    Place is a tip, I am seriously demotivated, totally distracted by everything else that's going on, I keep starting jobs and leaving them half ased, have about 6m square in the livingroom to walk in because of all the stuff that's here that has to go in the loft/to my sister/to the carboot sale. Kitchen is piled high with washing AGAIN, pots need washed etc etc etc. Bet you wish you hadn't asked :rotfl: I feel like getting very very drunk, which as you know, is not my style at all! I'll be fine tomorrow I just need to wallow a bit tonight. x

    Jackie we all need to wallow at times - preferably with a glass of something and / or chocolate or cake (or both) and why not. Have a huge cyber hug as I know that feeling well.

    Spent a happy half hour trying to rid the loo of limescale which involved removing the water and replacing with white vinegar. Took a while but it's now looking much better - however NO ONE has noticed, so I'm wondering why I bother :mad:

    OH made a cup of tea 'as no one else was bothering' after all he's had a tiring day watching dvd's and playing computer games! (as you may notice I'm in a less than sunny mood today).

    Well tomorrow is another day and an opportunity for more baby steps.

    How irritating is that after working so hard. If it's anything like my house you will be expected to notice every little change everyone else makes.

    Jackie I hope you had a good wallow and looked after yourself last night. As natural messies I doubt we will all go through this at times. To be honest I don't think I want to be a fly lady all the time, I certainly get demotivated and couldn't keep it up.

    After managing to get a little more done yesterday by listing on here I'm going to do it again today if that's ok?

    Strip bed and wash bedclothes - I REALLY don't like this job.:mad:
    Ironing (again):eek:
    Blitz the bedroom (again):eek:
    Spend the rest of the day working on the bathroom decorating.:) I like doing this so it has to wait till last.

    Have a good day all whether you do anything or not.:)

    Sorry welcome new messies.

    I did it. I stripped and remade the bed.:mad: It has only taken 1 1/2 hrs of faffing around, procrastinating and doing anything I can to put it off.:o If I had got on with it earlier the ironing would have also been completed too by now. A fool to myself.

    The rest of the day should be a breeze now.:D
