      Afternoon. Really frustrating day so far when peolple keep chatting to me and taking up heaps of my time - god I'm a miserable cow but I like being on my own and not talking to anybody whilst kids are at school.

    • Well, this is my second weekof flylady, and im impressed! You are all a much needed kick up the behind i needed to stay motivated!
      The house looks much better and its not so hard to tidy a room anymore.
      My husband is picking up a rug doctor on the way home for the carpets. I was just about to move things put of tyhe loung and my dd had fallen asleep on the floor. so i thought - ah well, boys bedroom needs clearing too in prepartion. 2 minutes in and she appears wanting to sleep in her brothers bed. Grr, so im back in living room wonedring for how long!!

      I love the carpets aftr hiring the rug doctor, they feel like new to walk on. only snag is you notice every little mark that appears aftrwards. I now hire it about once evry 3 months and go halves with a neighbour so we both get clean carpets - woohoo!
