    STAR PLEASE TOOTS

    Am shattered now though and can hardly move.
    Forgot to tell you this before. When I have a seizure as I am coming round I talk absolute rubbish but never remember:o DH told me that after the 2nd one on Friday he told me he had called an ambulance all I kept saying was "I've been flying" over and over, he didn't realise what I meant then. He thought I was high and I think I was pleased the house was clean for the paramedics :rotfl:

    Just a quick post to say I did actually manage to earn the star I was awarded last week seemingly in error! (I completed Tuesday - Living Room!).

    But more than earning stars, I'm just so pleased with how the house looks, everywhere is just feeling 'nice'! Thank you all for the motivation.

    I agree with whoever said last week that they ran out of energy by about Wednesday (sorry, I tend to read a few pages on my phone in bed in the morning, but can't reply at the time and by the time I get on in the evening, everything has moved on so much!). I've found this every week, I work really hard and feel really motivated Mon and Tues and then gradually slow down to a halt come Thurs/Fri...

    But at least I feel ready to go again by the next Monday! ;)

    This is my 4th week here and it is also the 4th week that my kitchen has remained clutter-free, so v impressed with myself!

    I also cleared my computer desk last week - another major hotspot, so want to work really hard on keeping that clear!

    I did quite well with the kitchen yesterday, but won't even post today's list as I haven't done anything (although the living room doesn't actually 'look' like it needs doing, which makes a change - all the regular cleaning is really paying off), have been feeling quite tired, but have managed to keep everywhere tidy - and do a bit of digging at the allotment :o (only went to stick some rhubarb in, but got carried away!).

    Will try to keep motivation going this week!

    Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area (Deleted is done...)

    Clean out the cupboard with the pet food/miscellaneous items!

    Taking 'little cat' to the vets tomorrow for her operation, poor lass, but I'm sure she will be fine. She is as mad as a box of frogs & the thought of having 5 or 6 like her running around fills me with horror!

    Forgive me ladies for I have sinned! I haave not done one once of flying and cooked convienece (sp) for tea.

    Have had a full work day on little to no sleep (am so jealous of all those who had good nights), and I'm so ful of cold, even turning my head....which didn't help when the vomiting sstarted....hey, have flown, toilet got bleached and cleaned coz I can't stand the smell of my own....well, that's probably TMI!

    Am gonna get lists together for tomorrow, my gorgeous day off, so I'll be vaguely organised.

    Miss H - That's so cute about your DD's baby stuff, my mums still got some of mine, I like looking at them. It's scary to think I ws once that tiny

    Kaz - Love that joke.

    Congrats and commiseration where needed, and lots of BIG SQUISHY HUGS to ALL!!!!!!

    Now, am going to declutter medication...lots and lots of it!

    I have also fixed the twins' chest of drawers (which was driving me bonkers) vacuumed their bedroom, stairs and living room, made supper and put some laundry away.

    Just Pack ups to do now and a quick read through tomorrow's planning. It is parent consultation day at my school tomorrow, so I will be covering class all day again

    Evening all, hope everyone is doing well :) Not got to any of the items on the list yet, but did do a mountain of dishes and get rid of all the rubbish/recycling which is better than nowt! Also been doing a little knitting, but mostly just resting my back so I can hopefully go back to work tomorrow. Hmmmmm, flying and a full-time job, wonder how this will go! :eek:
