Wow Scrooge, well done !
The test drive would scare me a little, but £90, brilliant.

Thanks DC. I really wouldn't have seen myself as a mystery shopper, but I have been doing about 10 a month for the last three months and i'm really getting into the swing of it.

Definitely gets easier and more lucrative with practice, but scary to begin with. I think it is great for debt busting.

Love family film nights. Packet of minstrels, duvet, Leonardo or Daniel Craig and the world is good Enjoy it.

scrooge2008

Yes, it's family film night, on a Tuesday, which is great. All snuggled under duvets, eating popcorn. Very MSE too.

Then it's date night on Saturday, where I go down for a rest for a couple of hours, get up to watch X factor with a glass of wine, while DH cooks dinner and serves it with candles. Then he gets spoilt.

I'm finding I need a slot for most things, otherwise something important gets neglected.

It goes against the grain though, as by nature i'm easy going, hippy like, rebelling against too much structure and organisation. But I needed to change, as life was getting too stressful and chaotic.

Fly lady Day 1
"I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if you're going to be lazy."
Conran, Shirley

After you do this; you will keep it shiny by drying it out after each time you use it and making sure when you go to bed that it is shining so it will make you smile in the morning. This is how I get to hug you each day! That shiny sink is a reflection of the love that you have for yourself.

Well October is here already. Could have done with a few days to recover from September, but it wasn't to be.

So on the target achieving principle - EARLY IN THE DAY/EARLY IN THE MONTH/EARLY IN THE LAST QUARTER, HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO.

Update: Not a particularly good start to the month. Feeling quite lethargic. DH was watching the football and I was tempted by the offer of wine and crisps. Appeased my conscience, by giving the sink a blooming good clean. It is immaculate and smiling at me, just the rest of the house that isn't. Still this is only day 1 of Flylady.
