    Hi,

    I've noticed your signature, that can't help one little bit :)

    But how about you and I do what the Flyladies call and Half Hour Challenge.
    That is at 11.00am we both do something that needs doing for just half and hour, thats all. Then we report back as to what we have done.
  • cool, can I check in at 11.15 then please? That'll give me half hour x

    Oh hang on ... not check in at 11... start the jobs at 11am. lol Oh I am having a bad day today lol

    It IS ok to sit on ones behind every now and then you know............ ;)

    Encouragement always works better than judgement.

  • Ok I have just finished my half hour as I started a wee bit early
    I have managed to;

    put a load on to dry and a load on to wash

    Tidied the bedroom and sorted through a mound of washing into piles per person

    collected up a load of rubbish and thrown out

    bleached my cloths

    loaded the dishwasher with the stuff that was left yesterday cluttering up the kitchen

    just about to light my incense stick and oil burner to make the house smell lovely

    What do you reckon? It's bizarre doing just half hour, I think I might adopt this long term

    Hi again,

    I do flylady so I was pretty sure what I was going to do.

    Vacuumed bedroom and landing.
    Damp dusted the bathroom and toilet.
    Cleaned loo.
    Took recycling out.

    :T
  • oh bloody hell you have well and truly put me to shame lol

    I'm going to sit and do some puzzles with little guy for half hour and then I should be able to some more. I can carry on with the washing and drying and then I will change the bedding and hoover

    Where do you usually post your achievements Linda? In the flylady thread? x

    lol, no I havn't at all, you did far more than me, well it looks like it to me anyway.

    A quick wizz round with the hoover and wipe over with a damp cloth in the bathroom. Thats nothing ;):o

    Yes I post in the flylady thread, don't try to read the thread (if you havn't looked already that is) - unless you have an army of maids otherwise you'll read and not do!!

    I go to the first post on the first page, find the one for that day, copy and paste it into reply box then do as listed edited for me of course.

    Enjoy your time with your little one and Merry Xmas :)

    Hi all :)

    Great to see that you've got going here :)

    If you are going to do this regularly could you post into the Flylady thread though, please? It helps to inspire and encourage others to make a start, and you yourselves will benefit from a whole lot of support from other flyladies, honest :)

    Hi Squeaky,

    I know this is very much in a similar if not the same vain as flylady which is why I mentioned it :)

    Maybe this thread could be merged in with flylady so as to keep all ideas together :)
