I need - it or similar (and some "moral" support here on MN( to get me through it)

Race round collecting all the rubbish you can see and put it out.

Sweep floors

Everything else can wait for now.

Or stay on computer and do it all tomorrow? That's what I'd do.

lol scummy - I can't do it tomorrow, going out first thing in the morning, have no idea what time I'll be back, then have a meeting here straight after the DS's have gone to bed, then BF is coming round after he finishes work...

FAQ - away off to your bed. It is too late to be cleaning.

harsh but fair, cod.

  1. locate black bags
  2. chuck it ALL out.
  3. Hoover.

Done in three easy steps.

I cannot imagine why it would be so important. Just go to bed. Or stay here. But leave cleaning for tomorrow.

actually Cod my house is a mess because I've hardly had a chance to sit down for the last 7 days, yes I've posted a fair bit (but nothing like my usual amount) but most of that has been as I'm passing the computer.

Not to mention being the process of redecorating........

crisis cleaning

I am here but for a mo while I am writing a complaint to my Dss school - anyone want to comment?

??

FAQ stop expaining yourself, it doesn't matter why the house is a mess, only that you are not powerless against it.

Put a time limit on each activity. Picking up rubbish = no more than 20 minutes.
