    HELP keep me motivated.

    OK where to start....

    When we move i will have a clean slate and am hoping to keep on top of everything BUT i would really love to set out a routine for the cleaning, to get on top of it here and make life easier for myself.

    What do you do, how do you do it and when!
    Vaccuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms, bedrooms etc.

    I vaccum every 2nd day as DD1 has eczema and i don't want to risk problems with Asthma, in the new house this will be majority of the house as we only have bathrooms and kitchen to mop unlike here where 50% of the house is floorboards

    I got to Mothers Group on a tuesday (anywhere b/w 10am and 12 for about 3-4hrs), i have an 18mth old who loves to HELP and an 11wk old who feeds every 3hrs but generally has her last feed b/w 7 & 8pm

    I was thinking if i make up a nice little routine and put it on the fridge, all pretty and colorful this MAY keep me motivated.
    I'm thinking i should make Sunday my DAY OFF as this is normally the day DP has off and we can do family things, then i will do bathrooms etc monday to compensate?

    I do washing nearly everyday should i do it every 2nd day instead?

    MON - VAC, Bathrooms, Washing
    TUES - MOP b4 MG
    WED - VAC, Washing
    THURS - Toilets, Dusting
    FRI - VAC, Washing
    SAT -
    SUN - DAY OFF


    Thanks in advance, also if you see me on here for too long tell me to get off and get my butt into gear or ask if i have done my jobs for that day!

    So any tips on making things easier, what you use etc would be great.
