Ive been loitering for a while, and think its now time to commit:)
but I'm going to run a week behind as I cant get to the computer everyday (hope thats ok) so I'll print off last weeks list and crack on.
If I could just get the house under control then I'll feel much less stressed.
I'll let you know how I go0 -
Welcome Glitterball. Good to see you here. Its a very friendly board and really does work. Baby steps as the flylady says:)
Gonna try n keep up this week.The secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmastime
But the Christmas things you do

Good Morning Everyone!
The sun is shiningand is meant to be for the whole day
:D
I'm in this week and I promise to stay on the wagon. My house is a much nicer place to be when I do.
I think the problem I'm, having is now that I'm starting back to work. I only have 9-11.30 when I am completely childless and if anything comes up in that time, the FLYing suffers. I need to sort it as come September when both the boys are in school all day, I'll be working 9.30-2.00 everyday :eek:
Here's my list:
Monday - Bit of everything to kick start the week
level one
HH tidying or decluttering
Hoover and mop the worst bits
Level Two
Meal plan for the week
Collect the laundry and put a wash on/or strip a bed
HHPaperwork/replying to emails/paying bills
Level three
Give sinks and toilets a scrub
Clean WM and/or DW filters
HHI or mending
Extras
If the sun shines try to do a 15 minute outside job
Empty all your bins
My Must Do's:
1. DW
2. WM
3. Put washing on the line:D
4. Wilkinsons
5. Tescos
6. Work 12-2
See you later!

I am in again! Thanks to flying for the past 2 weeks, I didn't panic (much) when we had a house guest this weekend.
The house is still quite tidy now, so hoping to keep on top of everything this week to keep it that way.

In again, but off list due to long week at the paid stuff, and busy old time here in the evenings, but I'll do what I can. DH & DS being helpful so between us?
Thanks for the lists - for tired brains they are so so helpful.
Right, time to wake the boys and throw myself through some water. WM is about done, and maybe it can go on the line today?
laters,
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Morning lovelies! :wave:
Looks like it's stopped raining finally! Been away visiting my family over the weekend, had a lovely time but the trip back was awful due to the horrendous weather, was relieved to get in only to find teenie had had a party and the rabbit had been mauled to bits by a black cat STILL sitting over itIt wasn't a good ending to an otherwise nice weekend. Many arguments and tears were shed.
Been up since 5.30, paid a bill online and walked around with my eyes shut as everywhere I look there's more teenie party damage :mad: and someone had been sleeping in my bed :eek: :mad: teenie had changed the bottom sheet but I need to change it completely after work, 6 hrs of THAT today too, plus I need to find my receipts and do the outgoings part of my account, the income already done the other day. Sick as a chip!
List:
tidy LR
mop LR
pay bill
change bedding
WM
TD
sweep outside
try and clean up paintwork
rubbish in bin outside
sort tea
look for receipts
kitchen
I'm already on super-large brew no. 2, haven't read any of the thread since Friday so hope all is well xx

So far this morning I've emptied the WM, loaded the TD, done some ironing, washed the dishes and cooked sausages for breakfast. Beavers and then a meeting tonight so I won't have much time.
Have a good day all
