Does anyone feel they need a tidying buddy just to help them document each small win and small step of progress? Join me if you do and just share your wins as you get them… however tiny!

Sorry you haven’t had any response so far.

I’ve done nothing tonight bar feeding myself and looking after DDog. Am totally exhausted.

Hoping for more progress later in the week.

1 made the kids packed lunches
2 wiped down the kitchen counters

Did a moderate amount of tidying in the Kitchen last night and hoovered our bedroom. Feel like I’ve got a cold coming today though and need to do some things before coming home so not sure how much I’ll get done this evening.

I use an app called Sweepy to keep on top of things - as I add a task I can set how often it needs doing, so it creates a bit of a routine.
