I have a diary for things in the weeks ahead and I transfer it weekly to a magnetic one that is on the freezer, I do this every sunday night for the week ahead. Can't be without either.

I've tried a weekly menu it doesn't work for me but I do have a list of our favourite meals so that if I'm stumped and looking for ideas I go to the list and see if I have the ingredients to make that dish.

I always get my washing in the machine early so that I can be having a shower, eating breakfast while it's washing. The night before is good also if I have to go out early, I just hang it before I go.

I'm also a watch wearer when I go out.

There are people who do not own a calendar? Yikes!

... not to say I don't have my slack days but we are all entitled

I think that if we are organized enough, we deserve to have a slack day! LOL At least because we got everything done, then we will have time for slack days.

Today is our slack day! We are doing the laundry but that is about it. We are tired and need to rest.

I did remake my weekly cleaning list. Each day is assigned a room to clean, each week is assigned a room to deep clean plus I have the daily tasks too. It has helped the kids.

I am just starting to use my yahoo calander.

I don't use a calender, but I do use a white board where I mark on it day to day event and appointments.

I recently opened a Google calendar. I gave the kids the e-mail address and the password I add everyone(5)’s appointments and then each one can check if someone else is available when needed. So far it’s been working.
