This time rather than months it has taken me less than a fortnight to get set up, pictures up on walls and all. I have next to no clutter in the house now and even when it is untidy, it is never messy. I feel comfortable inviting anybody over and if someone knocked on the door I wouldn’t hesitate to invite them in. I need to focus on getting dressed each day though. I wouldn’t be embarrased for them to see the house, but I would if I was still in my jammies (the days i even have those on LOL).
I want to start following a routine more. This is something that I need to do to change my life drastically. That and following my calander/diary more closely. I know that this will have a large effect on my life! I will adapt the last routine that I tried to make and see if I can mold it to actually work for me. I need to adjust my attitude regarding this!

Life is great. I have nearly unpacked. The house is nearly always tidy and I am loving it! Now I want to continue decluttering and creating a haven! I am soooo proud of my progress thus far. I am not working here and WINZ is going to cut my benefit because (apparently) now that I am in a relationship John should have to support me! I don’t think that it is fair as we have only been together such a short time and I need to be financially independent from him but alas it doesn’t work that way SO….
If I am to be supported financially then I should be in charge of all the cooking and cleaning etc WHICH I am sooooo not good at. However that is why Fly Lady has been so great because I now know that I don’t have to be perfect I just need to do it.
I know already that I need a routine to get things done but that it needs to be fun or I wont do it.
Below is my revised routine for the new house:
Wake up motivated – 7am
Tidy bed
Get dressed to exercise gear
Supplements

Read over goals – weekly, monthly, yearly
Get something out for lunch/dinner
Fill water bottles

I am floating in this weird place at the mo and I am barely connecting with the ‘real’ world (if at all).
I look around and there is chaos everywhere. Not only just in housework but in my relationships, my finances (although a LOT less than in the past, thanks to my careful investigation of late) and within myself. I KNOW that if I get back to my routines I will start getting back on the right track. I am not sure why I am finding this quite so difficult at the mo. My world is all out of whack and I need to determine why and how this affecting my goal of being a) a flybaby and b) a committed one.

So time to stop all this self sabotage and time to get moving!
By the end of today I will have the house tidy. Progress, not perfection. My room will be habitable again, I would have made my bed and I will do a load of washing. I CAN do this and I will do this!

Ok so I wouldn’t normally advise this. I tend to be an all or nothing person and I go hard nuts then give up for ages but I am bored.
