    Hi, I would like to join you as well, have a 2 year old and the house never seems tidy, cant just blame him though as I find it hard to be motivated when it comes to housework and thought this might give me the push I need.
    Just compiling a list, then will get started. Can't believe I nearly feel excited with the thought of housework.

    welcome liamsmum

    please read my above post to this is it
    if I type it all again, my fingers may fall off (the backspace button is almost worn through as it is!!:rotfl:)

    funny how something like this can give you the motivation you need, and get you excited!! good luck

    Welcome liamsmum and this is it!

    Hope you feel better about things soon.

    My best advice is take it steady at first then it all falls into place and routine after a few months in my case. it took quite a while for me but now I am more on track and it is the Half Hour Challenges (HHC) that work best for me to see what I can do in half an hour off the list and it surprises me how much I can get done in that time!

    Good luck with the flying!

    This is it - massive hugs to you, just take it one step at a time and it will get better. I've been at this for ages now and once in a while 'stuff' still gets to me. That's when I tend to set myself a challenge and the (mostly):rotfl:good people on here support you! Don't try and do too much to start with and I look forward to [STRIKE]chatting[/STRIKE] swapping flylady tips over the coming weeks.

    Welcome to the madhouse Liamsmum - hope this thread helps get you sorted!

    Tootles - please, please, please take it easy. Massive hugs to you and thanks for all the support you give to us all on this thread! Thanks for the comment about my PAD - it's been a bit bigger this month after an unexpected gift from my dad....totally unexpected!

    Rach - hope your day goes quickly and you're home again not too late.

    Greenbee - hope the application for your favourite job goes well.

    Lil_me - hugs.

    I had lots more to say but i've got brain mush! Sorry!

    A client has cancelled this morning so i'm going to do some cleaning and then do some more of my assignment.

    Oooh nearly forgot - triker, can I join you on flinging 100 things a day. I've defintely got the 'chucking things out' bug this week (when haven't I got it!).

    Right, one wash on and it's pouring down so will have to dry in the TD. Dogs walked. Time to tidy! xx
