Good morning girls.

The sun is shining. My sink is shining. Now where did I put my shoes?

You've had a good start Dontdreamit.

sagacious · 28/02/2008 07:40

No breakfast for me today I've got a glucose test and cholesterol test (never had one before)

I'm starving and its not till 10.30am

Mini sags are all up and I'm half up (showered/dressed) but need to put my slap on . have realised sadly I can no longer get away with a woosh of moisturiser and lip balm

Oh well up and at 'em

Morning all

Thanks for the thread Dream, we nearly ended up with 2 but i pressed teh wrong button.

The threads are getting so long, which is great as we have lots of newbies, that i can't remeber anythign from yesterday, sorry.

Had a good day FLYing yesterday, DP ws home so he took dd to playschool.
I dusted the living room ( with DD)
hoovered the flat (withoutDD)
Sorted out some more toys.
Then went to 'play and sign' with DP, which was great.

Today have toddler group, so i had better go and get dc's breakfasted and dressed and stop them killing each other.

Hope everyone has a good day
BBL

Morning all. Lovely sunny day here so feeling v positive too. Intending the attack the bathroom today but need to do breakfast for DD fist. However we're both up and dressed, have S and S'd the bathroom, I've had some breakfast and the washing is on. Can't make bed as DH is on nights so has just crawled into it as I got out. Hotbedding in the coffee household today. Had a worrying dream last night that I came downstairs to find my kitchen had grown another sink that was full of filthy dishes and Flylady had emailed to tell me she knew about my non-shiny sink and I'd better get it sorted.... Is Flylady taking over my life?

Hi Guys
Like your dream ivc !
TMH - your question from yesterday about the hitting would be worth starting a whole thread on, if you feel up to it. I think you'd get lots of good advice.

I'm being inefficient, but feel happier and more laidback than usual. Am challenging myself not to be critical to DH this week and it's definitely improved the atmosphere here. I'm spending far too long on MN but it does give me the mental stimulation I feel is lacking in my life at the moment.

To do:
breakfast, clear kitchen, DW, DD's morning routine.

intravenouscoffee · 28/02/2008 09:50

Have checked kitchen and there is no extra sink Already been out and posted some letters, been to chemist and ordered a new muzzle for the dog so feeling like a high achiever. Just about to put second load of washing on and have a coffee as reward for jobs well done.
Trinity remember housework poorly done still blesses the family... oh no, I've started to channel Flylady Help me somebody!!!!

damewashalot · 28/02/2008 10:14

About to go shopping but found you so getting you on my list not read but hello[waves]

also culled a few items of 'too small for gecko' clothes

have amental block about putting washing away in the drawers in peoples rooms
HELP#I dont know why, I think maybe I'm not going to do it right
god that sound so thick written down

my large 6 seater dining table is filled with nice, clean dry and neatyl folded piles of everyones clothes

WHY CANT I OPUT THEM AWAY

the drawers are a mess upstairs and there are clothes that are too amll and things I just dont want
Its like I think I have to sort upstairs out xompletely before I can out clothes away
the dingin room table has been like this for months

BiancaCastafiore · 28/02/2008 10:26

I hate putting clean laundry away too Trinity - I have found that getting some sort of order in drawers/wardrobes etc helps as then it takes less time to get the job done and there's less excuses for putting it off
Sort the piles on the table first - putting anything which is too small/not wanted into a bag to sell/send to the charity shop.
Can you at least get the clothes into the right rooms and maybe tackle a drawer a day?
[not sure how helpful I'm being]
