    Our new couch layout – much easier for cleaning

    Well, I’m supposed to be working in the Downstairs zone this week but I actually got most of it done last week! We bought a new entertainment unit and replaced the old one and moved the furniture around. It makes the room seem much bigger but it’s taking a little bit of getting used to with being on the other side of the room.

    While we were moving everything we did sime cleaning – we vacuumed under the furniture and cleaned the walls. We also vacuumed the couch. The top of the TV cabinet was obviously cleared as we changed the units over. The new one has much less space for clutter to gather so should hopefully be easier to keep clean.

    There’s only a few things on the list for this zone that we didn’t do: rotate toys, filing, tidy shoes and clean window. I plan to do these this week plus a few things we missed in the Computer Room zone from last week. I also really need to find places for all of the things that got displaced from the living room.

    So here’s the plan:

    ♥ Rotate Toys
    ♥ Filing
    ♥ Tidy shoes
    ♥ Clean window

    ♥ Tidy computer desk
    ♥ Tidy off top of bookshelves

    So there you have it, my plan for the week. I’ll let you know how I go at the end of the month.

    Yes our Christmas Tree is finally up!!

    Ugh bad week last week, for housework at least. We were busy a lot and didn’t seem to spend much time at home. But when we did I just could not find the motivation. I had one day set aside to do some housework and felt like I was moving against the wind. I was getting stuff done, but so, so slowly. I think I managed to do about a quarter of my to-do list that day.

    But this week is going to be better. It has to be. I’m sick of living like this. I have a friend coming over with her daughter on Tuesday afternoon for a play date so I’m determined to have the house tidy for her. It helps that she’s a clean freak so I feel the need to impress her. :)

    So here’s the plan:

    • ~ Dust
    • ~ Vacuum
    • ~ Clean couches
    • ~ Clear off top of TV cabinet
    • ~ Rotate Toys
    • ~ Filing
    • ~ Tidy shoes
    • ~ Clean window



    So there you have it, my plan for the week. I’ll let you know how I go at the end of the month.
