Spring cleaning, list making, or just plain procrastinating? Join us here!

Welcome one and all, especially if you love writing a great list, then sitting back and MNing crossing everything off.

And extra welcomes to those of us who write something we've already done on the list just for the satisfaction of getting to cross it off

I don't always manage the hoovering and when I do its a quick once over of visible areas rather than proper hoover! Sinks only because the toothpaste spit the dc leave makes me queasy. If I'm organised I sort the washing the night before. Oh and also because I have to be at work by 830 the dc go to breakfast club which cuts out a significant amount of time :-)

It took me a long time to get the this level! There is a huge difference in what I achieve now compared to when I joined this thread, jks and alibaba can testify to that!

Oh yes. When I had toddlers nothing got done!! School and preschool raised the stakes (and standards have slipped slightly again now I'm working!)
