Yes, everything is fine. I just realised that it was too soon to be separated from my son, so I chose to be a stay at home mum. I can already say it was the best decision I've made in a long time
I've cleaned the bathroom, put on a load of washing, and kept baby entertained. He has the vomiting and diarrhoea bug, so all other time has been spent cleaning up poo and puke.HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69

Hi All
Please can I join? This thread is me down to a T!!! I am always saying I don't have enough time for stuff, like working on my business (I have started up my own business but employed full time as well), exercising, reading etc etc, but that is because I sit in front of the TV or look on Facebook or the net or whatever else I can thing of. I've been saying I need to get off my butt for ages and now is the time! I got a new job a few weeks ago and when I start I will be getting home 45mins to an hour earlier and I had already decided I will use that time to either clean, iron for the week (I begrudge standing there ironing all my weeks clothes in one go, feels such a waste, but I will be starting work an hour earlier too so I need to be more organised!), do more exercise, do some reading or whatever it is I want to do that is better use of my time. Granted some days I will do nothing, but that's ok as long as it's not all the time! I always find when stuff is done, mentally it makes you feel much better!
So yesterday in my 60 mins I did some washing and put the dry washing away, washed and dried up and cleaned the kitchen (we are great at leaving it till the next day, particularly the drying up only to have to re-wash because of water marks!), cleaned the kitchen, tidied the bedroom, organised most of my shoes and threw an old pair away and I'm sure there was something else???
Today I have (in around 90mins) washed up and cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the inside of the bin and inside and out of the microwave, not dried up but wanted to do the things I have been putting off, cleaned my new cookie box and organised my cookie cutters/cake decorating stuff. Ended up using the cookie box for bigger decorating items and my old box for cutters, but it's all nice and organised nowHave some new items to wash and put away but that will be another day, that could be an hour in itself! I have also made piles of mine and OH's stuff to organise.
Sorry for the long post! Hope everyone has had a productive day. CL£9,000 (Ish) in 2013

Hello Everyone
Hope theres room for another, I've just come across this thread have spent more that a hour reading it from start to finish.:)
I'm brilliant at putting things off forever, but what I'm not good at is not feeling guilty about it or getting fed up with myself because of it.
I easily have an hour a day spare, I'm embarassed to say I have hours and hours a day to do stuff.:o I'm at home all day and my kids are 9 and 11 so its not as if they need me all day.
This thread has motivited me, so hopefully I can keep it going for a change.
So today I've: Put washing in, drying done, generel tidy, hoovered front rooms and cleaned kitchen floor, put clothes away and wiped bathrooms, paid a bill, sent birthday present.
Tomorrow I need to go shopping, write a letter to the school, arrange a met up with friends, change the beds, ring my Dad, Oh and pick the dog poo up out of the garden:(
I live overseas so the time difference means I'm off to bed now, looking forward to achieving my list tomorrow:)0 -
Hi All
Well today in 90 minutes I have:
Put away last nights washing up and washed, dried and put away some washing up from lunch, then cleaned the kitchen down, including some tomatoey looking sauce that I hadn't noticed had somehow splashed on one of the cupboard doors! Dusted, cleaned the bathroom, washed and hung up some washing and put dry clothes away. I also earlier on today did a first load of washing and did the weekly shop, as well as do a few bits for my friends hen party trip next weekend. Also swept the kitchen floor and most of the living room. Need to do under the chairs and round the edges properly.
Am off work today so might cook OH dinner for when he gets in, got an hour before I need to do that though. Should I do some more work or chill for an hour? Hmmm.

I have not done my 60 minutes today, and I am still not doing it!
I am currently watching TV with a class of wine, cuddled up in my duvet.
No productive 60 minutes here whatsoever!0
