Weekly Flylady Thread 11th January 2010

Morning all

Yay, the sun is out and there's some blue sky. My spirit feels lifted already. I might be a bit less grumpy with DH today and stop bursting into tears every time he breathes!!

woke up early but got up about 8.30, just finishing my breakfast. MIL is coming for me at 9.45ish and I need to print one thing first so better not hang around here too long.

Mudbath - I meant to say yesterday I will be thinking of you and your friends family.

Dusty - my 'whole house is clean and de-cluttered post, at least until the children come home' post was late August/early September just before the half term challenge. It was to sell the house! Total pigsty to shiney palace took about six months all in, and then I kept on top of it till we moved.

I worked part time, had two toddlers, and a husband who couldn't lift anything for six months in 2005. It was a clutter filled pit. Looking at videos/photos from then horrify me, but the estate agent ones are lovely. I started doing flylady (not on MSE) early 2006, and lurked for a while before I signed up to the thread. I only really got it sorted when I booked the boys into nursery every Wednesday morning and used that time to work very, very hard painting, de-cluttering, cleaning. I certainly learnt to apply myself fully in the time available! I still find it frustrating when other people (*coughs* DH!) don't just go and get on with something. Re-reading stuff made me think about how I am slipping back into putting the laptop on, not getting dressed, etc. I am sat here now half dressed, and with a grim snug floor covered in dog hairs. Ten minutes work to sort it so why I am on here and on facebook?

Greenbee - The week challenge did focus attention. I am up for one if you or anyone else fancies it, but not in the school holidays. Not fair to the boys to ignore them whilst I declutter and scrub . Might have to be done via Facebook though given that there is already the Flylady thread and the de-clutter thread on here. Before and after photos would be essential!

Right, I am going to switch the computer off and go and do something more boring instead. (wonders off to look for the 'why don't you' music on youtube....)

erm, that'll be a HHC for me then, starting NOW!
