    Welcome Rebecca - I'm sure you'll find lots of help and support here. I've certainly come a long way since joining the OSers early last year.
    I think the most important thing to remember is to take 'babysteps' and also that should you ever stumble, or fall, put your hand out and everyone will help you get back on your feet the best they can.
    have you come across the Flylady website yet?
    Edit to say - I'm off to bed soon so just in case you (or anyone else) haven't here's a link

    I will be playing catch up today but forced myself out of bed and have dinner in the slo cooker and stewed some apples for a crumble.

    Sink shiny and living room tidy. Have managed some paperwork as well.

    Well done to all you keeping up even with chronic sleep deprivation that comes with the little ones!! That reminds me of what tired is and stops me thinking I'm tired now!!!:rotfl:

    Happy resting to you who are all up to date:A

    Happy flying to you catching up.

    Hope you get more sleep tonight Rebecca!

    Today (or this evening, rather, as I have to go out in a little while and won't be home until 5pm), I want to put away all of my laundry and clean off my computer desk.

    AND I WILL PUT MY CEREAL BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER!!!!! (my husband laughs at how consistently I leave my bowl on the computer desk when I'm done with it)
    Hi, I'm Mich :o
