    Awww! Don't be down! I always say that a day of doing nothing is very therapeutic - so it's not enitrely wasted, is it? :beer:

    well tried the recipe!

    My sink is a little bit shinier but I didnt have any soda crystal liquid so I just use some soda crystals on a damp sponge first then buffed my little heart out.

    Not sure its worth doing every single time, but I guess the upkeep from this point on is easier?

    TigerLily, well done on the bathroom, do you feel better for having done it?

    I did, it spurred me on to put all the tree and decorations away, something which has been quite upsetting to still have out but now I have my house back to normal.

  • I never actually got around to putting mine up this year. By the time I had a chance, it was Xmas Eve and I thought why bother? :)

  • Hi Everyone

    It's a relief to read of other peeps going through the same struggles - paperwork, getting things done, lack of energy etc.... please count me in - I have a serious case of manana which some flybabying would really help with - I tried it two years ago but fell by the wayside!

    My failing is leaving the dishes, there's a sink in there which emerges briefly every day or so!

    So I undertake to

    1) wash dishes after every meal
    2) declutter bedroom daily - it's driving me mad
    3) deal with coffee table hot spot

    in the month of January.

    Toxic Lemon, loved the idea of tidying away just two items! I can cope with that!

    A happy New Year to all when it comes
