Re: [JFC]: Welcome Tat

Hi Tat,   I think you might want too much in one go. The way your place is now didn't get that way overnight so don't expect to get it tidy and spic and span overnight. Maybe the whole place is covered with I don't know what. Maybe it's an idea to try to get for example one table clear and work on keeping that table clear. Before you leave the house make sure it is clear and same before you go to bed ( inspired on the shiny sink of FlyLady) when you have made that habit your own, which can take about 3 or 4 weeks, add an other place to keep clear.   Nellie ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 13 maart 2002 22:05 Subject: Re: [JFC]: Welcome Tat >>> We will be here to cheer you on and help as we can. *** That's mighty nurturing of you Sherry, and a helpful thought to bear in mind. >>> Try not to concentrate on everything at once.

I start in a tornado of enthusiasm, and, by the next day, there's less than the slightest breeze of interest. A thought: Maybe if the experience was a little more comfortable instead of so-back-breaking. Maybe I could dump a heap of stuff onto the bed, pull up a chair next to it and work that way, rather than bend the whole way through the process. >>> We have all been where you are, maybe not with the same items, but others and we are all trying to dig ourselves out and stay out. *** "stay out" - this *is* similar to an addiction, isn't it? >>> "Giving up is not an option." *** Go, Patton! :-] Thanks for your support. You've convinced me; I'll start taking pics and posting them to the clan. And, square inch by square inch, this territorial battle will be fought. I'm paying the rent, damn it all! I want space in my bedroom for waltzing lessons! Garbage - get thee hence to endless night! (Oops! Got a bit carried away there...)
