Where to start..

with the big clean..as it it a new year I want the place sparkling, so I have written out a list of all the rooms & want to clean them from top to bottom, now I am looking at the list & feeling overwhelmed & wish I could get a cleaning team in, ha ha.

I am looking at the kitchen & see toys everywhere, there is a dinosaur on top of the pantry, everone all ways askes me why it is there..& its because it cost over $150 & the kids now fight over it, there are games, starwars toys, books & the list goes on.

Every room has toys in it, even mine from when they decide to go jump on my bed or play with my makeup, they leave behind the incriminating toy & then deny being there.

The kitchen is a big job as the cupboards & pantry need to be done also, but it will be satisfying & look great. The upstairs toilet & laundry should be done first as I can stack toys on the shelves when cleaned out, only problem is I clean the toilet everyday thanks to 3 boys & feel like i get nowhere, but once the walls & window is done in there it will sparkle.

So now to gets the kids sorted so once I start I won't have to stop when I get the rubber gloves on, at the moment I have one on my knee demanding I rub his back & give kisses, very sweet.

Oooh yeah I second that site, it's awesome.

Re the toys, I would go through the house with some big rubbish bags and get ALL the toys out of the rooms that they're not meant to be in before you start looking at the other stuff as it sounds like that's one thing that's bothering you and perhaps getting that out of the way first will help motivate you for the rest?
