Right. Wow. That's a long list....
Actually, if I do 3 or 4 things off the list every day till the end of the month, it's all done. Not too hard. Kind of.
Plus a load of washing every day. Remember: Wash, Dry, Iron, Fold, Put Away.
Some jobs only take 30 seconds to do.
Some might take an hour. But I'll say on average it's 10 minutes.
Righto. Then next month, I'll start decluttering, since I'll feel better about being in a clean house to start.
Wish me luck.
Now I'll put in all my smilies I wanted to use, but they'd distract me in the actual list...
Okay, the assault on your eyes is over.
