Thanks for this thread! It totally motivated me. I cleaned half of the room during ds's very short nap and then finished it up over the next hour with a few breaks here in there to read ds the various books he kept picking out.

Alrighty... :
I have finished the basement!
The basement is the play, craft area, laundy and storage closet. It also holds a TV, but nobody watches TV down there.
I decluttered, organised and tidied. I even swept and mopped!
Took about an hour

Im going upstairs now....:

dang it! I was all set to type my excuse, I thought 30 Rock was coming on but it's Wed not Thur! It would be my only time with DH today, but he's working still (works at home), so I guess I'll go do it...

Good job! I must confess I enjoyed looking at your before pics the most, I love to see a home as untidy as my own!! Now you've spoiled all my fun and made me think I have to get my ass in gear

No pics, but curses! I saw this thread yesterday and got off my duff and got my laundry completely caught up. I only intended to spend 30 minutes cleaning...I came up for air 6 hours later. Had an unexpected day off yesterday and today. Snow-days. Thank goodness I'm salaried, so my paycheck is not affected, otherwise I'd be losing over $125 a day and my kids do not go to daycare. I'm feeling bad for those paid by the hour and still have to pay their daycare provider. Now, I really need to get up and work on the playroom so we have spaces to put all the goodies my kids are getting for Christmas...

I need to find the camera! Hopefully this will keep me motivated. I always feel like such a slob when I go to other people's homes and everything is so tidy!! I know that they have a closet that they just don't open though!!!

Well Im almost done!
Thanks for the kick in the butt!.

I did not do the fridge, freexer or cubboards though. I have some commitment issues. I cleaned everything else though. I even went so far as to use backing soda on the ocunter tops and took out all the stains, and wiped down outside of the cupboards.

All the dishes are done, clothes and bedding washed and put away, closets cleaned out and tidied, bedrooms cleaned, basement, kitchen, living room, I tidied my computer table. I even got started on the truck!Everything looks fantastic! just dont look in my fridge or cupboards

I need to get my apartment together as I've been laying around sick for the past few days. I've just been caring for the kids, working, and playing on the internet when the kids sleep. So I'm off to clean.

Ack, my son undid all my hard work in the store-room, but I did clean out the fridge and do the mopping and vacuuming. I need to fold laundry, which was neglected yesterday and do today's laundry and make out a menu for next week, go grocery shopping, and buy a gift for my daughter's friend's birthday party.

I need to take my own advice. My house is a mess...I'm having a baby shower here tomorrow at 3pm, I need to finish baking and frosting sugar cookies for dh to bring to work, and I need to finish 2 knitting projects by x-mas. I gave myself 20min on the computer and am 12m past that...I'm off-


someone stop me from eating more sugar cookies, why do I love them, they just taste like sugar...and butter....no.more.

Great job, everyone! I love these kinds of threads, so inspiring.

No pics from me, computer won't cooperate but I will give 30 minutes of cleaning up and will come back with an update.

Okay, sidetracked...

Kids needed to eat. I need five minutes online, then I'll get cleaning!
