I plan on following this as close as possible http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organi...hallenge-day-1/
It wont work perfectly for me as some days look quite overwhelming but I think it will be a good starting point and will tweak it to suit. |

Sounds good but I'm afraid 20 days may not be enough
 Edited to add I just looked at the link above and I'd be happy if my kitchen cupboards looked like the before photos so 20 days definitely won't be enough but I guess you have to start somewhere

I just had a look at the website - looks good, but I would need 20 weeks.

QUOTE (ChunkyChook @ 29/12/2012, 09:39 PM)  I plan on following this as close as possible http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organi...hallenge-day-1/ It wont work perfectly for me as some days look quite overwhelming but I think it will be a good starting point and will tweak it to suit. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I found the first day overwhelming. If I had no other chores, it would be achievable, but I lost enthusiasm reading through her list. Maybe I'm just lazy. |

I'd love to give it a go but not sure I can do it in 20 consecutive days because i have to go to work.
I think our house is generally not too but but do struggle with things like bench top clutter. |
