It was a huge rush at the end and I didn't get everything done that I planned, but my housemate said I did a really good job cleaning the house, her chap said we had a nice place and their date went really well, so I'm happy :) Thanks for the support!
Great job, Lucky!
Great job with all the cleaning!
Plans for Sunday
I plan to accomplish what I can today. If I only accomplish my routines today I will be happy. Plan of spending time with kids and family most of the day.

Easter Egg Hunt for kids -- It was great fun
Right now I am my DD's tech assistant. She is designing clothes for her doll dressing them and taken pictures. My job is to organize the clothes after each photo shoot. Right now we are in her Spring Collection and I am loading the pics from the fall collection.

Relax
Here at the hope-faith home we have had a very nice day. Did not plan alot did not attempt to accomplish alot just tried to be. Sometimes I feel guilty that on Holiday's we are not a family all caught up and doing the right things and going to the right places, but at the end of the day today we are a family that just loves to be together and it is nice not to have to rush here and there. Today was on a super down low and I am thankful that we have such a strong family unit.

Hrrm. Thanks to a combo of procrastination and things just taking ages, my list now looks like this. I've cut a few things out for lack of time and shortened some timings - I should still try to be quicker than this if I can.
Going to do lots of short tasks now to give myself a sense of accomplishment! All the 5m tasks first and then all the 10m tasks.

HI! :) I've had 2 days of total procrastination so I'm REALLY glad to see this thread here today - I have to clean the house from top to bottom and bake fairy cakes before the housemate brings her prospective boyfriend home at 6pm. (It's 9.30 am now.) Because I've procrastinated for the last two days, I have a very busy day ahead, but I've done some estimated timings and it will fit in the time. Just!!
