Good morning Jas - and anyone else who's around. I am 'renewing my spirit' this morning by sitting here in my dressing gown with a cup of tea whilst DC watch telly 
. About to do the menu plan and shopping list for next week so DH can do the week's shopping later this morning. Got to do morning routines, then sit down with DS1 and tackle revision for solutions and particles for a Science test. My head hurts just reading about it, but he has a test on Tuesday and he won't revise unless I push him.
Jas - enjoy your quiet morning .
slowburner - three hours' work 
- and then more! It must be good to wake up this morning knowing that all that work has been done. I hope you manage to get a bit of relaxation time today.
Bubbles - congratulations on the shiny sink. I didn't do mine last night (put going to bed at a decent time first), but was delighted to find DH doing it first thing this morning. He never finishes it (always leaves a few spoons and cups 'soaking' 
), but the worst is done.
Darts - well done on the decluttering. That really is the key to an easier life. The Roman villa sounds amazing! It's very sweet that they tidied up after themselves too. Glad to hear your routines are working too.
loosinas - don't think about all the stuff you need to declutter or you'll feel overwhelmed. Just focus on one small area at a time. Linzer recommended a good book on decluttering to me a while back, which I'll look out for you (if you see this first and know what on earth I'm on about, Linzer, maybe you could let loosinas know).
Changebags - we have cables spilling out on DH's side of the bed. It's an ongoing problem. They spill out all over the floor 
and I have to shove them back under the bed. He has tagged them all at last, so at least I know what appliances they all match up with. Drives me mad. I think you can buy cable tidies from Lakeland and suchlike. I see you are rebelling - in a big way - against the 'get dressed to shoes' rule!
dizzy - hope you have a good day out and enjoy coming back to your tidy house.
openyerlugholes - it's good to know that decluttering really does make cleaning and household routines so much easier. Hope you enjoyed your Saturday 'date night' with DH.
Perish - 15 minutes at a time really does help, doesn't it? I used to feel so overwhelmed by all the jobs that need doing, whereas now I don't feel stressed, just set my timer and work for 15 minutes, then stop. And so much more gets done.
Membership - congratulations on doing the missions. It is usually quieter here at the weekend. I'm sure everyone will be back on Monday.
JustGettingOnWithIt - oooh, another Flylady home educating! Do you get your DC to help with the Flying? I used to call my son 'Flyboy' when he was being home educated, as I used to give him jobs to do around the house. Admittedly, his initial enthusiasm faded after a while 
. I'd love to hear how you started home educating if you feel like PMing me. Home education is always a possibility with DS1.
libby - your calendar is very similar to my Organised Mum one, which also has stickers (although I think DS2 has stolen most of them now). I couldn't do without it.
Dalrymps - hope you are getting more help around the house now DH is off work.
Bitchy - hope you're feeling better today.
Going to do my menu planning now and then watch the end of 'The Good Mother' on 4OD. Anyone else see that? The extremes of motherhood... (placenta smoothie, anyone?)
