    Well Done and please do not push yourself too hard.:A

    Anything that you can feel good about doing and that makes you feel bettter is more important than just tackling a huge list of "stuff" for the sake of it.

    I had a day where I seemed to do nothing but cook - but everything was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed.

    If only my pile of ironing could be cleared in 4 hours - I reckon it will take at least 8 :cool: :eek:

    I know what you're saying hun and I really should take it a step at a time, but I've always wanted to run before I can walk which is half my problem ;)

    I should know by now that these things never resolve themselves overnight and it's only by making slow steady progress that I can even hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel. My main aim is to have more good days than bad days within a week, and today has been a good day so far :D


    Ironing???? :eek: ... what's that? :confused:;)

    Saying that, I'm going to have to dust off the iron to do DS's uniform at some point this week as he's back to school next Monday :(

    reading what everyone is managing to achieve in a day can be rather depressing
    Ach, you don't actually believe them do you??? ;)

    I know for a fact that at least 2 posters on the OS board talk rubbish. They're just keeping up with the Jones - they're pretending to be housekeeper of the year material but they're really sitting in their jammies and knocking back the coffee. :rotfl: Sad but true. :D

    Just you hang out with the rest of us normal mortals who think ironing is a swear word and dust bunnies should actually be fed. ;) You'll be fine and dandy then. :beer:

    Maybe we should start a splinter group!

    Mottos like "Life is too short to dust"

    "A spotless home is a wasted life"

    I was going to put "Up the workers" but I suppose "Power to the untidy" does not have the same ring.

    I always liked the saying that "My house is just clean enough to be healthy and just dirty enough to be happy". In that case - boy are we happy!

    I get intimidated by the amount that some people get through in a day as well - I know that I could not do that in a week!!!:eek:

    Thanks for the motto - I may use that to convince my four daughters that I am not boring - so there!

    Mature and sophisticated arguements abound in our house- can't you tell?;)

    :eek: We can't be having that on my first day back in here! :eek:


    :think: Ok, to get back on topic ;) ... my number one pledge is to be as happy as possible each day, so if that means spending all day posting on here then so be it :rotfl:

    Now you're getting the hang of it! See......it's easy! :D

    Now, you'll have to excuse me whilst I try to carry out my pledge about not having an overflowing washing basket.


    (aliasojo slinks off to cram the excess washing into a black bag and hide it............:rotfl: )
