Great minds and all that :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:great minds and all that! would pop round and sort out your ironing for you both but just too far away I'm afraid...

Just wish I could muster up some enthusiasm for either wrapping pressies or writing cards:rolleyes::o.

Perhaps you can start a mini-Flylady on your thread Hypno, there seems to be a few of us that have better things to do than housework - I'm definately one! Thankfully ironing is not an issue for me - I don't do it!!:rotfl:If OH wants a shirt ironed, he does it himself!:T

Hope you enjoy your holiday, not sure I would be able to resist no internet access at all - I panic if I can't check my online banking at least once per day!!

EH, I'm gonna get all the presents out the cupboard tonight and wrap what I can... then figure out whats left to buy. I know I have two Secret Santas to buy for but they're both for easy people

Online banking is my main concern too, Sarah.......I may end up going to one of the "pay" pcs in one of the bars or cafes just to check that everything is ok, but I will only do so if really needed. I will, for starters, want to see if we have been paid early, or got that blasted bonus :rotfl:

But if I am paying my 3 euros, I will probably only get 10 mins on - no time for anything other than a quick check of the banking sites, so it will only be a common sense thing, rather than a "feeding my addiction" thing

I can see I will have to take the "If you can't beat them, join them!" approach on this - it amazes me how happy having a clean and tidy flat makes me when compared to the alternative. I really must make the effort. Good luck with yours Hypno!

You see that is what really !!!!es me off. I Know full well that when my place is tidy I am MUCH happier but still I let the clutter fill up, don't file the bills, don't dust, I am driving myself NUTS with it all.

Its a bit difficult to do Fly lady as I live with Mum but I think I shall have to make a plan too. Trouble is I am !!!!! at rewarding myself (as in even if I don't do XYZ I still give myself the reward. plus Chocolate is pretty much a staple food in my diet.)

Things to ponder. Plan time.

This is how I am, and I really do have to get to the bottom of why I don't just do it - because I know how much it gets me down, otherwise. I don't think it would make any difference whether I lived on my own or with the family.......in a small house or a big house......I just don't do what I need to do, but when it IS done, I feel so so so much better!
