I Know Miss E! My MIL is the most organised houswife i know and she has a system of First week in Winter and First Week of Summer to do them. She's at home full time though so i guess that makes it slightly easier...that and her boys are all grown up lol.....
LMS - some great ideas here! For me the key is to do things as I go and then break down the big jobs to be done over a period of time. I guess our place often looks at the least surface clean but the organisational and cupboards etc is currently a work in progress. So I do clean the kitchen up after each meal, make beds as we get up and wash clothes each night. Helps not to get overwhelmed but piles of stuff - which bothers me. I also try to deal with mail/paperwork etc once. So I open and process/file and then chuck anything extra. Otherwise I end up with things everywhere and no idea what is going on. So we have a filing cabinet, calender/diaries and bills to be paid folder to do this. I also try to get value when I cook so will often roast 2 chooks at once with once for later or do a bulk cook of curry/spag bol to freeze and defrost of the days it is harder to cook. Keep at it and remember to focus on what you have done not the stuff still to be done!!!
