    Right, getting back on it again! (How long was it since I last said that?!)

    I am off work sick this week so am going to spend this evening with the bank statements and see what damage I have done in the last few months.

    I also spent 60 minutes today ordering all my ingredients for xmas cakes online, took a while to sort through to get the best deals.

    Usually I would be out at the markets but can't get out at the moment, but at least I have got that job done|!
  • Hope you are feeling better Katy. Long time no see.x

    Still in my pjs drinking tea, but decided I can be productive AND lazy at the same time!

    Have transferred by internet over to the new house ready for moving next week (suspiciously easy...)

    Answered some ebay questions and now trying to decide whether to list furniture on ebay or freecycle. Ebay is a lot more effort but might pay a little. Hmmm
  • I need to get back on this wagon. Have been lazy of late cos OH has been off work. So whilst I've delegated jobs i have taken my eye off the ball. Maybe get Christmas done then i can get back on track!x

  • Right time to get back on the wagon. OH hopefully back at work soon so i need to get back up to speed.
    Washing is my biggest of biggest hates. Its when its done and is piled up. I don't iron anything unnecessary so i need to put it away asap.
    It needs to become a morning post school run job!x

    How's things going L2B?

    I really need to get out of this 'letting things slip' cycle but I have no idea how!

    Been managing to keep up with my productive 60 minutes mostly, but it usually consists of housework.

    Does that even count?!

    I should be doing it anyway, so not sure I can count it as extra productivity!
  • Hello stranger, hope you're well?
    OH now back at work, so Im trying hard to stay on top of all the jobs. Was mega organised yesterday and it felt good, so just gotta hold onto that feeling!

    Maybe if you add one job onto your 60 mins, but dedicate 15 mins max to it?? I still use the flylady app to pick out jobs that i know need doing. I do a blitz on a Monday that is Hoover, dust and mop all areas and that takes me an hour. So that means that on the other days of the week i can do little outstanding jobs.

    Good luck. L2B.xx

    Resurrecting this... :) I've let my 60mins plan slip, and I definitely see the difference in house work etc. So as od today I'm getting back to it. Going to clean the kitchen floor soon as the first thing in my 60 minutes.
