    Had to give this cutie another outing:)

    Went to bed last night so angry with myself - I did nothing yesterday - zilch, nada, rien.:mad:
    OK it was a dark cloudy wet miserable day, but that is no excuse:mad::mad:
    Then I came on here this morning and read pigger's post (and thought about other flyladies who are in our thoughts) - now I feel guilty as well:( I have nothing in my life stopping me doing whatever I want (well apart from money:p) so why do I self-sabotage (insert shruggy smilie)
    Oh well, onward and upward.

    Today is a new day.. focus on one task and do that.. you may then feel spurred on to do more.. we all have crappy days but you are not allowed to punish yourself.. today WILL be better!!!!

  • Morning all :)

    Thanks so much for this thread I think it is changing my life! LOL seriously!

    Well today I hope you do not mind but I am going to mainly bypass what you have lovingly laid out for us today, though I may if I have time do a couple of things off there as I know it all helps with staying on top of things. But today I am having a HUGE sorting day! I am bagging and boxing up all the trash in the celler that has been collecting for 3 years?! My washing machine lives down there and I am finding it hard to weave a path to it now..lol! But I am going to be ruthless and get in there as I am going with a friend to the dump on Thursday!

    I hope everyone has a good day :)

    morning all

    dh off sick today...know he can't help it but was looking forward to day on my own with friend popping over! oh well, best he gets better I guess.

    Before bed last night I managed to hang up the carseat cover and other bits I'd washed, and wash up. Will get wm on with clothes in once we've both showered and put the neatly folded baby clothes away. Slowly getting there this week I think. Seeing another friend for coffee tomorrow then the rest of the week is my own :D

    Hello everyone

    Im doing Mondays list today as the master bedroom was done over the weekend (and I did the bathroom yesterday.

    Im expecting DS2 to be up for a feed at 10:00, which will take me to about 11:00 and then I need to start getting DS1 ready for school (12:00). So I plan to fit in a few 15 minute sessions in between so that most of it is done before I have to get DS1 to school. It'll be about 13:00 by the time I get back and then DS2 will be asking for another feed around about then or 14:00-and then I need to leave at 14:30 to get DS1 from school.

    I was late yesterday because of a doctors appointment so poor little man had to go and wait in the office-not that he minded...when I got there the receptionist asked him if he was ready to go home and his answer was: "no thank you, I like it here just fine" no worries about him liking his new school then :rotfl:

    Anyway, I'll catch up on the thread later today...in the meantime-my list and a dash for a quick
    HHC09:45-10:15 (if DS2 will last that long)
