    That sounds like a great plan ShoeGal:j Much easier to do things in easy steps, I am also someone who makes big plans and gets disheartened, so much easier to make smaller targets and reach them. I am going to pinch your idea of having targets just for August, off to have a think about what I can realistically achieve:D. Good luck with your planicon7.gif

    Thanks Sarah :A I always find you really inspiring, you seem to know what you want whilst I'm always dithering :o

    I know what you mean about needing to be tidier etc.

    I seem to spend ages on a Sunday tidying up and making the place look good and then do nothing in between til it all piles up again.

    I really need to get into good habits with tidying as I go along.

    I was getting good at doing the bathroom. I kind of followed flylady in that I would do the bathroom everyday. I bought some Flash wipes on a bogof and so wasn't expensive and everyday would wipe over basin, toilet and tiles and so it always looked good and didn't build up with toothpaste, soap scum etc liked usual.

    I'm hoping to start again once our bathroom is finished too.

    Problem is, we're trying to change ingrained habits of many years!

    Good luck for the forthcoming week!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Great turn around SG, noting your 'have dones' for the day is definately a good way forward. Also love the aims for August - you'll have no probs doing it!

    I swear I could be the authour of some of your posts!!!
    I too tend to pop to the shop for some milk and come home with clothes/books/dvds etc! Its a joke.

    I get my eyebrows and lashes 'done' every payday and thats not something I'm willing to give up :). I'll have to leave the pedicures til I'm rich (this time next year...)
