    I do solemnly swear, I will get up early tomorrow and clean the kitchen before my shift. I promise I will not lie in bed like a fat walrus before jumping out with just enough time to rush into work.

    Well i'm still in one piece(just about) and we won, so very happy. Although i feel like i got hit by a truck! Going to put LO to bed, have a bath and then collapse in a heap to watch top gear. And possibly see if i can eat my weight in chocolate...:rolleyes:
    Happy flying.

    I think I'll give this a go this week too please :D I bought the book,made a flylady file and sat it all on the shelf to gather dust like most other things in this house...:o
    We need a daily 27 fling boogie for around a month to get this place shipshape for xmas :eek: I am a terrible hoarder (it's not just food you know....)
    We started to Ebay last week but this makes more mess, so its starting to really get me down.. I've got to do something and seeing as I now have OH at home for a further 2 weeks I'm going to make the most of it and work him so hard he'll be begging to go back to work :rotfl:

    Welcome back Lil_me!

    Thankyou for keeping us going for the last few weeks pigpen - extra thanks for helping me keep things in perspective in the last few weeks which haven't been the best.

    Hoping to cheat tomorrow. DH has made a lovely dinner tonight because i've been on a weekend course. I banking on the fact that he's also going to clean up! That's the theory and i'll let you know if it works.

    Here's to a fantastic new week and welcome to all the newcomers xx

    Nothing left!
  • I'm all done for today :j

    And as I enjoyed myself so much last week, I'm going to join in again next week (if this is ok?? ;) )

    I'm hoping to do most of the list each day this week as it will be my last week at home before I go back to work :eek: and it would be nice to get my house back in order before xmas.
    Like Nic82 I'm going to attempt to do my flying when I get home on an evening when I'm back at work so that I can get some "me" time at the weekends.

    See you tomorrow

  • Hi,

    I'd really like to join this week as well if that's OK? I've been trying to fly over the past few months but always seem to start flagging after a couple of days. You all seem so nice and so positive that I am sure that by joining in with you it will give me the motivation to really get my house sorted, especially in the run up to Christmas :snow_laug .
  • Evening, I hope you're all keeping well.

    Good to see you back in charge lil_me though pigpen has been keeping most of us on track, thanks pigpen.......... I say most because I have been trying but as most of you know LIFE just gets in the way sometimes.

    but God loves a tryer

    It would have been my friends 43rd birthday last Wednesday so I was a bit all over the place. I've had her dh and littlies over this weekend. He jokes that they've become food gypsies since k passed away at the end of August as if anyone offers them dinner they're there like a shot!:smiley: No left overs in my house!:D

    Hopefully w**k and life won't get in the way too much this week and I'll try to keep up......

    xx
