Welcome Chrissy! As larger families we often have very little time to post, so you will fit in fine lol

I made a timetable first. So the things I want them to do have been given times eg before school Make bed, 4.30 homework, 5.50 set table 6.25 clear table, 6.30-7.30 showers , 7.30- 8pm clean room, 8pm brush teeth, 8-8.30pm tidy house/read then bed depending on which child it is. I also allotted days to The older 2 for dishwasher and clearing and setting the table. These are all written on a chart for them to look at.
Thwn each child has a sheet which has their indvidual jobs and how much they are worth. So some jobs are worth 1 pt, some 2 some 3 etc. I chose the value according to how hard the job is. then I have the extra point section for the things I ask them to do that are not their jobs, like Jordan and the clothes line, bins etc. I can email you the file of the sheets the kids have if you like. Just so you can see what I did. Josh still has a clean room andthough h has earnt a few less points this past few days it is still working.

Been running around as usual, lunch out on Monday, the day out today buying ribbon and stuff. a million tonnes of washing and the usual house work. Feeling very tired and hot too back to hot here in melbourne.

hope you are all well
