Anyone fancy one of those quick tidy ups - 30 minutes to do what we can?

[Sparkler1]

DH will be home in about an hour and a half. I've been out with dds all day and the breakfast dishes are still sat in the kitchen, none of the beds have been made. In fact, the place is a tip.

I need motivation to get these place looking respectable before dh gets back. I am worn out as dds and I have been walking all day - went on a woodland walk at Kingston Lacy House. Feet are killing me and I'm hot and tired.

Anyone going to join me for a quick clean up? See you back here at 5 o'clock.

Done mine this morning!
washed all floors, cleaned bathroom and kitchen, loads of washing and putting away, hoovered the lot!
very impressed

Hi I'm at work reading this but I thought it was nice you can be bothered to tidy up before your DH gets home. It's nice to care that the house is a nice place to come home to after a day at work. Well done for whatever you got done. Hope you have started now and not sat waiting for a reply !!!

Yeah good for you sparkler. You've asked for motivation but you've already got it. Sounds like you've had a nice day with your children too!

lol, Malory - me neither, it's just too hot!

sparkler you don't know how happy it makes me to hear someone else runs off out and comes home to the breakfast things

yep it's hot but I feel better - dishes washed up and kitchen tidy. Beds are made. Kids about to be chucked into bath.

I've done my 30 minute tidy up for this quarter so you're on your own !

Im about to start on my 30 minms

anyone about now

Dunno why - but posting on these sorts of threads definately gets me moving.
Off to bathtime now - honest

Ive spent 30 mins sorting clothes into piles for each of us(me and 4 dc)ready to put away.Will take hours to put in everyones draws. Job for later i think!!

ok - been really down today so will use this to motivate myself - going to set the timer for half an hour taht feels do-able. will be really happy if kitchen floor has been cleaned (sad monica-esque behaviour)

tortoise - how old are your four - I make mine do their own pile before they get in the bath - saves loads of time!!! older two help/do it for younger two

Mine are 9,6,3 and 2. Oldest two are at their dads for few days so i thought i would do it! I jut tend to end up with piles of clothes in my room once washed and dried.then cant be bothered to put them away.

Well my quick tidy up didn't last long. Pile of washing up again from tea, toys all over the lounge. Why do we bother.
