My house is a tip and I have pursuaded DH to take the kids to his Mums tomorrow so I can get cracking with it.
Sorry I know this is a bit long but would really appriciate some advice on how to get it sorted.
When I say a tip, I mean it is REALLY bad. Its not fair on the kids to keep it like this.
I don't know where to start. No way I can get it done tomorrow as there is far more than a days work here, so want to make the most of my time.
Can't decide:
Either sort out upstairs, so the girls have a lovely space to play in their rooms, and I could get the whole of upstairs done in one day, and get all the new Christmas presents that are messing up downstairs put up there. That way at least I can hang out up there with the kids in the day, and then sort out downstairs at nap times. AND I could then make space for a travel cot in our room as sometimes the kids nap time clashes (They share a room), and i want DD2 to get used to sleeping in one too.
OR I could do downstairs, so at least if people come over they are not disgusted (at the moment, I don't even like opening the door ). But then it might not all get done in one day, and all the toys etc still wont have a place.
I don't want to split it up and do both really as I get quite disheartened if nothing is finished iyswim? I like DH and the kids to come home and say "wow" at least part of the house. If I just do half hour in each room, it still seems a mess at the end of the day and I get fed up and loose motivation.
