I'm in.

House is a tip so if you catch me slacking gently encourage me to get something done.

Valli - my eldest is only 14 - I think it was pooh
MOJT how are you today?

Right half way through the ironing so back to the board for me.

I'm in the I don't get on with my mother camp. We have a real personality clash and have done for about 28 years! I love her but if she wasn't my mother I'd have nothing to do with her, completely different values to me, I try to take her for who she is and have stopped beating myself up that we don't get on and just try to my best in small doses.

I'm also in. The house is such a state but hopefully I'll be able to manage a few things next week.
Can't fly until tomorrow afternoon because I have physio in the morning. In the process of emptying the kids swimming pool at the moment - the water is green (DH said last week after my injections not to worry about anything and that he would take care of everything - enough said).
Hugs to everyone.

*dances badly*

Kids back at school tomorrow!!!!!! :j :beer: :j :beer: :j :beer:

I am knackerered! Forgot to take before pics... but urgh it was gorss. However the shop now has white tiles a ceiling that can be painted, 2 clean microwaves, a clean fridge... and other stuff that I forget.... But they have an awesome cleaner! It melts grease, but burns your skin and stuff. :cool:

College tomorrow and DS2 at nursery. Packed lunchs made (trying frozen frubes (well, asda frubes) in their insulated bags to see if they keep things nice and cool, and fruit cups, Asda £1 beakers with apple slices and grapes, will see how it goes) nursery insist on healthy food, no crisps, sweets etc.

Clothes have been set out, mine are in TD to be laid out before my shower. Can't think of anything else... bags packed....

Oh! FLYlady would be proud of this!!! Coffee machine in the shop is a nescafe one and uses powdered milk and such. We were told it was broken and had expected to pay £60 to have it looked at and possibly.... over a grand for a new one! So I played about with it.... Turns out all that was wrong was that it was manky and all blocked up. So it's now all working! :j Coffee is rank but we will be filling it with better stuff. FLYlady style

Off to get food as DH and I have not had any dinner and I'm getting dizzy.

Hi guys! I have never managed a full week before and feel utterly ashamed at my inability to tidy my house......

BUT I have this week off work, and need to get on top of things before my new student arrives for the beginning of term (we are a host family for an A level student from Norway every year) so here goes:
