    I think you're right :(

    Had to take DD into town for her CAB shift as her bus didn't show :mad: Took the opportunitly to do a big groceries shop :)

    I've spent the last hour sewing up the patchwork squares for the front of her quilt :j We didn't go into York at the weekend to get the border and backing fabric (faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too hot for cities) so will plan now what I need and buy that during the half term :j

    Going to have a coffee and then finish painting my window (then we'll be able to rehang the curtains :j )

    Washing is on the line, bread out of the BM, and kitchen is tidy :j

    You made a good decision not to come last weekend! Saturday was races - so town was mega-busy!:mad: I cycled in on Sunday along the river- at the same time as loads of people were doing a sponsored walk!:eek:

    Seriously though I would never recommend York when there is racing on - for years we used to go on holiday during Ebor week.....
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Morning all! Well, this is my second day and so far so good. I'm keeping it small and sticking to Level One.

    My main problem is getting sidetracked. I would love to be one of those people who can concentrate on one room and get it finished - but it just doesn't happen!!

    So, fingers crossed for today!

    Don't worry Amanda, it all comes together over time

    I was like you at first and the thought of completing a list made me think how do you do this? It'll take ages.

    Over time and building up from Level 1 each week it didn't take as long to do and then from Level 3 it doesn't take so long as it was cleaned recently.

    Don't get down about it - after all the house took a long time to get like this and it'll take longer than a day to sort! I'm still at it after 18mths!

    Good luck!
