I say madness cos Spud says this when I jump up, "Mum, you've going crazy again!"

:roll

When this thread pops up, jump up and go crazy cleaning/decluttering/whatever for 5 minutes!!!

I don't usually post in these, but it's what I do, so why not! :grin I spend time on GCM, do some chores, time w/ kids, GCM, chores, and so on...

Anyway... in my 5 mins (or so) spurts this morning I've:
Laundry:
1 washed, dried, folded & put away
1 in the dryer currently
1 in the washer currently

Dishes:
1 load unloaded
1 load loaded and washing

Puppies:
Made sure mama would eat something! She's very tired today, so I had to put food and water practically under her nose to get her to do it. She perked up after that.

Bathroom:
Sinks
Toilet
Floor swept
washer/dryer washed on outside
Tub

That's it so far...

slow start for us today, but I look forward to this thread each day! so far, i've tidied up the bed to make it inviting later this evening and put away dishes and washed the next load (we do NOT have a dishwasher, so it's a laborious process to keep up with dishes :yes2); and then there is keeping up with my baby girl's nose (she has her first cold and feels terrible, which also slows down the five-minute challenge because she is only 8 mos - poor thing :cry)

i'll be back to post again, i hope, because our house needs plenty of five-minute things :smile
