Oh dear where has my motivation gone? Think I must have thrown it out with the last lot of clutter

I was in serious danger of spending the whole afternoon idling about on the internet, mainly looking at things I cant afford. Decided to have 15 minutes in each room trying to achieve as much as possible. Have done all 3 bedrooms and given up temporarily. Will have a break until DS comes in at 3.30 and start again.

That's half the battle isn't it YORKSHIRELASS, the motivation, i lost mine weekend before last as i was busy/working/familywedding/family visits/more working, and am still struggling with the motavation BUT i am pushing myself to get a little done. I think it's great you are giving 15 minutes to each room :T, i wish i could .

Hi messy heads Iv just caught up. Yorkshirelass Im the same with curtains ,even when I take them down it takes all my time to put them back up. Dont beat yourself up you have had a lot to deal with and in the scheme of things housework really isnt that important. Anyway your doing the jobs now and thats a start.
To the person who has lots of books I do too. Iv had to put some in a basket in the bedroom. Iv still loads more next to and under the bed.
Im doing zero today. Oh has really upset me so he is doing the tea.
Looks like everyone is doing well I may join in Wed.

Hi
Was looking at the wrong schedule this morn so had more time than I thought before work, so... I wiped down another kitchen work top and did the washing up. Put the dish cloths in to soak.

Have put washing up away now and started dinner. Washing m/c on.
Hoovered the bathroom floor should now wash it but bending makes me sick so not sure.

Wish I had a dish washer. My kitchen is so small could not fit one in, OH does the dinner stuff as I cook but I would love a dishwasher. Bet I would empty it, bet I would...

Bedroom..hm moved some old newspapers out for recycling but not sure I can deal with any more at the min.

hi all, well after coming out from lurkdom the other day, I have started to acheive somethings.
I managed to throughly clean all the bench tops in the kitchen (they don't get done as often as I'd like)
I've managed to order the boxes from tesc* direct that i need, so i'll be picking them up tonight and I'll be getting clothes put away in them (better than on the bedroom floor)
I also managed to get three loads of washing on the line which is good as I usually use the dryer.
tonight i will empty one of the bin bags in my bedroom and find homes for all the items (i hope).
shall update tomrrow and hopefully I will have achieved more with my teeny weeny baby steps

Shucks - I am so so so embarrassed Rigs. Here was me confessing my messy sins and I honestly didnt realise what a life changing confession it would be. And if it is helping people along the way then I am really pleased!

There are now 93 named and shamed messies here - how fab is that?????

I have come home from work today totally knackered. OH is doing the dishes so I will go and have a wipe round later and hoover the floor. It is funny that I am now getting into the habit of doing wee jobs without thinking about them.

Re cutlery - I have another confession - this unmessying has transferred to my desk at work and I found 6 forks in my drawer!!!!:o It seems I am the fork nicker. I also found a collegues ruler, a mobile phone charger ( that I have already replaced) and a full box of cup a soups that I brought with me when I started 2 and a half years ago:eek:

Go go Messys!!!

Well I got my butt into gear finally and washed ALL the baby clothes (I have loads in different sizes) so am pretty proud. Of course I will be washing them again :rotfl: I even washed some of our clothes too woo! I never did get round to doing some dishes though will have to do them soon.

Ok, living room is much better but still not perfect.
Kitchen is tidy and pretty much clean (I even wiped the inside of the microwave)
A load of washing is in the machine.
everything in my bedroom is in a pile ready to be put away when I get home from yoga
Just about to run the hoover around quickly and then get changed and go.

It's not nearly as much as I wanted to get done but it's better than nothing. I think I set the bar a bit too high this time.

It will still be perfect, exactly as it is.

Why do we put more pressure on ourselves when things are already tough? I need to learn to let go.
