Ishtar

I'm here too....just a bit full-on at the moment with my 4 year old and a 6 week old baby! I'm certainly not very organised at the moment - it's as much as I can do some days to get us fed and clothed, without tackling the mountains of clutter, junk and general mess...

But, I've taken a leaf out of the flylady's book - I can do anything in 15 minutes, so I'm sorting things out 15 minutes at a time. Some days I do quite a bit, others (like today) I do nothing, but in general I think I'm getting there....

Hope everyone is doing well?

Take care

Im having to fed sooo much as she is always hungry and we have had a few infections which have ruined my milk supply!! so all da seems to be feeding and then spending time with the other kids when she is full.....

Thanks! Congratulations to you too...sorry to hear that you've been unwell and hope you are feeling better.

I keep telling myself that the housework will still be there when my little ones have flown the nest...(it's just not much fun sitting there looking at it all piling up!).

morning!

Sorry to intrude again, but it felt like a good place to post my good intentions for the day and then tick them off!

Transplant 9 seedlings to bigger pots
thin out other tray of little seedlings
1 load laundry
put away all clean clothes in laundry room
make up all fergie's bottles
caulk kitchen cabinet
3 thank you cards
fill old loo with rubble and soil and plant up
photos sent to P and in-laws
water all plants
ring re child tax credits

I'm sure I'll add some more!

Anyone else want to post a list to make themself feel motivated? We can have a treat afterwards!

ah go on, someone else must be sat there thinkin, I've got loads of jobs to do and no willpower :o:o

saving4life

yes thats me - def need some willpower, ds1 is at nursery until 1 and am 27 weeks with ds2. so should be whizzing around the house but here Iam reading about everyone elses organisation.

so before I pick him up i WILL
tidy bedrooms,dust hoover and put some clutter in the loft
quick whizz of bathroom, not too bad
dust and hoover living room
good clean in kitchen, must wash floor
if all done, make tea so can have a rest later

thanks-feel much more motivated now! :j
