May Goals

This is what I have managed to do this month:

• Set up a cleaning routine for when I have managed to get the flat clean. (I have not done this)
• Start training the wee ones to do some housework as well (I have started training them, but they are not responding that well, I will need to keep at it)
• Keep the bathroom, wee ones room, hall and the entrance clean (I have done well with this, especially as there has been things happen in the month which made big messes in the rooms)

I have not done too badly this month, especially considering that all my cleaning motivation has gone away.

Stran time to get motivated

It is strange that the best times for me to get motivated to clean our bedroom is on a Friday or Saturday night. I think part of that has been that is when I have cleaned it for my step daughter when she stays over.

Though she is not staying over, the motivation is still there. I have still cleaned it as I just wanted to sleep in a cleaner bedroom. I really should be doing that every night.

I think that it will happen once I have got a system in place.

Cleaning the mess

Yesterday was a big mess to clean up. I started yesterday by cleaning the bedroom.

Today I spent a good amount of the evening cleaning the living room, hall and bathroom. I need to work on the kitchen tomorrow.

I really am going to have to get the wee ones to learn to play without making a mess. I really could do with having a wee playpit where they can keep their Lego, as that would help so much.

While I have accepted that it is a never ending job, I would at some points like to see the home looking nice all at the same time, even if it is just for a short time.

Mess

Eek, I have no idea where it has come from. It is like a mess bomb has gone off.

Neve ending job

I am feeling overwhelmed again. The living room is a mess, the kitchen is terrible. Thankfully I am keeping the hall, bathroom and the wee ones room clean, however my bedroom looks terrible and my wardrobe is full of clutter.

I need a plan of action.

Star Wars day

May the cleaning fourth be with me.

I am not doing too badly for keeping the place clean. It is a never ending job though and it does not help that I do not really feel that good at the moment.

Very tired

I had visitors today and it seemed that was just the motivation that I needed. I started last night when I cleaned the living room and cleaned some of the kitchen (well the visible parts)

In the morning I decided that I would clean the living room, hall and entrance. In the hall I moved the bookshelf that had been in the living room, took the books out of it and that is now where the shoes will be kept before moving the old table into my bedroom. After I had done that I was in a cleaning mood, so I cleaned the wee ones room (and I took the wee feet of the toy box as they were not much use anyway) once I had done that I continued to make sure that the living room was kept clean and I then did more work in the kitchen.

I did manage to get a little rest before I went into my bedroom and folded up most of the clothes (I only left some of my clothes, but if I do not put them away before I crash then I will do it tomorrow when I will finish off the room) I have also swapped the old tab le that was in the hall and have not put the TV on top of it. I think it actually does look nicer.

I am really proud of the amount of work that I have done today. Now I need to make sure that I work hard to maintain it. While my partner is good at cooking the dinner, he is not good at helping keep the place clean (in fact sometimes it is like having a fourth child)

It is so nice seeing the home looking clean. When I was looking at the clean living room, kitchen, hall, bedroom and entrance I could not help but feel good about what I had achieved. It was just like what I had seen with my visualization board.

May goals

These are my goals for this month:

1. Set up a cleaning routine for when I have managed to get the flat clean.
2. Start training the wee ones to do some housework as well.
3. Keep the bathroom, wee ones room, hall and the entrance clean.

 I think that will do for this month.
