    Morning all

    Feel I've done a full day already after a morning with DS3 - he is going through a very difficult patch again and it's very wearing.

    Washing on the line (in true Polly style to get it out my way as I want to mop the floor in a minute)

    Need to work for a couple of hours this afternoon so plan is hoover and mop downstairs and then at least 1 hour of paperwork.

    ETA morning FFP - I so love those smilies x

    Hello... can I join in?

    I desperately need some motivation! My house is embarrassing and always is :o

    I'm just no good at this cleaning/tidying! I tend to get overwhelmed by it because I leave it so long then I end up doing nothing rather than thinking "at least one thing done is better than nothing". I've recently lost my job (although looking for another one has become a full time job) so have time on my hands and want to get this place in order! It's just me and the OH that live here, we only moved in 6 weeks ago (and still haven't unpacked everything) and the place is already a disaster.

    If I manage level 1 each day I'll be impressed with myself ;)
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I've spent all morning in the garden so i'm plodding along nicely. Gonna grab a bite to eat and then head back out, topsoil should be here by then..

    Dusty big hugs, i hope things improve xx
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • I've got a few bits to do today and not done much so far but still have the whole day so there's hope! As long as I don't get sidetracked that is;)

    Cleared out everything from spare room ready for student.
    Put things in loft that shouldnt have been in spare room
    dusted, hoovered spare room.
    bagged up three bags of rubbish which I am going to take to recycling centre on way to work.

    I'm just sitting with a glass of squash then got to pop out for midwife appointment. I crazily agreed to work some overtime tonight so need to cook a meal for me to take to work and to leave for DH. I couldn't pass up an opportunity for 15 hours overtime though!!

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    Afternoon all

    Thanks for the lists i'm in again. I seem to have missed a day. I had a whacking migrane yesterday and spent the day in a nurofen + fog. :cool: I did start feeling better at about 5 and cooked tea and did my dailies. I did clear the ironing basket as well. Mind you i was watching a programme thinking i need to go to bed but i'm enjoying this. It took me about 15 minutes to realise i could sky + it and go to bed. :o
