I'd love to join in too. Just like Simba_25 I keep meaning to join in but keep finding excuses....However unlike Simba_25 I don't have a plausible excuse......Congratulations on the new addition to the family.
To be honest I've always been a little scared of joining in on the Fly thead......Because this is me
Cooking ....Quite good ( even if I do say so myself;) )
Housework....Rubbish.
Although to be fair I do run mine & DH's business from home ( see what I mean... excuses, excuses:rotfl: :rotfl:)
So please go easy on me"Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into someone else's nonsense, tell yourself: Not my circus, not my monkeys." - Mark Borkowski.

Right i'm all set to get back on track tomorrow. Children are off as it's a training day at school so planning on getting them involved too. They have to do mini boogie tidy ups in their rooms every day - double their age so DD has to tidy up 14 things and DS has to do 12 things. Have to say this is making a huge difference. Maybe I should make hubby do double his age too! Lol.
Tomorrow is kitchen, bathroom, 2 x washing machine loads, dry towels for work, vaccuum throughout and prepare nice meal for tomorrow night.
Have a good week everyone and welcome to all the new starters. I only started this a few weeks ago and it really does make a difference.January budget

This'll be my second week of flying and the house is looking better than ever. Still some bits that need attention, but it's atleast clean and reasonably tidy. Is nice to come home from work and walk into the house knowing that it's not looking like a bomb went off.
