Thanks, I've allowed myself to wallow a bit, but tomorrow we must get back to normal, whatever normal is . I've set a challenge with Cheri to get back on track in September.

Hi LiT

I need to take a leaf out of your book and set myself some flylady goals, everything has been neglected for too long. My aim will be to get the house in order before my hols at the end of Sept, I will be gone for two whole weeks and cant wait, but dont want to come back to a house of mess...so work permitting I will do it, I will. You put me to shame..there is only me and I get into such a pickle, half the time because I am too tired and the other half I find other things to do....its just not good enough.

Back to work tomorrow for four days of 10 hour days and thats not including the travelling time and getting up and getting ready. Need to batch cook too, loads in and not done much of late.

Anyway hope alls good with you and that you have managed to do your x3 20 mins....knowing you, you will have.:D

Catch you later. Oh and good luck with the spends diary too.
