    I'll join you all with HHC.

    Picked up car. Joy. And cost less than I expected - tried out a new garage. Will definitely be using them from now on.

    I am in. I cannot stand living in a mess any longer and ds is now getting good at sitting in his playnest playing for a while here and there. Please feel free to hassle me as I keep saying i'm back but then wandering off again.

    I also need to find a job at least part time as i'll be out of work at the end of my mat leave in july and i feel like if the house is more ordered i'll have a clearer head iyswim!

    have already swept kitchen floor this am so will do the rest of the kitchen.

    My HHC ran over and I managed to:
    empty and re-load DW
    bring washing in
    peg towels out
    start WM
    fold towels and bedding and put away
    fling a few things and put rubbish out
    attempt to wake DS1 - will remain WIP

    Starting again at 10.15, this time in the kitchen, which is a total nightmare.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hello everyone, hectic week last week and a few gardening weeks have seen me posting less on the thread, but I had a MONSTER clean last week. Today have done dining room apart from floor (will do all floors later in week). Kitchen is also on the list for today and at least a tidy of sitting room.


    Fly lady is such a good motivator, although I've been keeping up from the cleaner base I've missed regular checkins here. The only thing I will NOT do this week is the master bedroom. We had surprise guests last week and every random thing from the house was dumped into our room....so it will take both of us at home to sort out. Next rainy weekend job I think!

    I missed the HHC as I had someone on the phone. Have eaten now, so I'll join Mrs C in hers at 1015. :)
