She sends her love to all and would appreciate your thoughts and prayers x

Hello all
I am in again - thanks to all for this helpful thread which 2 weeks in is really starting to make a difference - my sister can't believe it and thinks the real 'me' has been abducted by aliens!
Had a great week last week - didn't achieve all on the lists but cleaned the oven and got some old fashioned vim (other scouring products are available) and cleaned the tops of the kitchen cupboards - discovered that they are actually white (!) which was something of a revelation. Also blitzed our bedroom so as long as I keep the floordrobe and tops clear from now on then that will really help. Need to tackle the bathrooms and the kids bedrooms but I have taken note of some of the posts and am trying now to keep the 'tidy' rooms ticking over in the week so I can blitz one room at the weekend. Away next weekend so this will have to slip a week but will try to keep on top of the dailies up to and including Weds.
From next Mon (28th) I am going to try posting the lists and cross them through when I have completed a task as an added motivator.
I can't post much in the week as I work - reading the thread is fab but it does take me away from the cleaning so I have to just dip in and out and read snippets here and there.
Thanks again - have a good week everyone.:grouphug:0 -
today I have....re sealed the bath/shower it doesn't look too pretty BUT IT DOESN'T LEAK at least it has better bloody not leak:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

trying to convince my DD that she should tidy her room of doom :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:tomorrow I would like to hoover in there........may have to do it for her one evening when she is at workGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
