When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

Once things behind the scenes are dealt with I think for once things will actually be 'okay'

Keep your chin up and take care.

Hidden my lovely, how do you stay so focussed and so full of energy and able to get so much done in a day? I know you have lists, but so do I but I don't seem to follow them or get them finished! I struggle so much, if i can't get enough done i feel all panicky and then think oh what they hey, and then just don't do it, even though I'm really cross things aren't done?! No idea how to get around it. any advice greatly appreciated! x

Sorry probably should have posted that on my own thread

Missymoo - You're not alone. I have list upon list but I never get through everything either. I get tired just thinking about how much Hidden achieves.

I get panicky too if I don't get done, hence all my lists They even have times on :rotfl:

Don't look at the overall picture its overwhelming. Break your lists down into what is actually achievable in the time you have to do it otherwise you're just setting yourself up to feel like you've 'failed'

I know if I get up at 6 it gives me at least an hour before the kids get up. I know I can strip my bed/open windows/curtains, have a shower and wipe down after me. Then put the washer on with all that in and make a coffee. Anything off my next list is a bonus.

I know while the kids are eating dinner I can be there and talk to them but can also wipe the cupboard doors etc down so I fit that in then.

Hope that makes sense?

It does make sense hidden thanks, I do think you Are actually a domestic goddess disguised as a debt free wannabe

I'm really not :rotfl:

It's took me from moving out at 13 to get this far :rotfl:

I love lists too and have been known to put timings on them like you. It's a great feeling when everything is ticked off especially if ahead of schedule

You deserved that coffee today HI :A xx

Hiddenidenity

It was a really nice coffee I've noticed coffee and diet coke is my downfall :rotfl:

I'm in bed already. Catching up on TV and going to have a nose around on here/do some surveys.

Think we might stay over at mums tomorrow :cool: The kids are staying but if youngest stays I have to stay too. I feel bad her keep being 'left out' so might agree to stay too. We'll see me and Mum don't really see eye to eye so spending too much time might be pushing it a bit far :rotfl:

Have some parcels to post though so won't be a NSD
