Can i live in my bathroom??

Amazing what you can achieve in a small amount of time isn't it?

Also, no you cannot live in your bathroom, it will get messy and if you do the same to he rest of the house one room at a time it will ALL be that wonderful that you WANT to spend time in it!!

Before you both go to bed.. Clear away pots and mugs, even if they are not washed so long as they are neatly stacked ready for washing it makes all the difference.

Pick up 10 things from your bedroom floor!

And pick up the box filled with old, bacteria riddled makeup and throw it in the bin.. Don't look in it.. just fling it..

Seriously it will take seconds to do this lot!!

Hey all

I came on all ready to have a moan about my seriously hellish few days but instead would rather hand out hugs and love and sticks and spoons to some lovely peeps who really need it.

Pigpen ((hugs)) but also big yay for getting the house signed over! Rough with smooth eh...

Well I didn't pop back but we carried on a bit long, well me and DS2 as DS1 sloped off but the moods he's had lately, I wasn't arguing when he offered to go to bed.

We got all the living room floor cleared, most of the dining room floor, 2 bags of stuff flung, cleared some of the junk/clutter to where it should go

maybemischief Happy birthday!

xx jo xx Great attitude but have a hug for your rough time.

Valli - fantastic post


Poor DH had a nightmare drive home and didn't get in until 10.15pm. He's shattered after a long week so I've left him to sleep.

Rarely everyone is home this morning as DD1 was babysitting for a friend last night. I think I will instigate a helping hour to get set for the weekend. If everyone picks up their own gibble and puts it away then the house will be alot better for it.

My knee is in a bad place so don't think I will venture very far. DH is taking me to look at a new car.:D

Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday x

Planning a busy day. Work this morning while DD & DH go to ballet. We have my niece staying with us again, so she'll go too. Then home, & then tidy tidy tidy Ive got to wrap an ebeast parcel - something I half thought about binning sold for £23!!

Hope everyone has a good day.

Dear all,

Want to hand out love, hope and strength in unmeasurable amounts to all in need of any....

I may not post every day, but I do do something in the house every day and I thank you all for the stick and boots up the a**e you unwittingly give me....

(Piggers and her army of spiders features a lot in my inner conversations now....)

I don't follow the exact list every day, but take them as inspiration and a sort of routine-building....

The following has been done this week (mostly on the days suggested, but some not and some of it is done slightly and will get done better next time.... BABY STEPS!!!!)

Extras

The house looks the best it can at this moment and when the kitchen is finally done and I can properly tidy things away, the rest of the house will follow.

BTW I went to the darkside for a nosey and was scared.... very scared. I also didn't get why I had to shine my sink nor why i would need to wear shoes whilst cleaning????
I hastily came back... I love the slightly rebellious feel of this thread and the true warmth and care you all show!

:AMuch love to all,:A
