Day one

And here we go again – day one of the cycle. I would love to know how this is all working for you. So email me and let me know how it’s going! It’s nice to hear from people who are following this system. skipper@domesticguru.com.

If you are new to DG, and have decided to give this a whirl, welcome aboard! If you haven’t decluttered yet, I encourage you to do so. You won’t get maximum results until your home has been decluttered. Go to the DECLUTTERING and check out what on earth I am talking about.

This week is WINTER WEEK
And we will be doing tasks around a winter theme. Today we are going to warm the cockles of our hearts with a soup. Go dig around in your fridge and freezer for some veggies that could be used up, and make a rich and hearty soup. For ideas have a look at some soup recipes in my recipe section. When it’s done, pop it in the freezer for later use, or enjoy during the week for some healthy lunches.

Your focus room for today is: BATHROOMS
Set your timer for half and hour and set to work: pick the jobs that you think need doing.
There were jobs you did last week that probably don’t need doing again for a while, so pick new jobs this time. You are going to start to find that you are going to need to do less and less as time goes on.
