Hi All - Im still alive!! Im sorry - I havent caught up with any of the threads - and Im not even lurking, but I am still flying!

Im only really able to get on, check Pigpens post and see what the list is, Ive had no time to go through the thread! So Im really sorry to everything I missed - and I know that the WEDDING was one of them!!! I hope that all went well Kaz!! xx

Work is going well and I really like it - they are a nice bunch and it is GREAT working so close to home! Little one started back to school on Thursday and I now have asbodog back too - he has been here since Sunday and is here to stay until at least February! So my routine is all to pot.....

Im managing to stay on top of the dailies (kinda!) and I had a backlog of washing after a series of hen-nights and weekends away! But I have cleared most of that now and have just about got it all dried! :rolleyes:
so my ironing pile is once again gigantic! (story of my bloomin life!)

Ive been popping home at lunchtime to let the dog out and putting a wash on so Im just about there with it now.

I have cleared out a load of stuff on freecycle, need to concentrate on Ebay stuff next. Oh and guess what! Ive also had some of my pay back from the government! Its wasnt all, but enough to put a big dent in my rent and coucil tax arrears so certainly better than nothing!

I want to concentrate on my downstairs this week and am going to do little ones room, but the others can wait!

Im only concentrating on those 4 rooms and that will be me! My room and the spare room are not as desperate as the others!!!

Love n hugs to all ('cept Piggers who can have alcohol!)

I'm finally on here after a manic day so far! After the initial school run this morning, DD2 had a swimming lesson, follwed by preschool so she had to have lunch in the car and when I finally managed to get home, DD3 decided she didn't want to sleep or be put down so I've been sitting down holding a very heavy 10 week old most of the day!

Will try to get on with today's task so I keep up with things!

Rose my dh never tells me he loves me as he says to say it all the time makes it pointless and does not mean anything.

I used to hate not hearing it but i know he loves me and i think you know this too.
I agree with what the others have said too you need to get out more and meet some new people get yourself a little routine going. Get some excercise and get those endorphins going you know the feel good ones they give you the motivation to carry on. Set the alarm for 8 am get up shower breakfast and get out for a nice brisk walk. It will give you loads of energy for the rest of the day then come home and do the housework. Your flat like you say is so tiny i know you can get it gleaming. When dh comes home from work have his tea ready and a bath run for him so he can relax join him and you can both relax together.

Some of what we say is harsh but that is because we love you and we want you to be happy. Just try for a few weeks to change your lifestyle and see how you feel. What is a couple of weeks if it changes your health your happiness and makes your marriage a happy loving (if not verbally) one.
Good luck hun and if i can do anything at all to help you please pm me

I will join you every morning as your virtual excercie buddy as when i have taken ds to school i will be at the gym for 2 hours then home to fly, have lunch prepare tea then back to pick up ds.

I am skipping the living room its work in progress due to flood so no star for me today

I was wondering. When you do each of Pigpen's lists, do you completely do every room every time? Do you only sort cupboards if they require a tidy? I ask because I am gradually getting to the stage where I am able to get to all areas to dust and hoover and almost all of my cupboards are now tidy both on top and inside. Is this the point where people then just do what needs doing and use the rest of the time for yourself?

I do all my cleaning around work, and although I am lucky that it is not too hectic most of the time I know this won't last forever, which is why I ask.
