Weekly Flylady Thread 19th April 2010

I am in in my own way again. Did a bit of research today to try and get on with my word count during my lunch hour, but have not added to it so I am 1000 words behind now.

Will see what I can do this week, if I can get most of it cracked then I can start flying again next week, with or without the stars!

OH is playing bowles tomorrow, so I'm only doing tea for me and kids. No excuse not to fly when I come in from school, especially as the weather forecast is gloomy, so I won't want to spend time outside. That's some list, though - will see what I can do.

I think I need some cleaning discipline in my life and stumbled across you all.

Hoping by joining in I will soon be able to stop feeling guilty about going out and allowing the dust to gather.

Going to be challenging.... but feel there is some moral support here.

Many thanks in advance and Hello.:hello:

I guess "The Scottish one (female)" doesn't sound as glam :rotfl:

Please can I join? Wish I had found you lot earlier! You make everything seem so easy. I would love to do all three each day, but realistically, I am struggling to the point where everything is sooo behind it is going to take me weeks to get this place looking like it should! Think someone nailed it on the first page CHAOS syndrome has been me for the last two years! I have 2 children under 3 (who can only squeeze into nursery for 3 hours a week), 4 cats, 1 very needy OH, who is self employed, does the bits he likes and leaves the rest to me and my own business. Time is not something I get a lot of and it shows, hoping you lot will be the kick up the bum I need to organise myself. Its not through lack of effort, but my trouble is that I try to do everything, get confused, stop and start due to baby/child/phone/OH and never really get too far despite being exhausted at the end of the day. My parents call me a scatter brain, I am just sooo disorganised and my memory is shot, if I don't write it down, it ain't gonna be remembered!

Essay, sorry, :wave: hello everyone, my name is Emma and I need help!
