House Rules

It's been a really long time since my last post.

By the way, I've started a diary recently. The feeling of writing is great!

Anyway, tonight I suddenly got the inspiration to write something about my own set of house rules. This is all due to the state of mess my house is in right now.

Here goes...

1. General Timetable

0700 - Wake up, breakfast, brush teeth, newspapers
0730 - Area cleaning
0740 - 2km run + statics pt
0800 - Shower, change
0820 - Set off for work
1930 - Dinner with family
2000 - Brush teeth, Work/leisure
2130 - Stop work, plan for next day
2145 - Tidy work area
2200 - Lights out

2. Cleanliness and Hygiene

Brushing of teeth should be within 10 minutes after consumption of food

Area Cleaning
-Bedsheets to be pulled, blankets folded
-Bins emptied
-Tabletops wiped
-Wash previous day's clothes

Tidying of Work Area at Night
-Tabletop cleared
-Bag packed
-Unused appliances switched off at socket
-Bins emptied
-Plates cleared

General
-All outdated worksheets, etc to be checked and filed nightly
-All unused books to be placed back onto shelves
-Do NOT collect random pens from places (they look messy in the pen holders)
-The above rule applies to random junk as well
-Magazines more than 6 months old/useless mags to be stacked and sold
-Compile info from leaflets in a book and throw the leaflets
-Keep all half-done work in bag/on shelves and take note of where you left off

3. Manners

Morning/Night
-Young ones to greet elderly
-Young ones to report to parents if they have anything on for that day/the next day

At the Dining Table
-Young ones to invite the elderly to dinner
-All to stop work and gather for dinner at dining table. No exceptions.
-Young ones to share about their day at school/work
-Strictly no TV allowed
-Handphones switched off during dinner time.
-Tell everyone that you'll be taking your leave when you're leaving the table earlier


This looks like a potentially long entry. I think I'll leave it for now...
