    Can I join please? I've printed off todays things to do and will have a go tonight, though with 2 toddlers and working full time its difficult to find time in the evenings to do anything but make dinner, have a shower then flopping in front of the TV with a glass of vino!

    Well... My first flyday didnt go so well. I did get some bits done but then my sister came round unexpectedly to tell me that I need to find alternative childcare in September because she has a new job and cant look after the babies anymore. :(

    It turned out to be a huge snotty, teary, wailing mess (from both of us :D). I had no energy after that and today I look like I've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson!

    Will try harder today!

    I'll be decluttering more than flying today i think. I'm hoping the decluttering will eventually make the flying easier!

    I've hovered the kitchen, dining room, hall and stairs up to the first landing. (DS1 is still asleep on the top floor and is like a bear with a sore head where the hoover is concerned).

    Thoroughly cleaned the 4 slice toaster.

    Sorted through DD2 and DS3's shoe boxes and flung out all the too small stuff.

    Emptied the hoover

    unloaded and reloaded DW

    Feel quite pleased with yself but need to crack on still.

    I'll join you VivW at 9.45

    Shock horror! DS1 has got up without me starting a fire in his room. Wonders will never cease!
