Here goes…

It’s day one and I’m still in bed. I’ve coughed so hard I may have pulled something. It’s so painful. I know I’ve woken Chef a few times during the night, he’s had to be up by 5.30 each morning to go to work. I’m following the Flylady’s Beginner BabySteps How hard can it be? If [...]

Day one

I hope the New Year is going well for you, mine can only get better!  I’m determined to keep on top of the housework this year (again) and as I sit here, Chef has gone off to his brothers for the afternoon with the four children, leaving me to get things done. I’ve a mountain [...]

Works for Me

  There are many housework tasks I put off, but I’ve found a product that really helps me do the two most boring jobs in the world. Cleaning the microwave and the fridge. It’s called Dr.Beckmann ‘Rescue’  . My fridge stank of prawns, but after taking out the shelves and cleaning it with Rescue, the odour went straight [...]

Housework will wait…

I’m getting fed up with housework, so it’s time to get outside and enjoy the better weather! My front garden has been sitting half done for six weeks, still with a garden trowel sticking in the soil from where I left off. The girls have a half day tommorrow before their two week Easter holidays [...]

Not for the faint-hearted!

    I am getting a little behind in the bedroom cleaning/tidying department. All I can think of right now, is where do I start? No.3 has decided she wants to move into No.2′s old bedroom. So she moved all her clothes and toys in there. No.2 has also put all of No.4′s toys and my [...]

I’ll try this today

 I’m not a domesticated godess, but, I do like the house to appear in some sort of clean and tidy order.  I have Creative Homemaking on my links and look at it for a few minutes a day to get me into the ‘inspired’ mode! Here’s a way to get the children involved in tidy-up-time! I’ll put it [...]

I’m on a mission

 On a Wednesday!  I’m doing some serious cleaning today. Hubs is home, so I’m hoping he might take ours off for a few hours. I’ve done my homework and I’ll be cleaning bathrooms. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in. An hour of ironing, too and I’ll be happy! p.s. I can’t believe I’m saying all [...]

Bear with me!

 I’ll be trying a few themes and layouts over the next few weeks, until I find one I want to stick with for a while. So until that time, please be patient with me!  My plan to do an hour of ironing yesterday, turned out to be two hours! I’ll still do more today though. It’s [...]

My fridge needs a clearout!

 I try to give my fridge/freezer a good weekly clearout, but it never happens. So, today is the day.  Tips from hubby: From top shelf to bottom *Cooked and ready to eat food *Jars and sauces *Bottles and juices *Vegetables *Raw meat sealed  There’s something that niggles me if I see it in another persons [...]
