hello and welcome to Le Foot and mothershipton! We are delighted that you want to join us!
I have just added my previous welcome message here to help you get started!!!
Make sure you read the first post carefully as it contains all the info and abbreviations that we use!
A new list is added to the 1st post every evening by pigpen our illustrious leader and by the weekend you will have been round the whole house.
Dont get stressed with the mess just try to do the list to whatever level you can manage depending on your home circumstances - work, children, OH's!!!!

Even if you only manage level 1 everyday when you come back to that room next week you will find it is easier and as time goes on it becomes more manageable and you will see huge differences - I know it sounds impossible but I can vouch for the fact it works!!!
Remember your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy in a day!! Dont try to do the whole house at once - you will tire yourself out and sicken yourself - we have all tried it!! BABYSTEPS - little and often and you will be amazed at the improvement.

POst what you have done and forget about what you missed - there is no such thing as failure on here!!!
The support, encouragement and friendship on here is simply THE BEST! ask any questions and we will give you our tuppence worth - sometimes sensible sometimes totally insane! We dont bite - well most of us dont - watch out for the full moon:rotfl: and have fun!!
welcome to the totally bonkers mad house!!!!

• Helped DD sort the mountain of junk under her bed
• disappeared when she got her bath bomb factory out :eek:
• prepared and munched tea (just got to go clear it all away now)

Pigpen - I will go tomorrow, I can just nip down to the path lab at the hospital (if I can find the form :eek: ) as it will be quicker than making appt at quacks

Soappie - I was thinking free firewood

Dusty - Hope your Nan will be ok

Toots - thanks for nagging

toochoosey - OH and I played all those games yesterday + boules on the beaach games and I won 3 out of 4 games so he wasnt impressed :rotfl:

Valli - at least you have done your banking, I've been threatening to do mine for over a week now :eek: but at least I know the credit card didnt take any hits this Christmas

frodders - I've decluttered 1/2 a box of orange matchmakers which were half price in Mr T (so I bought 2 and have hidden them )

greenbee - I'm in Kings Lynn but was brought up in Grimston a few miles away. Now work at Bircham. Do you have polydactily (SP) as well :rotfl:

DeniseNZ - I wish we were barbequeing on NYD, I hate winter and cold and miserable weather

Everyone re iron mountains - I used to have a permanent one until I put it all away unironed. Now only iron school uniforms and work gear or stuff when we're going out. It has made such a difference. If you fold a T shirt properly or hang a shirt up straight away its amazing what you can get away without ironing.

QOTD - well done on what you have done so far :T

Le Foot - welcome

Right better go see what damage has been done downstairs while I've been up here :rolleyes:

Le_Foot

:xmastree: :xmastree: Ha Ha !! Got it .Thanks everyone. :T I work 3 days a week, so need encouragement and inspiration to get organised so that my free time can really be FREE. My Daily, surface cleaning gets done o.k., but I do struggle with the drawers, cupboards, paintwork etc. etc.
I've got no kids at home, but an 89 year old Mum, and a 70 year old hubby that are both equal to a rook of kids when it comes to needing to be taken care of.

toottifrootti

WTG QOTD !!! (queen of the....? sorry being nosey!!!) you have done exceptionally well for your beginning AND you got Oh to help - excellent - shared work - much better!!!!

Just come home from a very successful and eerie Mr T trip - I walked around half the store before I came accross another customer - it was weird, and I kept feeling that I shouldn't be there! Still as a result, they had absolutely loads of bread reduced to 4p, so got 2x danish white loaves (4p each) and 2x Hovis Granary loaves (16p each). Also got a large pot of double cream reduced to 22p from £2 something!

We plan to make bread and butter pudding with the white loaves, so off to see if it has cream in it, and if it doesn't we'll have cream, cheddar and spinach in pasta for dinner.
