    Hellsbells - just wanted to add my hugs for you, your pud and your girls xxxx
  • Im so in this time around.

    I really need some help getting sorted now that ive got a part time job some days im working either afternoons or all days.

    I only work for a few hours in the afternoon or 6 hrs when do all day but Ive not worked for many years and now its all "up in the air" and my home is suffering as I dont like " chaos".

    Thank you.
    Nice to have you back with us TPM - Try not to get too stressed about it - its bound to take a weeek or 2 get into new routines that work alongside your job - pigpen's lists will help you a lot - if you can at least do level one every day you will pull it all back into place. Dont keep trying to catch up just set yourself realistic goals on a weekly or daily basis - an extra task a day or something like that - all the ladies that work will tell you its not easy to keep on top of the housework too - just do your best - babysteps - and it will soon be all shiny again!!!

    I bet you had forgotten what its like to be in this mad house!!!!

    Peace will be mine

    Night toochoosey - hope everything goes ok xx
  • Well not a brilliant start to fly ladying. Poor old cat is very ill (kidney failure) so has had to have lots of love in her last few days with us. Kids are taking it reasonably well (2 girls, both autistic, 1st severely so). Have explained to them whats happening and that we have been graced with extra time to say goodbye to her.

    Have spent most of day in bed as have very sore joints, but have managed to do shopping. Well hopefully get more done tomorrow. :o

    (((Hugs hellsbells))) I have ME too, so know how you feel with your joints. Well done on managing the shopping :T Sorry about your cat x

    I'm beginning to realise that the reason I always have an ironing pile is cos not everything fits in the wardrobe / drawers :o :rolleyes:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Sooooooooo glad I'm not the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My drawers/wardrobes are full and i still have an ikea bag of ironing.. and 3 ikea bags of washing! :o:o:o

    (in my defence of the amount of laundry i am having to wash EVERYTHING we own basically as the mice got into one the wardrobes and some drawers so i have to wash everything that was in them ontop of the usual stuff)
