Good idea to have a proper break me thinks

wish i could build a good relationship with fly lady.

do i remember rightly that you were talking about a declutter your life type book? if so could you let me know the name of the book.
I've come to the conclusion i'm sick of being cheesed off with everything and finally need to make some changes.

That's the one, beanie - be warned, anyone who gets it.....it can be quite an emotional journey once you get into it!!

I've done an hour's flylady - bathroom, ensuite and cloakroom, and put a load of washing in. I am therefore going to pay myself £5

I've also made a start on my Christmas cards.....the important ones, ie the Great Aunts etc who we rarely see, but I would feel awful about if I didn't even make the effort to send a card.

Hope you have all had a good evening so far.....

Good start Hypno! I've got a few presents wrapped tonight so that's my effort!

I've not got THAT far yet EH......well, we did a few ages ago, but that was just a token effort I think.

Flylady has the following challenge.......I have signed up :rolleyes:

the challenge is to have all your ironing done by New Year's Eve - to start 2010 with an empty ironing basket

Do you reckon I can pay myself a productivity bonus if I achieve it

I have signed up for that too - god knows why, there's piles and piles of it :eek: wonder if I can get sponsership per item - I'd be debt free in no time! :rotfl:

Right.....

As you know, flylady and I have an on/off relationship.....when we are together, we are good for each other, then when we drift apart, life becomes muddled and unhappy.

So.....I found myself hunting for a cleaner......can get one for £8.50 an hour for 3 hours a week = £25.50.

Hurrah, I thought, I can move on from my previous failed attempts at a relationship, and get another woman in :rolleyes: I have tried counselling, I have tried "the silent treatment" and I really thought the time had come to call it a day.

But something stopped me from doing the dirty (no pun intended).....If flylady and I make the effort, and I DO accept that there is probably more input needed on my part in this relationship), that is the equivalent of £5 not spent on "the other woman" for every day that I do what I need to do.......(it is a mid week relationship only - I need my weekends to recover), and not only that, but I will also have 50p left over to buy a bag of minstrels on a Saturday morning

So, flylady and I are agreeing to give it another go......and for £5 a day where the list is completed, to go into my "moving house" (ie pay off the mortgage) fund.

I'm not sure which I am most looking forward to - an extra £100 a month going to the mortgage.........or the minstrels on a Saturday :rolleyes:

Mmmm, I like this plan - defo Minstrels for me!!

Since successfully slimming and exercising into my party dress last week, this week I am hoovering up any chocolate coated morsel I can lay my hands on! :eek:
