I will. Might not be able to post an update tho, is that the point of it, to keep posting back what you've done???

I need to wash dishes, clean kitchen from top to bottom as had an ant invasion this morning, vacuum, and tidy away clothes and toys.

Hate housework.

I can't really be bothered, dd2 was up most of the night after her MMR but we have HA people coming tomorrow to inspect the house and I can't have them coming with the house looking like this, i guess its not really really dirty but i want it to be immaculate, its about time it had a good going over and dp has taken the kids out so i can crack on so i have no excuse, plus the sooner i get it done the sooner i can go back to bed for a bit.

I guess it would be nice if you posted back what you've done, keep each other going but mainly its support and knowing i'm not the only person cleaning on a sunday!

Come FLY with us, we'll give you loads of support.

LoveMyGirls · 29/04/2007 13:12

I dont think flying is my style, i do do bits each day but sometimes i like to give the place a really good going over in one go.

so far i've alomst done upstairs, just gotta hoover then i can startr on downstairs which isnt too bad will prob take me an hour, then all the clean clothes and bed to make which will prob take another half hour or so. hopefully be all done by 3pm if i get back up there asap!!

You're going great guns!

I don't do wholesale flying myself, it's just a good way of getting the motivation to get stuff done. The thread has made my approach to housework so much better.

You can join us anytime and do what you find suits you best

LoveMyGirls · 29/04/2007 13:57

Thanks for the offer I may join one day.

I defy the Housing people to come tomorrow and not at least think this place is clean - i've just washed all the wood work upstairs

Just downstairs to do now (which is basically just a quick tidy, hoover, dishwasher, wipe and mop and i'm done!!) and my bed to make (could do with fixing the bedside drawers but thats a job for dp when he gets home
