Just eating strawberries and ice-cream!

Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC 6.15 - 6.45?

Hugs for those feeling down at their achievements. I don't know if any of you read my post at the end of last week when I did get 5 stars (a rare occassion), I felt depressed by it.

I know it is easy to say but there really is more to life than completing a list (which somebody else has created) of jobs for you to do. I can't fly and have a life, I accept that so some weeks I fly and others I get a life. Some can do both I know but not me.

If you have a child at home pre school years then please enjoy them - believe me there is just as much to do once they are at school but those days with them are gone.

:T:T:T:T:T Too true. My house proves that I enjoy my children rather than do my housework:rotfl::rotfl:

Level 1 for today finished! also have binbag full for charity shop - now I have to remember to take it tomorrow...I know! I remember flylady herself used to say to put it straight into the car- I'm in town tomorrow so hopefully that will work.

thats the way - get rid before you change your mind!!! you may have to get help with the mattress then. we dont want you getting squashed under it if it falls the wrong way!!!!:eek:

feel free to ignore this, i just need to let it out or im gonna go bonkers, im so stressed, fed up ect ect. I ve been running my little a**e off all day doing bits and bobs and feel that its all amounted to nothing, nothing looks better the house is still a s**t tip and the garden well.............i going to write down now what ive actually done

Dont you dare apologise for feeling like that - we have all been there - but as the others have said LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE - not what you still have to do - be VERY proud of what you have acheived - would you have done it if you werent here? I dont know but you work, have a wee one and keep house - its not easy to keep it all ticking over - just be patient angel - BABY STEPS -in another 3/4 weeks you will think differently - try to keep doing the lists and it will get easier every week which will leave you time to more bits and look after LO. (((hugs)))
just seen that you are in tears - honey its overwhelming you so stop trying to do SO much - take a step back and from tomorrow just concentrate on one area - not a whole room - having time with Lo is far more important than cleaning so do the necessary bits and forget the rest - Sarah's advice is spot and you could try AnW's Mum's dot 2 dot approach too until you feel better.

My DD3 was in the egg and spoon race today. She didn't drop her egg once.... she felt that she'd won the race because of that. She wasn't in the least concerned that she didn't cross the line first. :j

White sofa cover washed yesterday is dirty again :rolleyes: I know what you will all say, but I was given it, I wouldn't choose white with a 22 month old :eek:

Have you thought about dying it? You can have it whatever colour you want then - just put the right amount of dye in the machine when you wash it next.

Hi Hon, how are you? How's the kitchen?

Well, not much done here - my TV is bu88ered and I've only had it 4 months - it won't switch on....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyhooooo, I have cleaned the kitchen and lounge AGAIN, my bedroom is just a mess - don't ask, so that's not getting done today it will have to wait until I have a bit more energy.

Bye for now...

In my HHC I:

Brought the bedding in off the line
Hoovered mattress
Remade bed
So Level 1 completed.

I've then been to see to the animals - a bit earlier than I would have liked but DH won't be back until I'm in bed so I'd got to take the kids with me so that means before their bedtime.

Helllooooo!

Just popping in to say we are having a lovely time on holiday at Mum and Dad's. I've just sent DH out to grab a takeaway, so thought I would pop on to see you all. Don't think i will be able to catch up on all 22 pages before he gets back tho!

Love and hugs to all, and welcome to LadyGrim and all other newbies.

We are having such a relaxing time! And the weather is glorious today! We went to the cinema yesterday, and today have had a drive through West Sussex which was beautiful. And we picked up a few bits for DH from Mr T as there is a huge one here which sells everything and DH had lost his shorts so was wearing jeans which are too much in this weather!
We also got a washing up bowl which I've been needing for ages as ours has a crack in it. Not that I use it for washing up, but you never know when you will need a large washable plastic bowl...

I've been laughing at myself cos since I've arrived here I keep noticing things and tutting and thinking "they obviously don't clean their..." and thinking that my parents need to follow Pigpen's lists! I think I will go round with a damp cloth upstairs as so far I've noticed the window frames, radiators, walls and back of doors need cleaning! To be fair, my mum is disabled, my dad works full time and looks after her, and my sister works and does the majority of cleaning and a lot of everything else that needs doing, so between them they do very well to keep it as nice as they do. It would just be good to do some of the finishing touches for them before they come home. Plus i'm itching to get all those dirty marks off everything! What's happened to me? Flyladies you have taken over my brain! :rotfl:

rosepink1984

FFP, just saw this on the old thread, this is me on holiday except that I have brown hair, and don't move in that strange way (what is she doing, or maybe I shouldn't ask)


This is definately DH, it even looks like him! :rotfl:
