well i have done well today..i think

have cleared the floor in my room, other than hubbys carp behind the door that doesnt fit anywhere else, so its looking much better. Really want to get the top of the wardrobes cleared, either stuff in plastic boxes with lids or under the bed but that is dependant on hubby getting rid of videos that i bet havent been watched the whole time we have lived here(8 years)

fridge all clean ready for tesco delivery tomorrow...oven can wait its not bad, i found some oven pride at the back of a cubourd so ill give that a try.

3rd school run of the day soon then tea, clean up and then ???

had a look through my OU stuff for my course that starts in 10 days and watched a short dvd before little un woke up

hope everyone ok, hugs to those that need them x

I have to say, I'm finding this thread absolutely fantastic! I suffer from a painful skin condition that leaves me almost unable to move some days and as you can imagine, the house has become a tip. The family do help out but they don't do things properly -i.e my way which leaves me feeling frustrated and depressed and useless.

I've found that the breaking things down into little steps has been extremely helpful rather than being overwhelmed by the whole sorry mess, and seeing little jobs getting completed has been very motivating. I'd say that this past few days, I feel like I've achieved much much more than I have done over the past few months and it feels sooooo good!

So just wanted to say thanks to everyone for sharing their tips and ideas and for all the support that is evident throughout this thread x

Thanks everyone. Your support made it a lot easier today.

Mum was very emotional about the harming thing and I was tempted not to fess up but I know I did the right thing and she knows all about it anyway. Honesty is best eh.

Anyway wallpaper lining stuff seems to come off fairly well. It is hard work but it is kinda satisfying and does help me clear my mind. Time for a quick brush up and then it is off to see my Counsellor. Then home for some Thai Fish Cakes my mum treated me to.. Nommy xx
