    Evening all!

    Been waiting to see what the list would be for tomorrow - just waiting for the TD to finish the penultimate load before the final load goes in the washing machine - this flying is infectious!

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    Sweep and mop the floor - right into the corners
    Clear and wipe table
    Level Two
    Wipe the worksurfaces, including underneath anything which lives here
    Clean out the fridge, use up or chuck anything at or past it's best
    Level Three
    Sort out a hotspot
    Clean a window
    Wipe any marks froms walls/doors
    Extras
    Refill salt/pepper/herb pots etc (give them a wipe whilst you're at it)
    HHI or exercise
    HHPaperwork or gardening

    Will see how much I can get done tomorrow - the kitchen is still looking good from last week's efforts!

    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:

  • Thanks Dustykitten - I'm in again.

    But, as from Tuesday, I will have a cleaner 2 hours a week! Have had her before, but she's been on a long holiday. But I will continue Flying, as although I won't need to do the jobs at the top of the list, I'll do the lower down ones that make the difference between the house being just about habitable and being nice to come home to.

    I did read the Flylady book once, and I remember her talking about CHAOS - the "Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome" - I have suffered from that in the past, and never want to again! I do find a scruffy house makes me feel depressed and miserable, so am prepared to fight against going down that road.

    Good luck everyone else!
    Keeping three cats, the car and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!

    Thanks for starting the new thread Dusty and thanks for the shopping tips!

    It's the last week of my perfect job this week:(. My top priority is finding another one! There are so many jobs at the airport that would be perfect but with DH's unpredictable job it would be futile applying for them:(

    Goodnight ladies. Sweet dreams.
