    Well I am up and ready to get to it. My son has gone on a school trip today, and it was a great time to discover he has grown out of most of his trousers! He never changes from school uniform in the evenings despite my comments so he only really wears his fave clothes on the weekends, and usually they are the same each weekend so I only have those to wash and get ready each week. So now I have to get him some new stuff as well as my 16yo daughter who wants new clothes instead of going to the Prom! I think later this week we will have to have a good going through of both their wardrobes.

    Well I need to get on and do some stuff, get on top of things a bit more.

    Well, that's my update so far.
    I was talking to my mum about the flylady thread (she doesn't own a pc) and she found it quite interesting and actually asked for a copy of the tasks to see if she could do it. She's lost all motivation recently, due to the ill health of herself and my dad's. My dad's health problems are more mental (he had a epileptic fit 3 Christmases ago which actually robbed him of alot of his speech, memory and ability. He now can't do the simpleist of tasks but has developed a bad attitude and can easily drive my mum to tears. Hard work is an understatement.) but everything has now fallen to my mum to do although I do help where I can.
