    Hi Nikki - Congratulations on your new Successful Business. Instead of leaving the dishes in the Sink Buy a large plastic tub and keep it next to the sink and leave stuff in that tub. (Fill it with water and detergent) if you have any guests coming you can just move that tub to the utility room.

    Also you can just wash dishes one by one in the sink from tub if needed.

    Hi all,I miss you all so much, but very often think of this thread whenever I need energy. Now my seeing designer business is picking up well, I keep myself fully occupied with all other chores. There has been little changes in the schedules, other than that things on track. Also constructing a room for my business as I need more space. Since the start up, I had restricted my net time, so not logging in like before.Take care all lovely ladies.

    Hi Everyone!!

    Its been ages since I posted here and I have dearly missed this thread!!

    To quickly update you - I have quit working, dont know if that should be followed with a hurray or a :( ...... I resigned to take care of kids after school(as my MIL has decided to move back to India). I am quite happy being home and doing so many things that I had always wanted to do, but sometimes I feel that I should work or do some business that will be financially rewarding as well....

    I have just started exploring options.... lets see....

    hi all,

    i wish to join u again. long longs days back i posted here. i feel am wasting my day without doing any proper work. am a homemaker n have a lot time. but i just waste by playing games on net n in facebook n watsapp. after studying few pages here, i feel i have to change my daily routine n make me brisk n busy.

    the main disadvantage is , i wil start posting for few days n stay back, but this time i wil try my best to post regularly. c u soon with my routines.
