    Debt-free and Proud!
    Can I play too please ladies? Will be mostly lurking but really need to keep motivated. Am currently on maternity leave with my seven week old baby and if I don't have something to spur me on I could well spend the next year on my bottom in front of the telly! Yesterday I bought me an old fashioned Ewbank sweeper thing, so today I have swept all my carpets with my new toy. Targets today will be-

    Clean bathrooms thoroughly
    Wipe all disgusting skirting
    Return ten things to their rightful place
    Wash a load of cloth nappies
    Hang out washing from last night

    Thankyou for the welcome.

    I've started!!!!! 2 lots of pots washed,dried and put away; third lot soaking.....yes it's that bad...heyho

    mobiles topped up - and bought fresh bread and eggs while I was in the village...where the road is covered in soapy water.....is someone flying down there?

    have opened kitchen curtains & switched on radio while I'm decluttering pots......think that must be fly-lady vibes heading this way to lighten the task

    Right next lot of pots going down xx
