Evening all
Need to do some dot2dotting round here this week.
The weekend has flown (as ever!) st Georges day parade this afternoon, Miss A was the Union Flag bearer, que proud mum momentW was also marching with cubs.
Nothing other than washingand drying has been done here this last couple of days so need some CHAOS clearance as well,
Oh and I decided that next NYE would be open house here for our friends so everywhere has to be shipshap and Bristol fashion by 31st Dec!Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -
Tanks for the list JulieJim .
I have ironed everything. The multiple baskets are empty. Wardrobes and drawers are bursting with clothes. I need to get the summer bits out but don't want to relinquish my woollies to the storage suitcase!
I'm excited and nervous about starting my 2 week job trial tomorrow. The dress code is smart casual - what does that mean? The boss was in jeans and a sweatshirt - can I get away with the same? The uniform of a SAHM is jeans, leggings, boots and t.shirts. I have very limited options and no cash to buy anything else.
Time for bed. I won't post tomorrow am but will aim to post after I've picked up the littlies at home time.0 -
Thank you juliejim :A and thank you dusty for last week :A
Welcome ammonite :j I was exactly the same; I looked at what needed to be done overall and if I didn't have time to do everything I didn't do anythingHowever with the flylady guidance I gradually learned that I could make big improvements with lots of little bursts of effort
valli BUY THE SHOES!!

eta mumto5 good luck on the job trial you will be fab!! Re dress code I would keep away from denim but anything else can be poshed up (that's an often-used phase in the fashion industry you know) with a scarf and some tasteful bling x*If you have nothing nice to say... say nothing*"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Brill news mumto5, how exciting bet you won't sleep much tonight excitement/nerves. All the very best for tomorrow I'll be thinking of you as we all will
Delay tacticsI'll chat about anything rather than admit how awful I was last week
Aargghhh no way can I believe how far I slipped down hill. Early week I was on a roll and felt the pleasure of Lady Libertys posts around her birthday. But then I slipped.
I really need your help this week to get back on the wagon.
We are seeing more of our DGDs due to their mummies and daddies work load. Up to now I don't do jobs the days we have them at the moment just like to play with them and do nice things:) This week tho four out of five days we will have helpers so I'm gonna have too aren't I.
Thank you so much Dusty for last weeks lists and so sorry I let you down.. Will try harder JulieJim but please be gentle with me
Welcome ammonite, when it works for me it fab little and often. Pop in often and the lovelies will spur us on:)
Littlemisshappy I remember the feeling it feels good. Hope I get it this week too:)

I used to do this regularly but fell by the wayside as I could never keep up with reading the threads, so I hope you don't mind if I dip in for this week as I have a few days off and hoping to sort my life out.
