right im going to go take the sheets off our bed and put them in the wash. i need to tidy and clean the bathroom, do the dishes, tidy the lounge and the kitchen and clean the worktops. Going to go do the sheets first.

i'm baking cookies to cheer myself up, then i need to tackle upstairs. the place is a health hazard.

think it might take me a bit longer than 15 mins though

charliebat · 11/10/2006 09:57

Mine will take lnger than that too. 15 mins blips with MN breaks in between works well
right off!

\link{http://flylady.net/pages/begin_babysteps.aspBabysteps} won't make you feel inefficient honest.

I have been doing it for 3 weeks now and have got some good routines in place, its bite sized cleaning really. The idea is that you deal with things as you go along so you don't have mounds of stuff to do.

This week is the kitchen zone and todays mission is to clean taps, yesteryday was to clear off worktops and give them a good clean, and Monday wash out the bin.
