PS - am new on here but also wanted to say HUGS to cleosmum. I hope you feel better soon.
I reiterate all the others' advice - an early night is a must everything feels marginally better after a good nights sleep x x0 -
Thanks all, am now in bed. I had a half hour challenge (HHC!) and achieved quite a bit, so I am going to bed a bit happier. I am going to check the flylady thread and see whats on their list for tomorrow. OH has his jobs to do tomorrow, so hopefully that will spur me on when I get home! Just hope flylady isnt in the kitchen tomorrow as OH is stripping the oven and hob and steam cleaning it to within an inch of its life, wont be much fun trying to achieve anything in there! Its so small we can only fit 2 people in at one time lol.
In my HHC I:
Washed up
Sorted DW and started
Sorted my breakfasts (!) and did an extra hard boiled egg for weds
Emptied bin
Swept kitchen floor
Sorted all clothes for tomorrow
Wiped down work surfaces, sink and drainer
Folded clothes from airer and put in my room ready to sort tomorrow
OH made sarnies and I got out lunch box bits all ready
OH put one 'dump' item in the back garden with the growing collection
DS sorted hallway shoes (my new shoe rack arrives friday yeehar!)
OH put away my sofa blankie all ready for another cold day
And now I am going to have a peek at flylady to see whats planned for tomorrow!0 -

Hi folks,
I don't really have time to leave today to leave you individual comments, but congratulations to those of you who've had good news and for those who've had bad days - try not to let it get you down. We can't achieve and be 100% successful everyday (no-one has that much motivation). Perhaps you could think about where you were a the start of this journey and appreciate how far you've travelled overall rather than dwell about today.
Today:- used up eggs nearly out of date for tea
- went to Boundary Mills instead of town (still spent but definitely less than I would have in town)
- filled the sink for stuff that wouldn't go in the dishwasher but decided not to waste the water and washed all the dishes.
Proud to have dealt with my debts:
Lightbulb moment - Jan 08. Debts - circa 7k
Debt free date 26/02/09
