Todays chores will just about kill you off folks......not sure I am this brave!

Friday Flyday- those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc
Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself!!!!! paint your nails, make an appointment to have your hair done, a lovely soak in the bath.. whatever you feel like!!

Level Two
Vacuum the floor
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!!
Strip beds, turn and vacuum mattresses!! and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!! Wash the curtains!
Level Three
Clean 2 windows
Sort through a toy box/cupboard
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra Task List
  1. Make those all important phone calls... who else (other than me) hasn't been for a smear in 15 years? (this is not me saying this by the way!)
  2. Wipe the radiators, skirtings and window & door frames!
  3. catch up on a big job you've been putting off all week!!
  4. End of week fling!! grab a binbag and fill it with stuff to leave the house.. rubbish or charity shop or to donate to a friend!
The weekend list will be up tomorrow!

the last statement scares me to death! I thought I would get the weekend off.

    Yeah well, if flylady thinks I am tidying my little darlings rooms, she has another think coming.

    I have been into DD2's room.. She stayed at a friends last night so basically I took all empty cups and dishes down stairs moved the bed, everything from under the bed went into the middle of the floor, empty washing basket, empty bin and left a big note on the door saying SORT IT OUT!!!!!!:rotfl:

  • Sammy do you actually sleep? :eek: your list is scary, BUT I am going to join you today and do as much as I can. Yesterday fell flat after all my washing got rained on :(

    and it's raining and grey again this morning... I took extra maternity leave so I could spend summer with DS - summer - ha bloody ha. We have spent more days in than we have out by a long way.
