I finally managed to get motivated today and surprised myself with what I did (DS was out for the afternoon, so I had a bit of free time ):
*Tidied bedside table, put a framed drawing that I did of my little boy there, to make me smile!
*Did my 15 min declutter on my knicker drawer. Am embarassed at the state of most of my knickers and have chucked 'em...now need to buy new knickers!!
*Did another 15 minutes burst where I hoovered/ mopped downstairs, also wiped skirting board and radiators with some minor decluttering along the way - put stuff away in garage that had been hanging around for ages.
*Put together an attempt at a Control Journal - figured that this way, I can get other people (DH and my mum) to do some of the stuff once I have given birth.
*When I went for my 4000th wee of the day, I swished and swiped and dusted and wiped the windowsill and put some bits away.
*I then treated myself to a lovely long shower, face scrub, lathered on loads of yummy body lotion (too late for my poor stretch marks though!) and did proper hair and make-up. I feel v pampered now!
I'm v impressed with how breaking stuff down into little chunks really seems to work. Normally, I would be scared by the scale of the mess and not know where to begin...It is so nice to be able to give myself a pat on the back for doing something, just whatever little bits I have been able to accomplish, rather than seeing it as a huge scary task that I am failing at. Thanks to all on here for all the motivation! Now that's my gushy bit over, I'm off to veg in front of the sofa with a TV dinner!
