So do you add other personal things to the list provided also?

It seems like a lot to take in!! I take it once you get started and get into a routine it gets easier and better??

Really please don't stress about it. Some people like to follow the lists, they like somebody else (myself or JulieJim) to create a list and they just do it. We try to change things about each week so wash the kitchen floor will be on every week but clean the oven, clean the DW less often so over time the whole room should get thoroughly cleaned. After a month or so you'd be in the routine.

Other people do bits from the list and some of there own choice. Some do exactly as they like. It really is entirely up to you. Why don't you start with today's tasks and see how you go?

Morning all

DS1 no more school
DS2 last exam today
DS3 off sick with sore throat and temperature.

Just having breakfast then off to town as the big two are more than capable of keeping an eye on DS3 for an hour as he is sitting in bed reading/on his DS.

Priority task for me:
[STRIKE]library books
downstairs floors
move money
investigate the HI about my dodgy knee
find out where my Governor training is tonight[/STRIKE]
reply to emails from [STRIKE]F and[/STRIKE] R

:wave: Morning Flyfriends. I have just come back from some fabulous respite time staying with some dear friends. It gives DH and I a break from each other :j It looks as though DH has had a ball out on his bike and done very little around the house:rotfl:Never mind, its back to some serious 'flying' and 'flinging'. At least by following this thread I know I shall soon get it knocked back into shape.

I have just got a new to me car:j:T and managed to sell my old one for cash and the much needed disability scooter is now mine:T:j I shall be much more independent. I can even go out on dog walks again I can't tell you how excited I am.

Welcome to the new Flypersons and big hugs and positive vibes to all those who need them to help through tough times. I am feeling really good at the moment and although physically I'm not in the best shape but a good positive mental attitude really helps.

Right, off to supervise DH and get his nose to the grindstone - me thinks he's been having too much fun in my absence:rotfl:

I love the bit where you say 'Deal with DD1' - any signs of the bairn making an appearance yet?

I have visions of you issuing instructions to DD1's tum to get on with it...

she has just gone in this morning.. that baby is going to end up being dragged out.. 4cm dilated but waters still intact, I think it will be very quick once they break them..

She is scared and emotional and tired and her OH has been awake 16 hours on 2 hours sleep.. he works nights so got in at 8 and went straight out with DD to MW.. I msaid I'd go sit with her while he gets some sleep, they only live 5 minutes walk from hospital so he could run it in 2 if he had to.

I'm flinging and flying like a goodun, got a bowl of Stardrops made up and a bin bag on the arm of my charriot and I'm taking no prisoners!

Just stopped for a cuppa and then its on into the kitchen. DH has 'done' the bathroom and lavy AND put up the new shower curtain. The old shower curtain is going to be made into laundry bags for in DSS's cave after a good bleaching and wash.

On Monday we are hoping to go to the builders merchants and I intend to buy some dust sheets to dye and make into new curtains for our sittingroom it is a huge window so there are £'s to take prisoner.

Enough chopsing on here, time to get going again
