Hello everybody.

Found you guys through my sister, and I'm hoping to be able to join in if that's okay.
I'm a mom of 5 and I work half days as well. Needless to say my house is a total chaos and I'm constantly chasing myself and the crisis fires. Hoping to put some structure into things. But it's not easy as I'm always short on time.

Anyway.. looking forward to it.

Bathroom done. No products to throw away as did this a month or so ago and have been very good at using everything up!

DH has a late apt tonight so will not be home until late so meal plan has been twicked and girls and I are now having Pasta Cheese. So miniminal effort and dishes - Yeah!!

DD2 gone down for a nap (as both girls been awake since 5.15am), DD1 flooding bathroom as we speak - playing with dollies in sink. I am off to shed to look for tile paint as want to paint 3 tiles in kitchen under boiler.

All yesterdays ironing put away and just bedding to iron tonight so keeping up well there. Will try to finish off meal plan for next month tonight and go through what I need to order so I can book my tesco delivery slot for next Tuesday.

I am also going to make up a beef curry for the freezer with the meat left from last nights roast.

Think thats it for a mo.

gonna set the timer for 45 mins now and do kitchen and bathroom. shouldn't take all that long as both clean from before. then i'll have to do some proper work as i've got tons to do, just more motivated to clean!!

ok.. so the bathroom hasn't been touched.. BUT.. she stayed asleep.. even after I picked her off the floor onto the sofa off the sofa into the pushchair all the way to school and back and she is still asleep!! I'll get out my scrubber and go do that now.. it'll only take 5 minutes.. I hope!!

I have photographed 35 bits of mess for ebay.. I will be rid.. mainly DH's trousers by the look of it.. some brand new Boden trousers as well.. he has such a cheek!

I'll try to get that listed this week.

To the bathroom---->>>>

If I can do it.. you have no excuse!

I have 8 children attend college, and playgroup, and am 'trying' to get a business off the ground.. lack of time is a BIG inhibitor here.. I NEVER seem to stop.... I conduct 'business meetings' in the pub! as it is the only place I get any peace lol

Beccatje

8 Children! WOW!! How rich you are!
(although I'm sure you too have days where you wonder as I do: What was I thinking?) How DO you manage all that? Just the sheer amount of washing gets me down!

Hi big sister! how nice to see you!

reading the posts here is already a big motivator. As I was reading this afternoon I found myself getting impatient and wanting to get going.
So I went and cleaned the toilet, hoovered the whole downstairs (which is not big as my house is not big) and yes dear sister, shined my sink!

Anyway, I'm thinking now on what my dailys should be, and what a good nighttime routine would be.

I'll be back for sure!

Oh yeah, it's not just the lach of time that gets me. It's lack of energy as well. On top of that I suffer from a few syndromes.

I have the horizontal surface syndrome. (this means that any horizontal surface in my house magically attracts junk)

I also have "for now" syndrome. I'll just put stuff down somewhere (prefferably a horizontal surface) "for now" and find myself amazed that it still sits there three weeks later.

And the biggest one is the: "I'll do it in a bit" syndrome.

Well, off to feed the hungry now. I WILL check in again, as i'm wanting to learn how to fly instead of the running-flapping-my wings-but not getting anywhere-stuff that I do now.
