Softly, softly catchee monkey!

Last night whilst DH was getting DD ready for bed, I had a swish and a swipe around the kitchen, including shining the sink ... it was so nice to come into a clean kitchen this morning with the sink gleaming!

Hello?

I'm scared. I wanna do this and join in, but my house is so messy, ain't nothing just needs a 'swish n swipe', its a good ol' scrubbing or nothing!

Any advice?

Glad nobody here's normal though, normal people give me a rash.

Hey there,

I kinda find that the lists are more something to head towards - it will be a long time before I get a whole list done in a day on the right day :rotfl: It might help if you pick a room to get to a level 3 state go from the list and pick up the extra jobs you see along the way... maybe? post your sucesses here and you will get lots of enouragement to keep you going!

good luck!

Afternoon all

Just sneaked a peek and as today is bathroom I shall join in. Every inch of the bathroom was scrubbed on friday so just a S&S of the shower etc needed:D .

Today I have done not a lot. I have tidied the kitchen a couple of times, tidied the lounge and booked a holiday for half-term in October:D .

Had more energy yesterday when DD2 woke us up 7 times in the night:mad: , think its catching up with me today. maybe a glass of lucozade will do the trick.

Currently 0 degrees here with fog - I thought the bad weather was behind us! Had a few tiny snow flakes this morning on way to school but few and far between. Off to turn the heating up a bit I am freezing but the thermostate says its 21 degrees:eek: .

Thanks to you all for your kind words of encouragement. Don't know when I'll find the time, but if I can just fit in the odd task here and there

I work full-time, and when I get back, there's washing up to do before I go off to my dance class (essential to my mental wellbeing!) then could do something when I get back I guess.

I'll see and let you know tomorrow how it went :beer:
