i have been doing ten minutes blitz's all day but have come to the conclusion its going to take more than that!

my carpet looks like its growing things. ick!

main job(s) for today; vax carpet, wash up, sort out ironing, clean yard.

if i have time; tidy our bedroom.

8 mins and done.

This is cool, I've seen these threads before, I've never taken part.

I prefer these 10 min blitz's , they are much easier to cope with

I have blitzed the boys's room and have 2 bin liners to hide in the recycle bin! they will never know! and a big box of stuff for the PTA at school to hide in the car!

I have hoovered, cleaned the kitchen floor, done 2 lots of washing and wiped down the surfaces in the kitchen

DS1 has swimming at 4pm, part done dinner and watched Doctors!

what a productive day!!

Ooh yes please! Although, have you all finished just as I'm starting, or does it just keep on running???

Oh well, I'm off to wash the floors downstairs, however it works

Ok that took a bit longer than ten minutes, but upstairs and attic hoovered and my room tidied. next jobs are dust upstairs and put away clean clothes, will make a cuppa now and it should be about good to drink when I have done that. I don't know why but I find it a lot easier to do housework this way, kind of like a race.

I agree sockmonster, I feel it's like a race too.

Off to spend my next ten mins ironing 4 pairs of school trousers.

Ds2 will be waking up any time now and then my tidying may be slowed considerably, but until then... tidy conservatory and sweep floor.
