Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

Thanks PiixxySu - There is a 14 month gap between my two and my baby boy is only four months old. I didn't breastfeed this time, DS wasn't interested which made it easier for me I suppose!

Putting stuff away the night before is a good idea - I know I should do that, i'm just so tired by the evening that I give up by then. Lame excuse i know!

Moggins - Ive been checking MSE in the morning for the daily tasks. I think it would be better if I prepared a 'to do' list the night before, as this would save me some time in the morning. What time do you post the next days plan of action?

Hi!

It made me laugh when i read about getting dressed to your shoes as I very rarely get out of my PJ's!

I would just put your shoes on then! As a mother of four I can totally appreciate what you are going through. Although three of mine are almost grown up and I have started again.

Do what you can and be kind to yourself.

I've done a load of washing and hung it round the house (raining again).
Handwashed DD's jumper (why can't the check labels when they buy? Oh, that'll be because they don't do the washing!)

Not much else today, I try to always put things away as I go so it doesn't mount up. I would like to declutter more but it's not my stuff, all mine is already gone...

Made two phone calls. One took FOREVER - lucky it was a freephone number. I think I was speaking to Mr Dim from Dimtown, and he talked really LOUDLY so I had to hold the phone away from my ear.

Cooking lunch now.

Original :

• Clean through house (not been touched since 23rd December )
• 2 loads laundry (1 being OH's dressing gown...again!)
• Write shopping list In progress - writing it on the whiteboard as I remember things.
• Re-arrange filingcabinet etc to make a bit more space in the livingroom

Plan of action for the next 30 mins or so:

• Make beds Done
• Tidy DD bedroom...including "finding" her dressinggown which apparently has gone missing. :rolleyes: Done - dressinggown was under her rocking horse :rolleyes:
• Demould the hall / stairs DONE - took nearly 500ml of bleach! Not letting it getting that bad again! :eek:

Just stopped to have lunch. Need to sort out the livingroom now, bedrooms can be done when DD gets in while she is messing about getting changed

Evening meal decision : Bacon Butties :rotfl: OH can make them and it will use up the 2 packets of bacon lurking in the freezer. I'm trying to clear out the "rubbish" so I can start a more healthier eating regime...like cutting back on pasta and cheese Off to re-arrange the livingroom :eek: :wave:
