Well now that is quite embarrassing! All my washing that was scattered all around the house in baskets and what not have covered an entire futon ( folded out) :o :hide: Who knew 3 people had so many clothes!

I think i will sort through it all, put all of our clothes in different baskets when DP gets home i can fold and sort while i chat about his day.

So far my house is looking better! i even managed to get all my linen washed now all of it is drying. Then onto the clothes and i'm done washing.

I swear i will NEVER leave my house this badly unorganised!

And i hope i have motivated others to get on top of their housework and re-organise their houses :)

I have to get back into getting organised, i am in the middle (literally) of organising DD1's room, have put some old toys on e-bay, bagging a heap of things they don't even look at that i was keeping for other people's sentimental reasons and then binning crap not even worth passing on.
I have still kept half a toy box of soft toys that were from special people or have meaning (ie. her 000 bear).
I bought 2 of the really big gift boxes today (pretty ones) and am using them to seperate her dora doll hous toys & animals from her barbie stuff (she's getting it for x-mas) rather than having 1 huge tub being tipped out and never picked up, these can go under her bed and only the 1 they need can be pulled out.
Am shifting a head of balls etc outside and passing down the younger toys to DD2 and going through her room tomorrow.

OMG why did i start the mness has spread into the hallway, am going to do the same in the kitchen next week and then at some stage ATTEMPT to tackle the mess that is the spare room.... EEK!

you rock, LMS!!

keep it up

:D

you got ALL that done in ONE day ???? wow.

(i am drooling - that you have a spare room).

:rofl: DP walked into the toilet and said "wow you did a good job i havent seen it this clean since we moved in!" :redface:

This thread really motivated me yesterday. I managed 2 loads of washing, a mountain of ironing (evil, evil task!!) and swept and vacuumed.

Today is general tidying of the living room/kitchen/dining room. And then some baking!

Tomorrow is bathrooms and nursery, and Sunday I might relax. Then to tackle the study/dump everything room next week.

Thankfully things here aren't dirty, just untidy!

I am sending DS and DH out tomorrow to do a big clean up. I need to rediscover the kitchen, laundry and dining room....
Mt washmore and foldmore take up the dining room, laundry, some of our bedroom and half the back verandah (with clothes horses) so i think that's why I will start.

Lms that is amazing amount of things to get done in one day!!
