    Hi missy, ur doing really well, even doing a little bit is better than doing nothing.

    Can you not just pick up a couple of items every so often throughout the day. If it is a really big job, then start small and work your way up to the bigger things. dont rush it all as it will make it seem like an even bigger job.

    Hi all :)

    sounds like you've done plenty missy, more than me anyways lol I have zero motivation yet again, today I have loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, wiped round the kitchen and thats about it lol

    In my defence my friend came round just after 10 and only went home about 30 minutes ago so couldnt really do much whilst she was here that would have been rude :)

    So just sat here watching x files and thinking I might make a brew in a minute. I want to get done in the next hour

    Empty dryer and put washing away
    put another load on
    hoover downstairs

    so thats the plan :)

    well bella, you have the perfect exuse coffee and chats sound much better than stinky housework. I have been having a little rest for the past 3 hours, hardly a little rest lol, but I am going to hang the other lot of washing up to dry, do the rest of the ironin, think I'll have to put more4 on for this, and maybe make some lunch..... still avoiding the big jobs, mandz i do seem to be doing little and often but things just dont seem to happen quickly enough for my impatient self lol :)

    Ok just went and sorted my freezer out!!!! Had a very strange compulsion to do it!! Have found lots of things i didnt even realise I had, like 3 dinners worth of curry and bolognaise. OMG I JUST TURNED THE TV OVER AND SAW DESPERATE MIDWIVES..... DO NOT WATCH THIS PROGRAMME IF YOU ARE IMMENANTLY GIVING BIRTH!!! THE FIRST 2 MINUTES HAS MADE ME WANT ALL THE DRUGS AND EPIDURALS I CAN GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK deep breath where was I, I have nice calming dragons den on now......erm erm... oh yes the freezer..I did end up chucking some stuff out which I hate to do but some things had been in there nearly 2 years and definitely had freezer burn yuk yuk. Have sorted it all out into sections now too so I can find things, have a shepherds pie and fish pie in there, and lots of chicken, fish and mince etc, along with 8 lots of cheese!!! Very pleased I have so much food, have bread and some pizza too but no milk or marg, will have to add that to the christmas list. Hung the washing on the line, picked the tomatoes and emptied the bin..... still need to do the ironing though.....

    ETA Erm I think I must have been more traumatised by that program than I thought, I'm not going to put marg and milk on my christmas list..... more like my shopping list!!!!! :)

    Well jobs done except putting the dry washing away :) will take 2 mins after I've got DS home and hes in a trance watching cartoons lol.

    So once I've done the school run I will

    Put the washing away
    Put the washing in the drier (not risking pegging out might get blown away lol)
    Some shredding

    the coffee and chat was nice :) could do with family not keep ringing me, i'm getting a bit fed up of the same old conversations now, I feel like saying I will ring you when the baby is here LMAO i feel dreadful saying that but theres only so many times someone can ask are you ok? how you feeling? not long now! arghhhhhhhhh

    anyways rant over be back soon :)

    I had a quick skim over the last few posts, and I did think there must be something I had missed because I didn't understand why you would put them on the Christmas list!!!
