Just a quick post as I need to make tea in a mo.

MoreSpamThanGlam Don't beat yourself up about not having done as much as you wanted. Please note, I have never done a mission. I've been doing missions of my own, to my own priority, until I get on top of things and then I'll start doing the missions. I think I'd put myself under too much pressure if I tried, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure it works for others.

I hope all ill los and FLYers get better soon.

gf You know you're getting older when gps start to look young!

MoreSpamThanGlam · 25/04/2007 18:26

Anyway, have free day tomorrow, so am deshoeing wardrobe (after buying a new pair of blinking flip flops today!!)

Evening all,

EHM only got the one husband, but he has a shirt fetish!

Well even though I'm shattered, the house is spotless to the point DP noticed for once! I think he walks around blindfolded the rest of the time!

I have just finished my final to do list for the day, which was this little lot.

shower 4 kids
lunchboxes
tea
washing up and drying up
put a load of washing on and load of drying on.
Kids are just getting into bed so need to go and say good night. So I will also wish you guys a good evening and good night. Will be back bright and early in the morning. Hoping that I get some sleep tonight.

Evening,

The dds are pratting about upstairs, not going to bed. I may have to go and shout in a bit.

morespam I only do the mission when it suits me. I haven't done todays. My wardrobe has stuff piled up to wait height, plus a set of shelves weighed down with stuff!
The great thing about FLY is not feeling bad about the bits you don't do. She frequently says something along the lines of "It took years for your home to fill up with clutter, and it won't get better overnight. Just keep going with little bits every day, and it will get better" It is true

babiesE DD1 went in her own room at about 8 months. DS (14 months) is only in with us because we have nowhere else to put him!

shouldbe · 25/04/2007 20:17

Yay! Finally both lo's are tucked up in bed Dd had a great time at Rainbows and ds and I went to the park while she was there Seems to have taken ages to wind them down ready for bed and dd is still sobbing a little cos she's so excited about her birthday and yet cos she's enjoyed being 5 and isn't sure she'll like being 6
I'm off to have some supper then I ought to do some ironing but I can't be bothered

tortoise · 25/04/2007 21:04

Evening all. I am feeling a bit less bleurgh now! just feel tired. Maybe last nights earlier night shocked my body! Hope to go early again tonight.
Only done the basics today and cooked flapjacks!
Lunch boxes are done and kitchen tidy. I am getting good at this!

Hope everyone has had a good day.

SimplySparkling · 25/04/2007 23:07

Hello again. Just about off to bed.

EHM You say the nicest things.

MoreSpam I've noticed that when you work hard in rooms, they just look tidier and emptier. When you don't, it looks like a tip. So don't do it and it is very obvious that you haven't. Do it, and it is hard to notice. Doesn't seem fair to me!

Jelley That is exactly what I say to myself. That and "progress not perfection".

See you all tomorrow. No work 'til Monday. Yay!
