    Kitchen and hallway now immaculate.
    Ironing yet to be put away although DD3 is now doing it for me - she's 4. She would have no problem with all these challenges. She can already see clutter and hates it.
    Dinner cooked.


    Thanks for all encouraging words!
    I have 4 kids, youngest is 4months so am determined not to have a messy house anymore! I will do it!:j I will I will!:rotfl:

    Next job - decluttering dining table so that we can eat off something tonight. It is currently full of all of the junk I collected when I moved things around - definitely have a cosier room now though.

  • Hi guys

    Been back from work about 20 mins, I'm absolutley exhausted!! What a day to go back, we have about 5cms of snow this morning and I hate driving in it.

    Had a quick read of the thread so far, you've all been very busy peeps!

    I've already started dinner and put washing out to dry that I put in the washer this morning. I plan to do the kitchen after tea, quick tidy, S&S then clean floor. Then sort stuff for tomorrow & go to bed me thinks!!

    See you later
