Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

:T :T I have a floor!!! :T :T I have a desk!!!! :T :T I have lots of space and can walk from office to livingroom without negotiating an obstacle course!!!:T :T :T :T

Erm, can you tell I'm pleased???;)

I have been VERY busy today, even though I didn't stick to my original list, nor Moggins list I'm pleased with my achievements.
I have recycled a mound of paperwork and filled loads.
I've reorganised my cupboards in the 'office' so files I currently use are closer to hand.
I stopped sniggering at Niki needing storage for her collection of notebooks/pads as I found a mountain of my own:o
Surfaces of office are dusted & cleaned & floor is vaccumed.
I have to say it's so pleasing - I'm well chuffed ... and I think the PC is too as it's working better :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: It was probably suffocating previously
The bonus of this is the remaining part of my coursework will be much easier to do now that I can access the net more comfortably - and I've lost yet another excuse re listing things to sell on ebay.
Time to crack on with tea now,
Thanks for all the motivation and inspiration everyone!

PS ... Also found something else on the desk that was well over due posting - and a stamp to go with it so it should get there soon.... only about 4 months later, lol.

The filing cabinet is rehomed :j It took me over 2 hours (and the bag of paper for recycling is still sitting next to the desk ) but I managed to sort out under the stairs and get the filing cabinet under there The contents are now

1. Top Drawer:
   • Greeting cards (female birthday, unisex birthday, sympathy, thanks, blank)
   • Gift bags (non christmas)
   • Craft paper & card
   • Blank paper - smartprice
2. Bottom Drawer
   • Pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners etc all sorted out and put in boxes or jars within a bigger box
   • Envelopes
   • Stickers including hole reinforcers
   • Lined pads / graph pad / notebooks / exercise books
   • Hardback notebooks x 2 & Pukka pad
   • Good quality blank paper (for gifts or Official Letters)

Also managed to throw out 2 cardboard storage boxes which had broken handles, and sort out all the craft stuff which involved throwing stuff out :j You wouldn't know it to look at the livingroom (except for the lack of papers and filing cabinet ) but if you look in the understairs cupboard you can see the results of my hard work

Still to do though are the instruction manuals and some re-juggling of the 2 accordian files I've already filled which I'll do when I've been to Asda tomorrow and got another accordian file :D

Not managed anything else though since lunchtime Will get stuck in again tomorrow, and if not, I will on Monday :wave:

It wasn't easy, :eek: and I haven't anywhere near finished, but I did get a fair amount done in the main bedroom today!

I removed all the boys' stuff and put it in the garage on its way to a bin/boot fair/charity shop, working on the theory that if they haven't wanted anything from there in the past year, then they don't need to keep it.;)

One bin bag of rubbish, and one for recycling removed.

Pile of stuff destined for ebay sorted and stacked.

Bed clothes washed.

Clothes sorted, and some thrown away. I still don't have anywhere to put them, but they are neatly folded on the floor!

This doesn't sound much, but I haven't been able to face even starting until today, so thank you very much everyone! I tackled it in 15 minute spells, putting on the cooker timer to keep me going. (And I bribed myself with a trip downtown if I stuck to it:D )

I'm going to use any further hotspot times to do this until I have it in a fit state to redecorate, when I shall insist on having the fitted wardrobes promised when we moved in. Twenty years ago.:rotfl:

hazzie Well done on finding carpet! I haven't got that far. How about taking the CD's to an oxfam shop? Our local one does a roaring trade in vinyl records and CD's.

DS1 worked in the Oxfam shop this term, and he tells me that it's the students who are the best customers!

I suppose it's more MSE if you sell them yourself!

Made two phone calls. One took FOREVER - lucky it was a freephone number. I think I was speaking to Mr Dim from Dimtown, and he talked really LOUDLY so I had to hold the phone away from my ear.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I think I spoke to him after you! Had such a frustrating day, knocked off early and came home. Wasn't looking forward to going back to w*** but it's given me the boost I needed to get going again.
