Morning all. Hope everyone is well.

The sun is shining and so far this morning I have:

Tidied and decluttered one third of my wardrobe (it's huge), filled a large bag for chairty, decluttered some old photos and stuff I was hanging onto just because (all stuffed into my wardrobe ). Done one load of washing. Emptied and then used a descaler on the dishwasher. Read 2 chapters of the body clutter book. Shampooed another large chunk of the lounge carpet. Got rather too intimate with the toilet (took a non-scratch scrubby sponge and bleach and scrubbed under the rim as swishing and swiping, and mopping the floor isn't getting rid of the lingering smell of wee!!!).

Now I'm sat down for a rest.

Next on my list is:

1. Cook a big batch of chilli using the reduced mince I got yesterday.
2. Find some space for it in the freezer :rotfl:
3. Hang out the washing.
4. Bake a cake (from monday's list)
5. Read some more body clutter book (it gets you to dig deep as to why you don't like yourself and what childhood memories you have connected with your comfort food and why you eat when upset - I never got beyond chapter 3 last time as I wasn't ready to deal with some things).

Hi,

In my 2nd HHC i

Watered plants
Folded load from td
Went to put washing out but changed my mind when it started raining and slung it in the td instead, the load that's out can stay out in the vain hope the sun will come back out
Packed my bag with a drink, snack, pencils & paper for Ds2 when we go shopping / for lunch
Wrapped book ready to post

I'm having a super quick coffee before i pick up Ds2.

Morning all

Been to B&Q and got some wallpaper for the LR - want to get it done sometime this year and saw the paper I wanted so thats now got. Had several coffees whilst reading the thread - loving our new Flylady Government - not impressed with the other new one
DH has hoovered the LR but it needs doing again so I'll wait till he's at work and then redo it. DD has Horse Riding after school so won't get much done later so I'd better pull my finger out and get something done now

Well, I haven't been on here for far too long!

The Bad News - My DH has left me - he's been umming and ahhing about it for a month or so and he finally left on Sunday!

The Good News - I've moved from sobbing mess to mostly in control with just occasional tears.

Anyway, he's coming round to night to look after my DD when she gets back from her dad's until I get back from Slimming World. I want the house to look great when he gets here (I won't be here when he gets here) - not in a 'if the house looks great he'll come back' way but more of a 'I want him to know that I haven't been sitting around moping and wallowing in self pity' kind of way. And, I haven't been wallowing - have sorted out all my benefits and wrapped up the business partnership, had fun with DD etc.

So, I'm jumping in with my own list of what I want to get done today and I'm hoping for a big kick up the backside from you guys! Whatever I don't get done I'll finish tomorrow - I'm working on the idea of a superficial clean.
