Well, its been a week of doing nothing really, just getting up at lunchtime and waiting till its time to go to bed again. Havent seen or spoken to anyone........but I have just spent 15 mins cleaning up the bathroom a bit!!Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!:jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!0 -
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?Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

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.Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!:jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!0 -

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
GQIf you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.
