Today's reminders and mission.

Morning all

I will be home all day today, as I have dd1 off school sick, so will be popping in through the day.
Hopefully I can still get my new table dropped off this morning.

I've been looking forward to Day 21! Her ideas for managing school/nursery drawing are pretty cool. Just post them off to the grandparents! Excellent!

Get well soon wishes to Jas's DD1. Hope you enjoyed your birthday evening, Jas.

I need to have foolproof routines in place before going back to work and also to have got rid of all the clutter, which is our main problem. Our house is too small.

I'm going to be working 3 days a week hopefully. I went back full time after DD1 was born and it didn't do either of us any favours. I edit reference books Jas - big boring tomes about foreign affairs and economics that no-one reads!

Trouble with this is the house is starting to look much better ... but I have no time to play with the kids.

Guys - you're doing well. I slipped today but then I was out for most of it. Thankfully house doesnt look toooooo bad so I will start again tomorrow. I guess that is the good thing about flylady as by maintaining things they dont get messy too quickly.

Nearly got it all done! Hurray!
Now ... POP ... that's the cork coming out of a nice bottle of red. Mmmmm. DH is out and I'm looking forward to a peaceful relaxing evening.
