Has anyone got a long list of chores that they try and do each day, and jobs they do certain days each week.

Help - I need that list. I just dont know where to start but I work well off lists.

I find a good place to start is by turning off mn - I just can't seem to get that far !

Turn and plump sofa cushions

Wednesday
Dust, clean and vacuum bedrooms x2

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Daily
One washload
General tidy up
Empty and refill dishwasher
Clean and tidy kitchen surfaces
Sweep kitchen and hall floors

Monthly
Clean windows inside
Properly clean stainless steel in the kitchen (e.g. bin, toaster, kettle, oven doors, dishwasher top, splash back of hob, etc.)

Thank you both. - Maybe we could keep these lists and add to them if we think of any thing else.

Right I am really going to switch off mumsnet for a while and get started.
