I'm with you too Fay!!! Those bells have been clanging a lot lately and its more luck than judgement that I'm managed to stay AF!

Come on everyone, lets see if we can all do it tonight. Can't put me PJ's on at 5pm like Fay (people at work will look at me a bit odd!!:rotfl:) but I'm certainly going to be keeping myself busy to try and keep my mind off it. (you know, I'm even considering joining in on the Flylady thread - how mad is THAT!?!)

Kitchen sink is tidy
All toys are tidied away
Youngest son is in bed
Sandwich is made for tomorrow
Eldest boy's nursery bag is packed (1st day back tomorrow)
One Ebay item already wrapped and ready to post

Off to put eldest in bed and read story.

Who's this Flylady and what's she all about? Sounds kinda hip but seems to be connected with cleaning?!

Hi GG,

It's on the Old Style Board and it is a room a day list to complete for a star a day. It has helped me pass some time away from the lappy, done the rooms when my head has been done in by various thing and want to dwell. Could use it as a distraction from the old alcohol? Result, nice clean and tidy house.

The good bits are the chucking stuff out bits eg 20 items in 20 mins or 60 items in 60 mins

Have a mosey over there, it's a really friendly place, not always AF though!

Thanks Fedupski and YM,

Think I might join this, although have to admit to feeling knackered just reading the to-do list.

I joined a Flylady Yahoo group a year or two ago. I just ended up with 300+ unread messages because I couldn't keep up with all the cleaning :rotfl:To this day I still stick to clearing out my hotspots though. Does wonders for the soul
