That's really great. I'm sure you'll get used to it after a while.
I'm in again this week, doing as much as I can from the lists and some major decluttering, while trying to keep DS2 entertained. Thank you to Flylady Central Command for the thread.
Since my last post I had a nap (the day after the night before), tidied part of the back yard, brought the washing in, made corned beef hash with dumplings/rhubarb crumble with custard and visited a friend. The kitchen now looks like a bomb's dropped and I've got a serious case of CBA. Might need to go back to QHC (quarter hour challenges) so I at least make a start on it tonight. I'll sort my list for tomorrow and then get on with it.
