Cook a huge pan of soup and some cakes for the freezer?

Bake bread?

Do all the bits of sewing - hems, buttons etc - that you've been meaning to do?

Get all the way down to the very bottom of the ironing pile?

Have a long bubble bath with a deep conditioner for your hair and a face mask and then paint your nails - not housey but you'll feel better!

clean walls

I tend to go around each room and make a list of things that need to be done in that room. Looking at it makes it easier to remember. I had a massive sort out 2 weeks ago when we were snowed in and will be doing more this week. Love a good organise! Last time I cleared out all the drawers and cupboards that get cluttered up with crap like the kitchen and bedroom ones, had a sort out of clothes and toys (ended up with 5 bin bags for the charity shop!) and sorted out the spare room which was full of crap.

This week I will be cleaning all my windows, skirting and doors, getting the spare rooms ready for xmas and new year guests and catching up with laundry.

It is sad how much I enjoy all this stuff Grin

stnikkilarse1978 · 19/12/2010 20:16

Ooh yes and I will be cleaning my oven and sorting the fridge and freezer too :)
