2 of them spoke to me today.. I had to look behind me to see if they were talking to someone else or if they were in fact talking to me.. AND THEY WERE!!!!!! I've never been so shocked in my life.. and they were thick as poo.. but they spoke to me.. they probably won't ever talk to me again.. but it was bearable while it lasted!

Oooohhhh post 666!!!!

They should hire you out on the NHS, i've never laughed so much. Wish a few more of the mums were like you at my children's school!

Pink Butterfly that is great news

I'm just off to inflict some more punishment

TraceyB_2

:T This is exactly what I need - help getting in order!

I'll join in if that's ok, not sure how you all get time to log in and say how well you have done - although like some of you have said, I'm sure once you are a few weeks in it will start to get easier and take less time.

Will keep checking tonight for tomorrows list of things to do.

Off for a soak in the bath to think of my daily duties (if I put jif in the bath with me - that could be something I can cross off tomorrow:rolleyes: ):j

Looking forward to joining in:T

Moggins list is on page 1 at the bottom. Today was the living room, if you don't have the time to do it all, just do what you can.. it will come around again next week when you do a bit more because it should still be quite clean from this week (do you understand my babble?)
The first "fly" day I did was the master bedroom, Well... I had the bed on its side so I could hoover under it, I moved the bedside tables and changed the bed, dusted, that was it. The next week when it came around again, I hoovered, changed the bed, cleaned out some drawers (27+ fling boogie) and tidied the wardrobes. As the weeks go on it should get easier.
Daillies vary from person to person

I was in the habit of leaving dishes to the next morning and always made my kitchen look messy and dirty. Now, just like my sister (becca) I tidy up straight after tea, do the dishes, just doing that alone has made such a difference to how I feel and my mood when I come downstairs in the morning.

Good luck, just join in and start flying:j

Great to hear that you're both back home Pink Butterfly. Forget cleaning, you need to be taking it easy.

I've had a really fun evening trying to get a urine sample from my cat. Yes, you read that right. It involves plastic cat litter, a syringe and a test tube. Who says I need to get a life?!? Problem is, you've heard the old saying 'you can lead a cat to plastic cat litter but you can't make it wee!' Grrrrr, so far he's managed it on the door mat by the back door and in my husbands shoes. He is so annoyed with me. So, wish me luck in my mission!

moggins

LJD1 at least it wasn't your shoes!

TraceyB - you can actually put fairy in the bath and it will work just as well as Jif

Tomorrows list is now up

thanks for the list moggins

pigpen - don't look - it's kids bedrooms again :eek:
As of last weekend i have one less to worry about although it's just full off black bags until 21yo dd picks up the rest of her stuff

lil_me

Oh no not the dreaded kids rooms! Actually DS2s been very good and kept his pretty much tidy, but DS1 had a paddy the other day when couldn't find something, so you can just imagine it! They have the 2 biggest rooms but so tempted to shift DS1 into our room then there will be less space for him to mess up. He's been told we will do his 'sea bed' when he keeps it tidy. Back with my list in the morning! (hope pigpen hasn't passed out at the thought of it)

Study time done, but both lost tempers with it, for him it's ok he's been studying on and off for 6 years, me it's 13 years and I look at it and start shaking! Decided put it away and start again tomorrow when less tired as I just sat yawning!
