Morning all, I have just spent 1 1/2 hour cleaning out the fish tank. Never again, cleaning fish tank is now on weekly task list and if I give change a bit of water and rinse the filter it shouldn't need the major clear out. One of the fish looks a bit worse for it all , I hope it recovers, another reason to do a bit each week as I don't have to lift them out, Dam dam dam, I really don't want DS to come home to a floaty fish .
Anyway, striped our bed and cover is now in the wash, already done another load and sheet and pillow cases in next, thankfully it is sunny so far.
MacabreMe23, I asked that too when I first started and yes it is second nature now. The bedtime and morning routines just happen. It seemed like loads to to before bed but as you keep doing it, the jobs get smaller and easier to do.
I am still surprised every night when I go to get my nightie on and it is back in my drawer, every morning after my shower I take it upstairs as it was so annoying to get undressed at night and have to go back downstairs to get nightie off the bathromm door.
I wipe and pick up as I go along so that you don't have big mounds of stuff or manky things to deal with. I am three weeks in to the baby steps and after week 2 I had MIL round for lunch and she couldn't belive the difference.
I am looking forward to Christmas as I won't spend the week before just making my house presentable, I will be able to enjoy myself and do fun things like making mince pies with the kids, everyone will actually be able to see my decorations this year as they won't be hidden under a veil of clutter and dust.
