AnW - I am tying to sort our main RoD which is the boys playroom. Got rid of lots of stuff and T has decided he is too old for Thomas so quite a bit of that can go as well. Got a big bar of chocolate on the way home to bribe them with so we can have a messy playroom and manic boys.

Just need to make myself start on it......

Ours is still a WIP but inroads are being made although today I was out with my friend at my other 'home' which is looked after by NT

Miss A wants to and is helping to sort the ROD, we just need to keep up the momentum along with trying to keep ebay going etc etc

Oh boy am I behind No flying so far this week as just had 3 full days at work and meeting tomorrow morning then I am hoping to fly literally through the list!!! House isn't actually too bad lounge/dining room and kitchen are clear of clutter it is only our master bedroom that needs a tidy before hoovering. Room of doom is just as bad as ever as now it has a train track covering the floor! I despair that I will ever get that room sorted.

Congratulations Mumto5 on the moonwalk My sports therapist did that I haven't rung her yet to book my next appointment thought I would let her recover a bit first. I ran the race for life 5Km on sunday and knocked 7 mins off my last years time. Considering I have been injured and not trained for over 2 months I was very pleased with 32mins 56secs. Just need to sort out getting some custom made inserts and I will be able to resume training properly at last.

Hi Mozzy, I lived in Sheidow Park for a while in Adelaide, beautiful place, esp Christie Beach. That was another life though 25 years ago!

Feel really down this morning, everywhere I look needs attention, just don't know where to start

I never get any time on my own to have a really good crack at the cleaning. My OH thinks I'm mad that a messy house makes me feel low, he just doesn't see it.

I need some good energy vibes please, and another cup of tea.:coffee:

Laters xxx

aawww we live in christies beach now! before we were in hallett cove, kids go to school there. it IS a beautiful place!!

and i know how you are feeling. so daunting sometimes i too don't know where to start sometimes. i have so many things i want done and instead of doing bit by bit i just see the whole big huge list and don't do much at all.
but not any more!!!!! come on pixie ... babysteps together

Hi mozzy - missed you!

thanks julie!!!!
and embb too

i knew you ladies wouldn't mind me being gone for so long :kisses3:

mOZzy_2

back!

i've wiped down bathroom and toilet already - i seem to remember it's much easier to keep on top than doing it from scratch again and again ... here's hoping!
just having a glass of water (pat on my back) and then a cup of coffee and breakfast!

then i need to do an hour studying and THEN i'll attack the list .... wish me luck

mOZzy_2

slight change of plan.
folded a load of washing, put them in the right bedrooms -
our bedroom floor is tidy; all washing in laundry basket - need to empty wm to do another load :cool:
binbag dance done!
drunk another glass of water - at least i have a shiny toilet now since i use it that more often now

just finishing off masterchef and then really off to study!


edit: whilst watching masterchef i managed to un/reload the dw (on now) and sort through the kids drawings and date them all!

now really: STUDY!!!

mOZzy_2

managed an hour study time and answered 5 of my 10 questions of my current assignment

now some lunch and then my list!
