    Hi everyone :)

    My husband and I share this log in, not sure what he'll think I'm trying to hint at if I join this thread:confused: lol.

    I really need a kick up the bum though! I've got two little ones (DD just 2 and DS 10 months) and find it hard to get motivated some days so this thread is perfect!

    Looking forward to tackling the kitchen and dining room (our playroom!) tomorrow, will have to be after toddlers in the morning though.

    First of all a big welcome to everyone just starting on here. Thankyou Lil-me for sorting us all out again. I'm definitely in this week as I can honestly say that i'm actually quite proud of my house at the moment. Believe me that's a first!

    My list for this week;

    Manic Monday- Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    Clear and wipe those surfaces, even if around things!
    Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
    Level Two
    Clean floors
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, wipe any spills
    Dust any other dining room furniture, check for cobwebs on the way round

    Level Three
    Wipe & replace small appliances such as kettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances, don't forget those kick boards
    Check those washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker hood and dishwasher filters
    Extra Mission
    Choose one or more of:
    • Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    • Wipe down any tiled areas
    • Clean the inside of cupboard doors
    • Clean microwave inside and out
    • Clean one cupboard out, what is that in there? anything out of date? Sort through it and clean it before putting everything back
    • Take mog to the vet!
    So that's it for me! Helping out at school for half the day so will try and do a bit tonight to get ahead. Oh!!!!! I did the floor today. How sad that I get excited. Here's to a good week xx

    Nothing left!

    I'm in again this week :j
    Feeling loads better, don't know what happens but i'm thinking it's the depressing weather.

    Hoping to do a level 3 and will start tonight once i get these monsters to bed. DS2 has pulled off DD tassels off her new bike that she got for christmas so he's in the bad books :mad: . Hoping i can get a new set for her as she was so upset, they seem to just push in so a bit of on-line digging tonight.

    :grouphug: to everyone who is stressed, feeling ill, poor wee one's and sick pets.
    :hello: to all newbies.

    Right time kiddies where in bed and i'll get started and update before bed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Hi guys
