wash floors
    Wash woodwork and doors
    Wipe sides in kitchen and table
    Clean loo

    Friday - first thing washing and dishwasher
    Clean windows inside
    Hoover and wash floors
    Wipe sides in kitchen and table
    Clean loo

    Saturday - Husband is home whilst I'm at work
    He deep cleans the kitchen and bathroom
    I Hoover and wash floors when I'm home

    Sunday - Wipe sides in kitchen and table
    Clean loo
    Wash floors

    Everyday after school I make the lunch for the next day and put it into the fridge, I also feed the animals before dark and put rubbish out on Sunday evening ready for Monday. Sounds a lot but my routine works really well.
