Ok today was the first day of my new schedule and erm.... well I'm exhausted Haven't really stopped and haven't managed to get some of thie bits done I really wanted to. Feel a bit stressed and dishearteded by it all but as a consequence of following the schedule, I was up, showered, made up and hair washed by 8am, having put 2 washloads on and cleaned the high chair.

I've also managed to clean the cooker, tidy the lounge, clean the sink, wipe over the worktops, change the beds, hang one load of washing up and ironing.... quite a lot really.

I'm off to see my friend this afternoon which should be nice, need to try and get Roo fed and sorted at a decent time.

Ok Roos awake best go and see to him

well Im working on my assignment again tonight, I'm bathed and in my jarmies as is Roo who is now soundo. We have tons of snow falling, I love the snow! wont be doing much tomorrow, apart from baking and maybe going out for a walk in the snow and of course all my tidying that will need doing. Am really pleased that I have managed to keep the house tidy for so long, and if someone should on the off chance call round, I wouldn't be embarrassed to let them in, well i would be right now, in my piglet pyjamas!!!!

Am going to work on my assignment until 9.30 then I'm going to watch Miranda, makes me laugh so much.

Right will pop back later. Oh if anyone is lurking and reading, please post, I'm all lonesome talking to myself!

Hi,

Try and not be hard on yourself about the schedule. Is hard enough just getting by with a little one without adding too much pressure. Sounds like you are doing good anyway.

How annoying about Miranda!

Ok going to bed in a minute but was just thinking, in conclusion to trying a day with my schedule.... some aspects worked and some didn't. The list of jobs for Monday, was great, but not everything NEEDED doing, so why waste my time doin it when I could be doing something else, the times allocated to things just weren't long enough and I ended up feeling a bit stressed and a bit like I hadn't sat down all morning. But then again, I was up showered and dressed, along with doing tons of jobs by 10.30. and I really do feel a whole lot more organised. And it is really nice to have a list to follow.

So what I'm going to take from it is:

Have dailies which I do every day and have a list of things to do on certain days, but not have time scales of things, I just need a list to know what I need to get done. And not to have a running weekly list, but to do things every day that actually need doing.

Dailies are things like, washing, wiping down worktops and cooker and hoovering and washing the floor.
And then I'll have the weekly things, hoovering upstairs, cleaning the bathrooms etc, but I can pick and choose which days I do these on, and only do them if they need it. I might make up a little file, of things that need doing and concoct a list from it. Oh I've also realised it's nice to have a list in front of me I can tick off, rather than just on the computer. This probably doesn't make any sort of sense to anyone but me, but it's late and I sort of understand it.

Having a bit of a meltdown, really not feeling too good, a bit panicy and not happy, almost ike I've drunk too much coffee... but I haven't.

I'm trying to put my finger on why I feel like this but I can't quite.....

Have just put baby down for a nap and am having a cup of tea and some chocolate to try and calm down.

I don't know whether it's because I haven't really been out for the past 3 days apart from to wander around the block yesterday. I've been invited out for lunch today in the next town, about a half an hour drive, but I've said no.... i dont have any petrol or money to waste either
