    I'll join, because I need motivation to do it!
    I'll come back and write my list a bit later though - I need to get out of this house, just for a minute or two!

    Edit : Ok, finally on the computer so I can do my list!

    Theatre room :
    * Vacuum the floor
    * Pick up the toys that DS leaves lying around
    * Throw away rubbish

    Kitchen :
    * Sort out cupboards (plates/glasses/cleaning stuff etc)
    * Clean out pantry of stuff that's out of date and/or we know we won't be using.
    * Change the rubbish bag in the bin - DONE
    * Clean up the sink and pack the dishwasher - DONE
    * Clean up the bench and wipe down with disinfectant wipes - DONE

    Living Room :
    * Clean up the present table (That's the table we used to put presents on when I had my baby shower, and it's what we used as the table that DH presented all the flowers and such that we got from everyone when DS was born)
    * Throw all DSs toys into the crates we have in that room - DONE (Mostly)
    * Vacuum the little bit of carpet that we do have there

    Dining Room :
    * Fold up and put away the clean clothes on the dining room table
    * Clean up the bookshelf and get the cords that are in DSs reach out of his reach (He's good that he doesn't actually touch them, but need to get them out of the way anyways)

    DSs room :
    * Clean up his mega blocks that he's got scattered all over the floor
    * Change his bed sheets
    * Move the rocking chair from his room to DDs room (or the theatre if DH moves the playpen)
    * Sort out his clothes in his drawers (they're sorted, just not put away nicely)

    DDs room :
    * Put away all the clothes just recently washed
    * Pick up and clean all the rubbish out of our room that our 'boarder' had left behind
    * Get in there with the fly spray and get rid of as many spiders as possible
    * Vacuum the floors

    Our bedroom :
    * Make the bassinet up
    * Clean up the floor and vacuum
    * Sort out clothes that won't fit for a while and chuck them in the vacuum bags we've got
    * Make the bed

    Random un-room assigned jobs
    * Clean out the filth pit that is my car
    * Double check the last of the hospital bag contents
    * Pack some things into a bag for DS first day of daycare (9th Jan)

    Ok, that should do for now
    And this all needs to be done by the 17th - so 12 more days (well 11 more by the time it's read)

    So what is everyone's plans for today? I'm currently doing my daily washing which will need to go in the dryer as its raining. I plan to reorganise my buffet and hutch as it looks untidy and do the laundry which is a big job. No clothes in there but washing but its got a funny smell so it needs completely desanitising. In and out all day today so I'm not sure if I'll get to other jobs today or not. My bedroom needs cleaning a little as some clothes have fallen out of the too small cupboard I attempt to shove them all into.

    My plan in mop, vacuum, and do the laundry. Got a leaky tap that leaked all over the box of washing powder, making it collapse and most of it fall down behind the dryer.

    But not now... I'm having leftover chinese for breakfast.
