Afternoon all! Bit late I know, but I'm here! :wave:

All dailies done. :T Fudge made, and I've been to town for the ingredients for my sister's vegetarian Christmas Dinner, which I'm going to start making in a minute.

Thrilling Thursday - Study/PC area and Bathrooms (OK, I know it's only Wednesday, but the study's still in upheaval after bringing the furniture downstairs, so I need to finish the new study. DS has been brilliant helping, in fact he's done a lot more than me.)

Dust PC and desk
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc

Wipe down window frames in these rooms (inside) clean any marks from window
Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!
20 minutes ironing time to get that pile down, and make sure you put it away!

Afternoon everyone! Hope you're all well. I've been having problems getting onto the forum so not been around much.

Life is busy here. Both children off with chest infections, spotty dog has a virus so she's poorly, one of my daughters guinea pigs had a tumour and was put down so she's devastated, the car has died completly. Apart from that .... life is normal:rotfl: . On a positive note i've not had time to think about anything else.

I've got a plan about cleaning the house. We've got friends coming round on Satuday and DH will clean the whole of downstairs for that. So, i'm just concentrating on upstairs. My main concern is the bedroom so i'm going to finish gutting that today. I'm going to have a little read of the thread and catch up now. Hugs to all xx

Well don't you think you should give it back?????:rotfl:

Gah I'm struggling here. I don't know whether it's tiredness, this cough which won't shift, a small child who seems to mess the bits I tidy just after I've done it or my back which is still giving me jib...but I just can't get motivated or going! I'm desperate for a nice tidy house, I want to know where things belong and be able to put them there straight away. But it's just not working, I can't be bothered, I'd rather just be sitting down doing not much...however then the house depresses me which just makes me even more down!

I was hoping lists would help me but if I struggle to even get the first level done then there's no hope for me Anyone got any inspiring words for me? Some stories of how they were depressed and miserable like me about their house but managed to make it all better again? I can't seem to get past the all or nothing thing, if it's not all tidy at once then it depresses me and I may as well not do it

Sorry to offload but I have no-one else to talk to *cue violins*. I keep talking to Mr G but he just tells me not to worry. I have about 50 minutes before I have to go and get the child I'm looking after for an hour, then the big children will be home, then it's food time, then I'm off out to weight watchers, then collecting them from my parents and finally back home to feed myself and collapse! Maybe I should go back to the doctors as I think I'm depressed but I really, really, really, really don't want to go back onto tablets. Anyway sorry for waffling again Feel slightly better getting it all down!
