Oh Tinks ... have you visited my house lately??? I so need to do this and so don't want to! Okay, off to do it now :)
LOL no JustMe, it was the 1 thing I coudln't bring myself to do yesterday so today is the day :)
:lol: I did this yesterday but I haven't done my kitchen cupboards which Rouge posted yesterday so I will do a swap!
Ok, I'm slack. DD2 had a poo explosion and then I got distracted playing with her. Did I mention that I am the world's greatest procrastinator? :)
I have been stalking this thread for a while, just waiting till i cleaned out my fridge so i could join offically!!! Well I just have looks fantastic!! Although didn't take me too long coz I had not long done it!!
Off to clean out both bathroom cupboards!!
Thanks for the inspiration!!
oops anothe few neglected days
Go catch up on the dishes/washing/vacuuming that got neglected this week
Oh alioops you've read my mind! Been sick this week AND Dd no longer sleeps so today is major catch up day! I even cleaned out the fridge finally..
DONE! I'm exhausted.
Ok.. new task is...
Clean all your computers and TVs
Try and get right between the keys on the keyboard, and don't forget to wipe your screens
LOLOL! I take a cranky DD outside this afternoon to calm her down and I come back 1/2 hour later to find DP has done it all! :lol::
okies - this thread seems to have fallen by the wayside (which is a MASSIVE shame!!!), so thought I'd try revive it.
Seeing as I've just done this (so I get to escape any further work for the night ;) - here goes. If it's too late for tonight, do it in the morning =)
Apply any due or overdue flea treatments (or any other medication) to your pets!!! And kids/partners if they need 'em ;)
OOOOO, I've got one!
CLEAN OUT YOUR MAIL CONTAINER!
hehe, I just found 3 pens and a notepad that I'd been looking for!
Vacuum the couches
Take the cushions off and vacuum under them too. If you have cushions that can't be removes they are easier to get between if you sit down ;)
:
LOL! I got out of this one............... we don't have a couch YET :rolleyes:
I LOVE this thread would love to see it make a come back
vacuum couches - done!
Spend 15 minutes each in 2 different rooms having a little tidy up
you're on! I so need this ATM.
With the new year just around the corner I think we should get this thread going again....I would suggest something but it's getting towards the end of the day and I am procrastinating lol......
I've got one... If you haven't done it
TAKE DOWN THE CHRISTMAS TREE! LOL Guess what I'm doing for the next half an hour. ;)
one for tomorrow:
my new game is called "Ten Things I Hate About You"
the way you play the game is that every hour on the hour you go into ONE room in your house, you pick up 10 things that DO NOT LIVE in that room, and you deal with them - NOT moving them somewhere else in the house, but dealing completely with them.
eg: looking at my lounge room right now, I would:
* put the empty box into the recycles bin
* take the empty bottle, clean it and put it on the airer to dry
* take the 3 cups out of here and put them in the dishwasher
* put the books on the bookshelf
* put the toys in the basket
* fold the throw rug and put it and the feeding pillow at the end of the couch
* the the remote controlls all next to the TV
* put the wii step away
* put all DH's homework papers back in their folder and in the study next to his comp
* put the nail clippers in my top bedside drawer
the main problem with this game is NOT letting yourself get distracted.
eg: when I take the glasses to the dishwasher, if I see that the dishwasher needs to be unstacked and restacked, I need to not do it now (because then I will end up doing bits and pieces leaving the loungeroom lonesome).
I would put the dishes in the sink, and after I finish 10 things in the lounde, I will empty and restack the dishwasher ... or tackle the kitchen for next hour's 10 things I hate about you!! I have to be strict with myself on this, otherwise I go to put some receipts in their tub, and then I sit down and reconcile all our credit cards, start redoing the household budget, and then 3 hours later, the house still looks like a bomb hit it :(
what I love about this game is while you don't get the house spotless over the course of the day, you DO make a noticable difference each hour, and you prioritise the 10 kep things which will make each room overall look better :)
LOVE IT! :D
Here ^^, however, is my problem LOL:
I'm going to give it a good go though :)
You could also modify where you put things, for example you might always do your nails in the living room, so you decide to keep a small make up bag out there instead.
my QUICK! DO IT NOW!! challenge for everyone for tomorrow is to write someone a thank you note. It could be your DH/DP, it could be a child old enough to appreciate it (even if you have to read it to them!) or your mum or a friend ... it could be someone here on BB!!
but WRITE it now, and give it to them tomorrow (or call them up and read it to them tomorrow).
let's share the love tomorrow. I know I too infrequently take the time to tell those near and dear to me how much they mean, and how much they have made me who I am today, and who I will be in the future.
:loveshower:
