I think you could probably survive for weeks on the edible debris under my fridge!

Jasnem · 31/08/2006 16:03

I daren't move mine

On a good note, the dds have filled 5 carrier bags with stuff to car boot from their bedroom .It was not easy. I have discovered dd1 would sell anything once I told her they could have the proceeds, and dd2 is a hoarder. The things she is willing to part with are not going to make alot of money.

I've stopped getting emails after getting loads for 2 days, and I'm getting confused. I should be doing the lounge? Luckily it's pretty good. I'm off to hoover and put the dinner on.

OMG OMG OMG! Have you seen the beautiful blue denim waistcoat/housecoat that the FLYlady sells "to act as an apron but not feel frumpy or uncomfortable" .
A vision, it is!

I've got a shiny sink but the crap on my front room floor could feed an army

tortoise · 31/08/2006 16:22

I'm lacking motivation too. My sink was shiny this morning, but haven't washed up breakfast or lunch yet.
On day 7 of babysteps and I haven't vene looked at what i'm supposed to do.

Oh and the 2 minutes of hot spotting yesterady awas just long enough for me to move dirty dishes from the dining room table in to the kitchen and realise I didn't actually ahve anywhere else to put the rest of the crap...

Will not give up, dammit!

tortoise · 31/08/2006 16:27

C'mon girls what's wrong today?
Jessajam have you got a dishwasher?
TR a shiny sink is very good!
Torty go brush your hair! hope you're feeling okay too.

JessaJam · 31/08/2006 16:47

No...I have me and a sink...

sorkycake · 31/08/2006 16:52

Oh no!
You have my full sympathy then, 'cos I don't think I could face a sink full of dishes atm either.
Did the other thread idea's not convince him at all or are you still working on him?

tortoise · 31/08/2006 16:54

Hair needs wetting and styling and i can't be bothered now!
Im ok.Just somethimg earlier has got to me.

sorkycake · 31/08/2006 16:56

What's up tortoise, you ok?

JessaJam · 31/08/2006 16:57

other thread?
Do you mean the one "does everyone have a dishwasher"? Didn't read it!

DH does all the cooking,so I do all the washing up. No space in kitchen for a washer, plus expensive, and it is only dh, me and ds so not that much washing up really...

shazronnie · 31/08/2006 17:14

Jessajam - get a dishwasher - it is the best appliance ever!

tortoise · 31/08/2006 17:16

sorky i will be ok.Im just to sensitive about things.Won't go into it on here.Basically my fault!

OP posts:
tortoise · 31/08/2006 17:17

shazronnie · 31/08/2006 17:19

And I lurve the waistcoat with the useful pockets, think I will put it on my Christmas list...or perhaps Flylady might approve of this?

JessaJam · 31/08/2006 17:23

Not sure, doesn't have the ultra-useful pockets, nor the flattering gatherinng at the rear!

fullmoonfiend · 31/08/2006 18:12

domestickler · 31/08/2006 18:36
