Thank you for the vibes. Meeting went well this morning. It was with someone I hadn't seen for about 3 years and it went v. well. She's even offered to be a reference for the job I'm applying for which is great!

Still loads to do......

Having said that I actually feel that I'm starting to get my life in order - as I've only being doing this for 2 days I'm a tad concerned about how sad this is .

Why does flylady work when following my own lists doesn't?? I'm guessing it's the public crossing off - no-one sees my ticks in the diary (or lack of ticks!). Obviously goes without saying that the support on this thread counts for a lot too:T. Even more worrying is I keep thinking I hope clean microwave/inside bathroom cupboard/under bed is going to come up - I know they need done so why can't I just do them?! Think my problem is there's always so much needing done.....

Flying put on hold. DS2 has just fell from the top bunk in his room. lovely cut and scrapes on the back of his neck and all up his legs. Poor thing crying his eyes out and just wanting cuddles from mammy.

And i was starting to get somewhere with our room too. grrr

Manky-Veg Soup made, meal planned for tonight (using up left-overs, too :money:) and also for the rest of the week to Monday, so I can finalise my Mr.S order. Lunch decluttered, dishes done, DD has helped stir cooking food and yet, unbelievably, kitchen is still tidy and clean... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Off to do the floors to claim my star; but I think that the sitting room will have to wait till tomorrow: so much paperwork to do, and the sun has just come out, too, so I really ought to do a few jobs outside.

Back soon to claim the kitchen star, though.....
