Morning everyone.
Good luck to those of you returning to work today. Hope it's not too onerous an experience!!
And well done to all of you who have been working solidly through their lists! The enthusiasm of newcomers at this time of the year is always good for us oldies ...!!
DD has had one of her white and trembling "turns" this morning and although she is OK now (propped up on sofa eating cream crackers with Philadelphia) I am booking yet another doc's appt and insisting on blood test and visit to cardiologist this time, just to stop me worrying if nothing else. She just doesn't seem to have any energy and seems to be on the verge of fainting all the time. So serious Flying not really happening apart from a bit of laundry and a few basic routines.
Tell you what though, have done 15 mins decluttering/tidying in outrageously untidy boudoir for two days running (about to do third) and even that little bit has made a difference. So don't despair everyone - small steps really do work!
The diet - which I've been following for precisely one day - went to pot last night though in the face of delectable mezze feast in wonderful Lebanese restaurant. Ate healthily but far too much and had wine as well ... . A pitiful performance!.. And am knackered cos was out far too late.
Am supposed to be doing hwk for academy too and haven't even started yet. Oh dear.
Anyway, how are all of you?
Ah Doublemum it was you who was one step ahead of the missions!! Well done! V. impressed by bread-making too.
Lilleth arf at mistaking dw for dear wife!! Must admit, think a dishwasher is worth its weight in gold. (Regulars will know that I drone on about this all the time.) It pays for itself eventually too cos you use far less water and sterilises everything at 60°c. Would be one of the first things I would try to save in a fire. Well done with getting through your list yesterday - you are obviously on a roll today too - glad the system is working for you!!
Crikey Nicknacks you had a humungous day yesterday!! Top marks - a real blitzer of a list! Think you win the golden duster!! (Closely followed by Ellie and Silvery!!) Was wondering though, precisely how your alcohol was decluttered 
Good going with the meal planning Goth
Oh Ellie you obviously have much more self-discipline than I do (re: wine) (and Flying for that matter!) which is why you have maintained/lost weight over Christmas, and I have ballooned 
Need to get serious about this and go back on MFP too. Enjoy your afternooN.
Wewereherefirst would love to be able to offer advice on procrastination but am Olympic standard!! Flylady system definitely helps and some people have also found a book by Brian Tracey called "Eat that Frog" useful - think there is another called "Kiss that Frog" - can't remember which is the original. Check it out on Amazon. Like the last item on your list today btw
Silvery a humungous list from you too yesterday! Btw, if it's any consolation, I seem to recall that dd went through a mahoosive "no" phase around about 3 yrs - think it is a natural stage of development ...so don't take it personally, although I remember it being rather demoralising at the time! Hope your ds is feeling better today!
MC despite all my good intentions to get organised for next week, decorations are staying up here until 5th by request of youngest of the house!
[dons dark glasses whilst looking at WhatKatydid's shiny sink and halo don't get demoralised by other people's lists - we are all at different Fly stages ...and little and often is better anyway!! Oh dear re: moon sand 
Hope it can be hoovered.
Well done Mercury you sound very on top of things!
As do you Trazzles!
Crikey, all of you are putting me to shame on this thread. Better get my act together
Swan yes, must admit that huge part of house is also arranged with no-one's convenience in mind. Most bits of furniture are situated where they are because someone has staggered up the stairs as far as they could and dumped them in easiest place!! Well done re: fitness drive!
MummyD definitely see what you mean about extending your dh's 'to do' list!!! Great that your ds is chipping in though!
Toffee oh lord yes [just remembering how wearisome getting dd to write thank you letters is - about five times more wearisome than doing it myself]
Kirk1 Phew that you have a new wm arriving shortly. You don't won't to be without a spin facility in January!! You are dead right re: baby-steps and what a lovely dh you have!! (It never occurs to mine to even wipe down a kitchen surface never mind deep clean ... and as for what he does to bin lid [shudders])
LadyD if it's any help, the pharmacies here (mainland Europe) will accept/take back old out-of-date medicines/pills and dispose of it properly for you. Don't know if it's the same in the UK (if you are in UK that is!) but maybe worth asking.
Happy New Year to you too Castle!! Sounds like you had a fab family Christmas all together! We've seen family in dribs and drabs this year so I'm hoping for an "all-together in one place" Christmas in 2013. Hope you enjoy your brother's visit!
Hope you caught up on sleep MrsPennyApple
Hello KitchenFairy glad baby-step one is working for you!!
Lauren [ohhh - excited to see summer house] Sorry about ringworm - hope the doc can sort it out.
Keep warm Jdub!!
Huge wing flaps to Gossip, Loveinidleness (good luck with baby-steps), Justgettingonwithit and anyone I've forgotten.
Hope I haven't missed anyone out - got a bit confused by double posts and scrolling up and down - obviously drank more than I thought last night!!
Hope you all are having productive days!!
