I'm behind already :mad: :rolleyes:
I was at work a bit longer than expected, haven't had any lunch yet.
I started sorting all the junk on the bed. I have tons of stationery (not sure where it all came from lol) so I thought I'd sort that first, in the kitchen. That resulted in lots of piles of paper, stickers, post-it pads (can't remember buying those) and pots of staples, paperclips, clips and some sticky paper things that I don't even know what you would use them forSo I now have a messy bedroom and a messy kitchen :rolleyes:

Right have been ruthless with the paperwork by my desk.
I looks nice now all tidy in a box coevered in paper that matches the living room. Have throughly cleaned the desk area, and have the LO polishing the coffee table and washing the doors:rotfl: Cruel mummy that I am lol.
Have made dinner for tonight, stock for soup tomorrow, and put some washing on.
Just got to now finish sorting out my recipe collection into a folder and the kitchen work top will be clear of junk.
Oh and answered a few calls this morning in my other guise as adult chat operator:rotfl: :rotfl: ( well it earns some extra)
Later I have to go to work at my local co op so I plan to do another room tomorrow.
I want to get the clean laundry sorted and the summer clothes that will not be worn again this year packed away. I have so little storage space here.
The rest of the week I aim to clear out cupboards and wardrobes to optimise the space I do have, hopefully creating a tidier house alround.
Right coffee beckons, as does a little rest lol.0 -

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I was a member of fly lady a year or so ago, I haven't signed back up, but I'm going to try to watch these threads.. i think motivation from others really helps on a slack day, enthusiasm is catching.
It's difficult for me to do anything right now.. DF working at home, not ideal in the slightest but since an arson attack on our premises in April, we have no choice. Hopefully only another 6 weeks or so to go then we can try and get our house back to normal.
Also with a 4 month old baby, a 4 year old just starting school, so only doing half days and a 9 year old at school, doesn't leave much time to turn around let alone anything else... however baby steps!! I have hung out some washing to dry, put some washing away, washed another load. Trying to clear my desk of clutter, but not too easy.
Got dishwasher to finish emptying and to start refilling with breakfast and lunch things.. so that's my next task.

LOL FF, I have just remembered to have a good wash and wash my hair and brush my teeth. I was so keen to get on this morning that I forgot all those things as DH was taking DD to school. After a sweaty morning clearing her room I didn't want to give them another reason not to stand anywhere near meOrganised people are just too lazy to look for things
