Your post perfectly describes me recently. I love cleaning but I haven't felt great things have built up. Ironing, kids toys etc I just don't know where to start with it! The getting up etc. I need to change everything you've posted too! Other than the project, I'm rubbish at everything like that so I just don't start lol! x0

Don't let it get you down Scuff, just work at it day by day and eventually you will be back to the way you want to be.
Sometimes we just let things get on top of us and need a kick up the bum to get back into gear :P

This is exactly me right now. My house is a pigsty and is doing my head in but I can't get motivated to get it sorted. I need to write lists and stick to them. My creative outlet is cooking and I can't even be bothered with that right now!K&Co (0%) [STRIKE]£58.40[/STRIKE] £0; Nat West O/D (18%) [STRIKE] £950 [/STRIKE] £937.26 Barclaycard (21.9%) [STRIKE]£1,039.01[/STRIKE] £799.06; Barclayloan [STRIKE]£4,756[/STRIKE] £4,637; mum (0%) [STRIKE]£35,000[/STRIKE] £35,000 0% Total Debt [STRIKE]£41,803.41[/STRIKE] £41,373.32 :eek:0

This all makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER. You would not believe!! I think sometimes we all spend so much time worrying about how everyone else is perfect / the best housewife / the most organised when really we are all the same! :rotfl:Still hopefully this will instil some good habits in me and make me into this perfect person I'm so intimidated by!! We can all do it together
My first day of the new plan is a bit lame, as I only got in from work at about half 8 and as I left this morning at ten to 7 my little body is pretty much dead! Kept thinking I could leave and then things kept going wrong and then when I finally did leave I got 5 mins down the road and had to turn back as I'd forgotten to do something! But I'm home, had a lovely cuppa and watched some New Girl now so I'm slightly better!
Tonight I will:
1) (tidy Scuff) tidy my desk - I'm sat at it and this requires as little movement as possible. I got ready for halloween party sat here and so it is covered in ALL my makeup, everywhere. I can't even move the mouse anymore :rotfl:
2) (no sleepy Scuff) Be in bed for 11pm. Not get ready for bed at 11, not think about bed at 11, IN BED!!!! I'm still on shutdown at work tomorrow so don't need to think about wearing real clothes, just scrappy trousers and tshirt. Might make some tuna pasta for lunch if I cba
3) (creative Scuff) NOTHING! Sorry for the bad start but it's just too late!!
I was a bit rubbish today too with spending, althoguh only small spends this is where I fall down, I had change in my purse and so I bought a choc bar from the vending machine (42p) and 2 DISGUSTING cups of vending machine coffee (20p each) as I'd run out of my own coffee. Total waste of money, and I'm a bit cross about it!
Hope everyone else is good, thanks for making me realise I'm not a big messy out of control freak on my own :rotfl: (ok ok maybe I am, but you know what I mean) xx

Well, I haven't tidied my desk but I have emptied and refilled the dishwasher, emptied the 'soaking pots' sink, tidied around the kitchen, collected all the recycling up to take downstairs when I leave for work, and took all the change out of my bag / purse and put it into tins. This stops me spending tomorrow.
Now I'm going to run to bed and make it in time to tick that one off!! Night all! xxSeptember 2016 GC £21.37/£1200
