Are you ready to create your planner? To start the New Year with a scrumptious plan to get the housework organised, so you can make time for all the things you would rather be doing?
There are no rules here: simply download the planner pages and create a schedule that is right for you. By all means allow me to guide you, but my life isn’t yours and if you find you can’t fit something in, do it another day, or don’t do it at all. It’s your house and your life.
This isn’t a dictatorship…
As more downloads become available I will post them here, so keep an eye out…
Well I know. You should never judge a book by it’s cover, but I think it is probably just downright fine to judge a book by it’s title and so I think the way my hand just slipped on to the Add to Basket button on Amazon is perfectly understandable when one realises that this…
Though those that know me might snigger at the next sentence. I am intrinsically sensible. And as I head into what my dad is referring to as my “middle age”, I seem to be getting more sensible by the day. All of a sudden longevity matters. I don’t want to tire of things and I…
Ah there is nothing like a new book or four to bring a teeny bit more joy to a lemon yellow Spring morning, which is why I was absolutely thrilled to hear Postman Steven using all his old man might to shove a couple of Amazon packages through my door yesterday morning… First on my…

"It is curious how many people have got the idea that to live a simple life a person must live like a hermit, or in a hovel, or in a bare room, adopt uncouth ways, and disregard everything either modern or beautiful. They do not seem to be able to get it into their heads…

This is such a lovely web site. It makes me grateful for this chilly dreary Saturday afternoon. I stumbled upon your site because I was searching for inspiration from others on how to get my housework into some sort of a routine. I'm sad, too that your links for the routines don't work. But I've bookmarked your site now & I've had a wonderful time perusing it. Thanks Andrea
Alison, I just stumbled across your site… and I LOVE IT! You Are a KINDRED spirit and keep doing what you are doing! Living aloud and flinging about and being real! It is appreciated! Jenny (Gypsy A, http://www.2gypsies.com)
PLEASE make these links available somewhere! I would love to have them; I have been unable to become a member of the vintage housekeepers circle as well. Do these need to be updated, or are they posted elsewhere? LOVE this site — it keeps me occupied for far too many hours…
