since 7.30 last night i have top-to-toed the bathroom, it was covered in talc thanks to ds1 who is 5 and should know better Angry,hoovered the bathroom and landing, mopped the bathroom, i have done 5 washes, hung four, folded and put away 3 (waiting on other two to dry), i have done a shitload of dishes that got piled up over a couple of days, i have done windows, dusting and sweeping of teh living room, i have rearranged the furniture and completely sorted and tidied the toys, i have sorted and tidied all the dvds and i can't do anymore. i keep trying to get up and start something but I'm done. there is plenty more to do and my mum is coming in tomorrow evening to snoop babysit so it has to be done. i still have to do the downstairs toilet hoover and mop all downstairs, fold and put away dry washing and get another few on (i have let it build up Blush) then i have to at least clean the dc's room and hope she doesn't go into mine. i also have to bath the dog because she complained about him the last time. and i have to do the shopping tomorrow. i need more energy, going to putthe dinner on and hopefully find my second wind after the boys go to bed. i will sleep tonight.

You put me to shame! Well done. Hope you found your 2nd wind. Only suggestion is, couldn't you just hide unsorted washing in your room/bottom of your wardrobe? Typical me, thinking of ways to cut corners! Blush

really really don't feel ashamed. it is the most i have done in about 6 months!! i have really let things slide recently but with my mum coming (and most definitely snooping) i thought i would use the pressure to my advantage and get lots of stuff done. so i could put the washing in the wardrobe, i would rather get as much done as i can while i have teh motivation to do it! Grin i found a bit of a second wind, got another wash in, some more away, and the kitchen floor hoovered and mopped, also managed a quick walk out with the dog and dcs before bedtime. i will get the last wash hung up and then I'm done for the night. the rest can wait til the morning.

You are very welcome on our Flylady thread - we are doing the same sort of stuff but at a more leisurely pace Grin

i think i must have joined the flylady thread at least 4 times now carrots, i last a day and then i give up! Grin

I'll keep ploughing on! i think getting all this stuff sorted will be a huge chunk of the problem removed. there will be less to tackle daily so i will be more inclined to tackle it IYSWIM.
