Why am I not surprised we have the same book. ;) Isn't it a great book!!

LOL!! :D I am absolutely loving this book! It has all the advice (and more!) that a homekeeper could want. I love the practical ideas and the "A little common sense" quotes. You know, I sometimes make running my home too complicated and it's not, it's very simple. :)

Thanks for this - I printed it out.

My organization really sucks and things go from bad to worse until I do it ALL on one day! :eek:

I tried the flylady but the e-mails just drove me round the bend until I was deleting them without even reading them!

So hopefully this will help?

Thanks again for posting it - When you get time perhaps you could post the whole book? LOL ;)

Anything for you Bev!! :)

I am very much a list person and I find that if I have what I am to do right in front of me it helps me out alot. I pretty much have it down pat now but just having that list printed out and on the inside of my cupboard helps. Sometimes though I have to do double duty to catch up my days!! :rolleyes: :D

Thanks Heather, I printed it out too! :D

Thanks Heather, for sharing this information.
I can't wait to apply some of the areas that are listed on the Domestic Calendar to my Daily,Weekly, and Monthly Household Task..

This is a great reminder, I'm saving it for future use.
Thanks :)
