add an inspirational page to your control journal Any phrases or things that really inspire you.

So our routines should be a little like

Morning Routine

• Get up and get dressed
• Looking at your posted reminders
• Reading 2 minutes of reminders
• Recognizing the negative voices and changing them
• Put out your Hot Spots for 2 minutes
• 5 Minute Room Rescue (pick any room in the house) set your timer and go!

-15 Minutes Decluttering each day.

Before Bed Routine

• Keep your sink shining
• Lay out your clothes for tomorrow
• Put out your Hot Spot

My Inspiration thought for today is:

I bless my home with love, I put love in every corner and my home and family lovingly respond with warmth and comfort. I am at peace - My home is a peaceful haven

They were planted last week in pots, but it was very warm. Also I did put a bit of leftover polycarbonate sheeting over the tubs. Now it is freezing outside.

My dh and I are going out to celebrate too. We are going to the May Ball! YIPPEE...can't wait! It is to celebrate my birthday, our wedding anniversary and his birthday....all three in a row! (busy 3 days there!)

afternoon all

just popping in whilst on a different computer as my laptop has expired - will hopefully be replaced in the next few weeks.

I must say the house is benefitting from my lack of computer

Anyway just found that DH has loaded some Christmas photo's (I know it is April!) and this is a particularly gorgeous one of my boys on Christmas eve leaving Carrots out for father Christmas - that I wanted to share with you.

Hope everyone is well, TMH you sound perky - is everything healing now? I think about you all alot - will be back as soon as laptop service is resumed.

scatty and luda, hope you both have a lovely time celebrating The Ball sounds fab!

I do like seeing it all written down

ooh it won't link to the photo.
It is the 5th photo in the December 2008 gallery.

I found it! Beautiful boys Greyskull!! (dh not bad either ). Lovely photos (you'r gorgeous).

Your boys are just so cute! There's something so sweet about little boys...

Lovely photos.

And (ahem) at the risk of being extremely nosy. I love the cakes and your wedding dress

Evening all

I did do a big post earlier but my stupid computer ate it again... sorry!

Very tired and a bit razled so will be brief!
gib gald you had a good wkend away
mad glad school place turned out not too bad - hope he really likes it.
swan Feel TOTALLY the same about the state of the hous e- I feel my anxiety levels rising as house deteriorates and then it only takes a small thing to tip me over the edge LOL When house is under control I am too !
laura think that is key really. You cant do everything at once, but every step is such a positive thing - keep reminding myself of this.LOL

Had an Ok day today.
Did errands this morning (yes I know wrong day but it worked for me this week lOL)
GP app for ad review. Got 2 month repeat so can stop worrying bout that for a bit LOL
Shopping - various - but forgot DD4's school pumps AGAIN grrr

This afternoon general house bleugh... not too bad though, laundry, Dw, etc....
Actually made myself sit down with my book for 30 mins whilst DS napped as I'm shattered from the 5am start (3rd day now )

Roast chicken for dinner - DD4 ate well for a change yay! Syrup sponge for pudding ( to bribe inspire DD to eat her dinner LOL)

homework, reading, baths bed done!
DS1 gone fencing

Few bits left to do here but headache developing so not doing much!

Will be a better poster tomorrow honest!

see you all tomorrow ladies

gin if you need a cure for little boy broodiness I'll send DS2 round at 5am LOL either that or when he's in one of his refusing to nap/tearing house apart phases!! Although obviously he is extremely cute too

gin ?????? meant gib obviously....wishful thinking maybe ?!

Should also point out that I am "Frazzled" NOT "razled" - need to leave the computer now I think...

Aaaw galen I'm sure I could cope with ONE 5am start! Continually would definitely cure my broodiness though!

Just about to do online shop. Can't be bothered to go shopping and have opened the wine anyway!

Will go to parents tomorrow with their present. Bought them a lovely filled patio planter for their garden. Not so filled now though because it fell over in the car on the way home so the car is now full of earth

MN is so weird today... feel like I am back at school

lol at the gin I don't need any gin to speak gibberish!

evening All

fell over in train station - badly twisted ankle in much pain! Have made tea for ds but other than that am on sofa with peas on ankle crying like a toddler!

For whoever has mumps you have my sympathy

happy anniversary to the 2 anniversary people (sorry brain not working)

Poor you wolf Many sympathies - sprained ankles are SO painful! Was it luda who sprained hers the other week? It must be catching

It's a good excuse for you to take it easy now!

Done my online shop thank goodness. Off to lurk on the boards and drink my wine.

See you all tomorrow x

I am here
