Confessions of a very tired old styler. Please join in.

I have loads of 'before' photos, but no 'after' ones. I keep hoping to get some after ones so I can see the difference and it'll motivate me more, but life has a habit of getting in the way.

The house is a tip and I am eating soup which came out of a carton.

Penny-Pincher!!

I haven't read this thread in ages. Glad to see it again.

Ive always been a very organised person and still am, BUT due to my health, Ive had to try and be a little more laid back about things which I hate as I just can't do it myself and nobody seems to do things to my standard. My bedroom on my side has 2 shelves covered with medications, sharps bin, a few books etc and it always looks so messy, but the nurses that come in daily need to access everything, so not a lot I can really do. I also have an over the bed table which has paperwork on it and diary, condiments (bed bound atm).

I've just moved the contents of my 400 sq. ft. shop back into my house... it's going to take a while to find the floor again, and I'm going to have to spend the whole summer a-marketing & car-booting! But at least I won't have to pay my slimy, indolent landlord rent any more, and I can pick & choose when I work, if I have more important things to do/don't think it's likely people will be out to buy.

Confessions - I just put the washing in the drier, because the cover is on the rotary airer and I can't find the energy to set it up and carry the washing up from the garage...
I have used jars of pasta sauce this week...
I seem to have forgotten how to meal plan/cook...
I am on here instead of in the kitchen washing up from breakfast...

House is pretty clean though, has to be with 3 little ones in it! Clutter, clean laundry and unpacked boxes are everywhere though!

There's mess... and there's filth. I feel as long as the house is clean it's ok to be messy...

I don't have pets, thankfully! The idea of having poo all over my house makes me cringe, it's bad enough when the children do it - I clean it up straight away though, there are limits!

Tell me about it?! I can get the living room immaculate and by the time hubby gets home it's wrecked again!

We have just moved and they don't have a playroom any more, having to have the toys in their rooms which means they have to tidy them a lot more - before bed, which makes bedtime delayed ( I wonder if they are cottoning on to that one already?!)

We havent had a playroom since we had our 3rd (he's turning 3) so toys have always been in our bedroom, until we moved 2 months ago they we're also in our livingroom, i got rid of about 2/3 of there toys when moving yet i still have more toys that some small toy shops and far too many to fit in the boxes we have.

Whats even worse is i've now decided to head to town so there toys will be waiting until later now.
