    Thanks all or the kind messages. DS ended up bunking in with me, clinging on to me, bless him. But he's still sleeping peacefully and I'm sure we all feel better after a sleep, as you do.
    You lot are fab xxx

    Morning, not much flying done yesterday but I did change the bedding.

    Thursday - Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Strip[/STRIKE], wash & [STRIKE]replace bedding[/STRIKE]Level Two
    Clear floor
    Hoover floor that you can now see
    Level Three
    Sort out your underwear
    Wipe lampshades and bulbs
    Dust any dusty bits
    Extras
    HHPaperwork
    Clear a hotspot
    Wipe skirting boards

    Unfortunately won't be flying today either.
    I think my plan of attack will be do level 1s on the days I'm working then on my days off I'll do as many levels as I can. In a month that should mean that on my work days a level one should be "ok" anyway.

    Hope everyone has a good Friday:A

    Dragonette please don't feel guilty about not doing much because no matter what you get done it is still something. You've both had a tough week so please be kind to yourself. Everything comes back round again. I've done !!!!!! all this week myself. Keep posting and you'll find you'll get more and more done and it will become easiler over time. Plus with vistors coming, there coming to see you not your home. ;)

    Bossymoo i don't know how you do it but your fantastic. I can't say anymore because everyone has put it so much better than i could. Your children are blessed to have such a wonderful mother.
    (((big hugs for you and your little'uns)))

    I'm up nice and early this morning, trying to get myself ready for kids going back to school. Exactly a month, not that i'm counting or anything. :rotfl:
    Looks like it's going to be another wet day here, so no kids to the garden. :mad:
    My plans today are i need to head to the vet's this morning and drop the vet stuff to my dad at dinnertime. Need to leave the bin down shortly and then i will get some flying done. :D
    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.

    Ditto what Vanilla has said. Any small thing you are able to do is one less thing left. It is important that you set yourself realistic goals. I have found that by posting on this thread it has given me the push that I need to clean and declutter my home. I used to be really house proud but when my ex and I split I found that I got so bogged down with the day to day things that I let my home and myself go. Therefore, my mission is to sort out my home (one baby step at a time) and then have some time to sort myself out ( I have put on 5 stone:eek:, and at the moment hate myself for it) but I know that I will get there.
