Rowan.. I don't watch films with those Z things in.. they are far too scary..

Vacuumed front room, back room and hallway...

Decision time.. do I take DS3 to the Diabetes group again or not??

I think I found the source of the smell and cleaned it up so hopefully things will go back to normal It was something on the back of a plastic chair that had dried so no clue, I am just relieved not to have found a decomposing body!

At least when the kids rooms come up this week they have all been done Off to do (late) dinner

I've also cleared the mega-hotspot in the kitchen/diner and sorted the food cupboards. Got rid of papers found under a tray. Found 3 packets of nan bread & 6 packets of popadoms. Glass sorted to take to recycling.
There is only 16p in my purse so DS is paying for the milk which he has gone out in the rain to buy. Well I went out in the rain yesterday to get teabags for him so I think that's fair.

So... how are the "special ones" doing? Are you finding the thread a help??

Mrs_Bee

Oh dear I don't know how you all do it!

It's nearly 8pm, I'm only just sitting down to eat and I've achieved virtually nothing from today's list. It's taken all my time just to stay on top of the washing, cooking, washing up, kids etc plus chatting to mum and nan during the hour they were here and now I have neither energy nor motivation for flying. I think I'd manage ok if it wasn't for work... or the children... or if none of us had any other activities/social life!

So how do those of you who have children and work manage? It's not like I work particularly long hours (9-3, 5 days a week at the moment) and I'm sure there are plenty of people who work much longer hours and don't live in a hovel??

Hi

MrsB I'm a mummy of two kiddies under 4yrs, and I work part time but am on leave this week. I usually work mon-wed 8.30-16.30. Which is exactly why I needed flylady. Gives me structure. In the beginning, I only did level 1 but each week got a bit easier. I've also been decluttering for a few months, and it is so much easier to clean without lots of "stuff".

Stick with it, it really does get easier each time. Don't try to catch up, just stick with the list for that day, and start with one or two things.

The hhc is itself a minor miracle, set the timer and just see what you can get done in 30min if you crack on. You'll be amazed. Then, after the first month, it all becomes habit. Making it easier still.

Having said that I am very tired today and have let the kiddies off with tidy time so the conservatory is a tip, but I did clear the kitchen after tea, just need to empty DW in morning.

Oh, and my last tip: white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner, and hang clothes to dry as soon as washer finishes, give them a good shake and hardly anything will need ironing. The iron is my nemesis lol xxx
