Welcome to WEEK 6 of the FLYLADY ME MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE!

We flyladies as signed below do hereby pledge to attempt to improve ourselves / our souls / our outlook (delete as appropriate) in our own personal challenge. There is no such thing as failure, god loves a tryer, and (apparently) you get out of life what you put in! So here goes, and throwing the gauntlet down is:
Each week I'll assign stars to anyone who has worked towards their challenge! Every little helps!

If you would like to join us in the hall of fame (shame? ;0) please pm me and I will add you to the list. Each Sunday I will update with any progress, so please keep us posted! No challenge is to large or too small, and for some of us, just signing up to a challenge is a little victory all in itself. Don't be shy! If you think you don't have time for the challenge, maybe the challenge could be to make some time for YOU!

ETA: Recently "babied" flyladies are exempt, as are those awaiting surgery or coping with any health issues, those caring for poorly loved ones etc

Me Challenge: Bossy, bearing in mind my challenge, I'm wondering about how to report any progress. I've given myself until the end of the year to get everything shipshape, so should I give a weekly/monthly update as I'm trying (but not always succeeding) to get some money together each week to increase the coffers. I have a 2 hr weekly job but am paid in cash and the majority usually gets spent on food but sometimes I manage to save a little. My main income is my pension which is paid at the end of the month. In addition there ar.e items which I hope to sell on that well-known site f-lake. (Hope all that makes sense!)

"See" you all later.

Rebecca

:wave: sorry for the late reply, I'm doing stars weekly so just let us know if you've made progress, however small!

Lovely to "see" you! Hope you get some good news soon, the waiting is awful X

I'm in again!
Had baby dragon 4 weeks ago tomorrow by c-section so ive been out of action, and am not fixed yet but getting there, so ive decided to start slowly!

Many congratulations!

Sorry for multiple posts am trying to catch up! Night all X

Kaz2904 · 7 October 2013 at 10:32PM

Have finally got the last load into the TD. After my last post I have picked DH up from work, dropped some bonfire night tickets into my Uncle's garage to (hopefully) sell, gone and bought new sheets and pillowcases from Dunelm, come home and cooked tea (eaten at the table

), cleared kitchen, stacked DW, DH has painted DS's door and I have done the first coat of paint on the banisters. We're getting there with the challenge!
Am now achey and tired but my tooth's better

Hi all

HJ thinking of you and your DH - Bossy is right, the waiting is the worst
LSD congratulations
Pigpen thank you for the gummy picture - she is gorgeous

I'm another one who needs a clear, clean house. I'm able to cope better with things when the house is tidy. The dehoarding thread did wonders for my mental health and my attitude towards 'things'.

If it's gone it's done

Monday - Bathroom, shower room, toilet
15 minutes...
wash the floors
Empty any upstairs bins
30 minutes to spare ...
Got an hour....
Clean the shower cubicle

Extras
Catch up on any handwashing
Deal with any paperwork

Still not done my needle book *rolls eyes* but I went to and see my Grandad who is still in hospital. He thinks he's coming home tomorrow but he isn't

hopefully by the end of the week he will be ready to come home.

Tuesday - Stairs/landing/Airing cupboard/kids room
Test smoke alarms
Dust shelves
Hoover floors

Anyone up for a HHC from 7.30/7.45? :j

helen_jelly · 8 October 2013 at 7:07AM

Morning all

Thanks ladies xx

Todays plan is to get downstairs sorted - we have a busy day and DH has been up ALL night so no idea how much longer he'll go before collapsing in bed, I need to chuck our minging sofas out into the back garden as yesterday I won on eb@y a gorgeous 3 piece suite, lovely colour and fantastic condition, well made and so on and got it for £23, I was jumping around the room when I won it [had offered £50 at the start of the auction but got refused so was double happy lol] anyway, old one needs to go out, room needs to be tidied, and then from 3.30 onwards its all systems go - DS has a friend round, sofa being delivered, pick up DD from dance class, do tea, blah blah blah lol

I'm a happy soul today [just wish DH would sleep]

See you all later xx
