    My family so needs me to join this thread :D ..... I quite computerly challenged so hope that I am doing the right thing by copying the original list and coming back to edit it?

    Plus this site overwhelms me a bit, is there an easy way to find this thread again?

  • I'm feeling quite low today. I just got in, and despite trying really hard to do all the jobs on the list for the past 3 days, the first impression when I got home was a tip.
    I only have 45 minutes before I have to go out again, so I'm going to have some lunch and a cup of tea. I might just have time to unload and load the dishwasher. I feel like I could cry.

    ChristmasHopper - it seems everyone is feeling this way at the moment - must be something to do with the moon or something...

    Don't beat yourself up about it, you have done brilliantly since last week so don't think that it was all a waste or that you have got no-where because you have :T :T :T Well done you!

    We all have days where we have been running around getting everything done and then the family come in and ruin it all - have your cuppa and your lunch and if you have time do the dishwasher just so that it's done for when you get home... Then take an easy day today - everything will still be there tomorrow and you might feel better about it then.

    The thing to remember is that it will get easier and quicker to make it nice again once you have got into your routines and have cleared any clutter - Pigpens lists are not demands, just helpful hints to get us going. I have only been on here a few weeks but it has been amazing the change - but it didn't happen overnight or in a week, just gradually - take those babysteps we all talk about and you will be fine... (Sorry, hope that doesn't sound like a lecture, it was supposed to be helpful)...

    I'll second what Denise said....it does get easier. You even get to the stage when you can do very little for a week or two and the place is easy to get back to normal. Don't tell Piggy I said that though or she'll chuck a broom at me again!!! Hugs Christmasshopper xx

    Lily sue to find the thread again, I always go to the main forum page, scroll down, till I find the names, find my name click on it, (normally it is first on the list!!) then on all my posts and select the post I want and click on it.

    I am sure there must be an easier way, but this method^^^ works for me.

    Greenbee I love those icon thingy.
