the FLYLADY CULT bedroom zone; new recruits welcome

[shazronnie]

Morning everyone am I first up?

everything going OK I guess... just keep myself to myself when im there. EVERYONE smokes, so they all congregate in the garden most the day, so me and DS just sit inside... just like sitting at home I guess

trinity never mind.. the kids won't starve and unless dd is spreading poo about the house her backside can wait a minute

go buy yourself some ginger biscuits; they helped with my morning sickness. or crackers?

if dd is going back to school soon it will get easier. if you don't have any uniform etc for it order it online at m&s if you can

or go to Matalan and buy yourself something nice and shiny for your zone.

trinity really feel for you where about in the country are you? maybe there's someone willing to come lend a hand.

Don't know what I should be doing but went upstairs with my three boxes to declutter bedroom - because how can you clean it if you haven't even decluttered it. Have done down one side of bedroom which is the floor, bookcase and a set of chest of drawers. Have three boxes full and not looking forward to the putting away box that will just clutter up other rooms.

DD has hoovered living room.

Are you supposed to declutter before you start the cleaning lark?

Trinity - hope the ms starts to clear up soon It's hard to feel motivated when you feel like pants, but it doesn't hurt just to think oh sod it for a day (or more if necessary).

SKYTV - I'm only on day 4, and looking at the state of my bedroom I feel it might be too much to take on this early (DlamIs says trying to justify being a lazy cow )Not that I'm looking for excuses for anything, oh no not at all..hmmmm....

And I've not got my shoes on and not done my hair yet but at least the sink is shiny, washing up done and clothes are out on the line so it's a start. Certainly a vast inprovement on this time last week.

longway yeah, you can't clean it till it's decluttered. and you're supposed to be setting your timer as well

is anyone - um - going to go peer at this UK Flylady chat hour tonight? Just for a laugh?

ohhh where do we go for the chat hour?

Trinityrhino, where abouts are you? Totally feel for you. If you can force yourself to do a tiny bit you will feel much better. DONT SAY YOU CRAP AND HATE YOURSELF THO COS THATS NOT TRUE.

I tell you what, I have had days where Im positively neglectful and I am not pregnant with my third!

thanks guys, I have now changed dd2 and put on a frsh vest, me and dh did a bit in the kitchen abd put the dishwasher on.
I'm still trying to find a hairbrush, I will have clean hair by the end of the day, but I NEED to brush before I wash I almost have dreadlocks ugh

dd1 goes back tomorrow, I do have uniform but I need sand shoe/plimsolls.
I live in annan in soctland about 7 miles from gretna
eating some cold rice pudding at the mo which is helping, then I WILL find a hairbrush

Trinity, I got married at the Mill Forge at Gretna Green last July

aww it's lovely isn't it

DD1 found the hairbrush for me, behind the telly of all places!!

now to attack the dreads

Hello all, could i join in please?

Had the place gleaming on friday and now dh is back at work it needs doing again!

Have been following the threds and managed to keep the sink shining! But not the lace ups. (not even dressed yet
Need motivation, got alot planned for today!

Just need to mve now though.....

Poor Trinity

Just do a few tiny steps and concentrate on the positives; feel free to rant - these flylady threads keep getting sidetracked!!

this is monday blessing instructions which is just a quick whizz round the house to bring it up to basic standard.

I find the home blessing thing very good; it was the 3rd time I did it today and it was really easy because the house was quite cleahn already. having a timer def helps.

welcome dunnyjo, and anyone else who is new; once you enter you will never leave (well, not until your sink is shiny!!)

this morning I got up and said to dh 'you know what it is tonight, don't you?' I was going to say 'home blessing hour'

and he said 'Yes, happy wedding anniversary' and gave me a big hug and kiss

I mean I had remembered, I had got a babysitter organised... but it wasn't the first thing I thought of... that was flylady

ok, I tried to brush my hair but it hurt sooo much
Ashamed to admit that I haven't brushed or washed it or ahything for at least 2 weeks, It's knotted dreadfully, It's halfway down my back and sooo tangled I cried

but I did go out and buy the sandshoes dd1 needs and I've found all her uniform

also I managed to make the midwife app I had to make at the docs

okay so now you need to add 'brush hair' to your control journal

go on, get it out

or put a sticky label on your head

trinityrhino, I was like that soon after DS was born. Don't feel bad about it!
I found spraying my hairbrush with leave in conditioner helped to get the big knots out.
Or just tying it back, putting on a headband and trying to pass it off as 'boho chic'.

I don't have a control journal yet, I seem to stop myself from making one casue I think I won't get it right ugh grrrrrr god I annoy myself, it's really nice to write the truth here about hoew crap I am

I am starting my control journal now
Thankyou soo much to all who reply and keep me going

I've no idea why I thjought that just because I had a child and got married that I would automatically know hopw to run a house and be Mary Poppins

Yup, we're in a cult - Cappucino just confirmed it. I lay in bed when I woke up this morning, and my first thoughts weren't what to do with the children today, but I wonder what flylady has in store for me today!!!

trinity - well done on finding the hairbrush!

well girls my plans for doing the bedroom today have been scupperred, DS and me woke up with millions (well ten each) of flea bites so we had to go and buy flea spray and I'm spraying all the rooms and washing all his bedsheets etc while he sleeps in the attic bedroom!

Trinity - the first thing my dh said when I told him about this thread, flylady etc, was "but doesn't it come naturally"???!!!!! I guess he thought that as well as the genes which make me a woman, there was a housekeeping gene as well.

Just had to lol at the Go to bed reminder which arrived at...........

4.45am this morning

Helloooooo!
Alot of chatting going on this morning!!
Im knackered,not the best nights sleep being on hard ground with a fee old duvets for padding!!

Girls really seem to like the CM so they should be ok when i leave them tomorrow.
The boys dad has offered a lift home tomorrow which would be a lot better but will feel odd.Been seperated for 5 years now!Least i wouldn't have a possible 2 hour wait in Taunton for the train!!

(((hugs for tr)))I took a homeopathic tablet for morning sickness.Worked really well.I will see if i can find a link to the name of it!

Hair cut today at 4 so not sure how much FLYing will get done today!
