  • Hello Messy Peeps,
    I am mega impressed with all the folks who are now joining this cluttered band - and how well everyone is doing.
    My house is a guddle again - it isnt so much that I am bad at doing jobs, it is that when I am not tidying I am messing things up. Everything that was done at the weekend needs done again (apart from the wardrobe stuff).
    So plan for tonight is : dishes and wipe round kitchen (possibly hoover), tidy and recycle from the cr*p in the living room and put clothes away! Possibly an hours work but hey - Im pooped so all I can do is what I can do.
    Well done everyone again - this wee bits n pieces works well so I am off to check the TV guide and see what is on when and when I can do my wee tasks.
    BB

    PS Another important job has come to light - must paint toes so I can get my sandals out in this lovely weather!!

    Very important job, must do it too :D

    I managed to climb 1/3 of the ironing mountain. I usually don't have that much to iron. It is just that I had a huuuuuge back log of bed linen and I like ironing the linen, especially when I don't use it very often (linen for guest bed) :o My linen cupboard is the only tidy place in the house, I have developed OCD when it comes to putting stuff away in there :o

    Well i didn't get the whole of the garden done today so i'm a bit disapointed about that :( BUT it does look alot tidier :). Once the girls (my chickens) have gone to bed i will sweep up thier food that they take out of the hen dish thingy and if i'm up to it i might empty, wash and refil there water trough (sp*).

    I did clean & hoover the stairs and the landing and i also cleaned out the clutter from my handbag so now i can actually find things in it :rotfl:.

    All in all not to bad a day but i would like to have got more done, but hey, baby steps it is for me and that works better :j:j.

    I've not got it straight in my head yet what i am going to do for tomorrow so i best get my thinking cap on:eek:.

    Keep up all the good work everyone :A.

    Haha, so maybe have a very tiny list of things and then see if you can add to it :) I find that if I plan too many chores, I don't do them :o I really don't know how I can find the self discipline to study on my own and yet I can't discipline myself to do the housework :o:o:o
