My weekly plan goes something like this:<br /><br />Monday - tidying, cleaning, washing clothes<br />Tuesday - shopping<br />Wednesday - people Thursday - helping out at school / Bible study<br />Friday - grandparents, morning off for me<br />Saturday - bulk cooking, gardening, washing clothes<br />Sunday - church, family day<br /><br />But that's just at the moment, it varies from year to year! And I'd like 1 more day during the week (for cooking) - the weekends are pretty frantic. Recently, work has squeezed out a lot of days too - it's hard to keep up with it all and people miss out when you're working part-time - but that's temporary.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538502318975037711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-54952838813744367722011-06-22T15:24:02.224+10:002011-06-22T15:24:02.224+10:00Ironing...yes.

In fact, it was a family joke for the 3 years we were in the UK that our visitors had used our ironing board more than I had. Funny because it was true! And now I only iron while I'm watching something on TV so I don't go crazy.<br /><br />I should say that the plan is really only about weekly housework (ie not the daily things and it doesn't include "people time", kids activities etc in the weekly list. We usually see each set of grandparents on particular days and I tend to see friends on Thursdays or Fridays. By allocating specific times I find that when people say 'when can we catch up?', I can give some concrete idea even if my diary isn't with me and it means people get to know which days are good options.<br /><br />Becmattnbechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885771993409495143noreply@blogger.com
