    Gosh MG, your thread is such an inspiration.

    Just to report in on the 100 day challenge, I have lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks with the help of Paul McKenna's CD (which I read about on here).

    I am so loving all the positivity and mental focus and fun on here. If I dont read it everyday I have withdrawal symptoms.

    Relationship with DS is much improved. Lots of hugs and chats going on with him at the moment.

    We are going on holiday next week so I have been spending extra money on kitting us out with holiday gear but guess what? Just had some lovely holiday clothes loaned to me so that has saved quite a few of the precious pounds which can be put towards spending money now. Thank you, Universe.

    Take care all xxx

    Thankyou Universe

    MY NEW LAPTOP ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just been onto ebay to order the new power lead - and it was only £8.99.

    I love this programme

    Clean house, clean house, clean house.

    BTW I've just mind-mapped a proposal for an 8 part series out whilst having my coffee. Suprising how you get inspiration whilst on your hands and knees cleaning.

    OK - next

    Washing on
    10 minutes putting fabric and wool into new storage chest of drawers

    15 minute stash busting done!!!!

    Now I need a cool drink - and a selection of the next 5 X 15 minute chores I'm gong to attempt. Then I am going to stop and I am going to write because thats the most important thing.

    1. Washing up from around the house collected and done

    2. Blitz the Office so I have got space to work in .

    3. 15 minute pick-up in DS1 room - can't actually see the floor so I worry abut things getting broken.

    4. Hoover top floor

    5. Move storage boxes for storing wool up to beside the stash and fill with wool.

    Sounds like that should take me until 12 o'clock.

    Same here :rotfl:

    Well i did get my backside in gear and sorted the spare room, four hours and one trip to the tip and asda (for some storage) and it is now tidy. You can see and get to the bed and the dryer. And also see loads of floor. OCD OH was well impressed when he got home, and myself and cleaning do not usually do hand in had. DS1 also thanked me for cleaning it up :eek:, so it must have been bad.

    DS1 is pretty self reliant, if at home plays or is outside in the street playing. The baby however has just mastered caterpillar like crawling, and moves at lightening speed, he has just outgrown the swing chair. The only thing he can be contained in is the jumperoo, but I tend to use that when it's time to make tea as I know he is safe and secure. Naps are only usually about 30 mins long, so will have to master 2 lots of 15 minute bursts at the weekend when he sleeps.

    Well done Workinmummy.
    If you've only got 15 mins, then it's amazing how much can be achieved ;)

    On my 100 day challenge, I'm pleased to report the following progress.
    As part of my "work" area, I wanted to increase my business, so having toyed with an idea for a couple of years, I started to research the viability of it. I decided that on both the space and the financial costs aspects that it could work.....so I'm going to be offering an ironing service from work. I took delivery of my hangars and polywrap garment covers yesterday and managed to pick up a very good but cheapo ironing board, so I just need to finalise my prices and sort out some signs/leaflets.....but as of tomorrow I will be Mrs Twit Ironer Extrordinaire :j :j :j

    So before I go to sleep tonight, I'll order myself some customers.

    Off to the bank now....byeeeeeeee
