    Morning all

    I've done quite well this morning:

    Towels on the line
    stripped our bed
    hoovered and mopped all of downstairs
    changed the cat beds
    washed up
    DS1 emptied dw

    DH taken DS3 to watch his team play and to drop DS1 at reffing. He is also getting petrol for the mower so I can cut the lawn later.

    Tried to help DS2 get his business courework organised. He really is too young to be doing this so it is being done in very short bursts.

    glad to see im still on the sick......
    Girls, i need your help....seriously. The house is in a state, worse beyond what it ever has been before. I have no idea what to do. Totally given up. As fast as i clean it becomes a state again, i think i need some dot to dotting!
    Eeeeeek,
    I do hope everyone is ok. Love you all xxxx

    This happens to me so regularly Zoe. You can get it back but you need to simply get on and do it. I start with tidying/hoovering/mopping/changing beds etc and that should lift your spirit. Once it is straighter you can move on to the dusting/wet wiping etc. - now come on get to it!

    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Zoe love, get a bin bag, shuffle about for 10 mins and see what you can put in it.

    Or...empty 2 bins

    or...wipe a worktop

    or...put a wash on

    or...fold some clothes and get them put away


    Good luck, let us know how you get on sweetie, don't be disheartened, we've just had our windows done and to my shame, I have numerous cardboard boxes and binbags with mixtures of clothes, books, paper, make-up, allsorts really just rammed in them to get them out of the way....I now have to unpack them and sort through ugghhh **shudder**:D

    Re the York meet, is someone organising it....if not (deep breathe) I can volunteer to organise it but I'll need help...

    Dates, times, preferred days, location etc etc.

    presses the submit reply post double fast before I change my mind.:rotfl:

    Hurrah - Thursdays are good for me :j I'd prefer in town - Spurriergate centre does good coffee, excellent lunches, and is the most child friendly place in York :j It's an old church, so has a touch of that left, but I'm a confirmed atheist and don;t mind it at all :)
