  • Hi, can I join you?! Been lurking/FLYing for a while now so really should!

    I did intend on posting yesterday, only, my 6 month old decided he was going to be grumpy and clingy so didn't even get near the computer. I did however get some stuff done eventually :) Think we're in for a similar day today as he's now awake, having decided half an hour is quite enough of a nap!

    Mumto5 Hugs, I am mum to three sons so can sympathise. It seems as though all the things I would have suggested have been tried by you already.
    I have to admit that over the Christmas holiday when I found clothes blocking my way in the bedrooms I just walked over them, and taking a muddy dog in there helped too.:D Clothes soon went in the machine. Mine all now put their own stuff in the WM and TD or hang it out so you know there is hope for the future.

    pigpen I agree with mrsm

      The biggest thing I have noticed since I started this challenge is that DH and I havnt argued at all really! (I did wash his work trousers with the train ticket still in the pocket though...!) We have 3 small children, and live in a small 2 bedroom flat, so we can be under quite a lot of pressure a lot of the time, especially at the weekend when we are all about! Since I started this challenge though and beginning to keep on top of everything...I never would have believed it could take that much pressure off us, but it has! :j
