    Right going to start today positive and hope it stays positive! Mr G is on nights tonight so I have him all day apart from when he has a quick nap this afternoon. So hopefully my sanity will hold out!

    Think I should mostly manage level one, then vacuuming and cleaning the sinks, toilets etc. I know there are some days that 3 toilets to clean seems like far too much :rotfl: Extras I need to do as well although I'm not sure about the binbag dance. Anyway shall see how far we can get!

    Actually going to delete the ones I don't think I'll manage to do, keep the ones I will and then hopefully crossing off everything will be a huge bonus!

    Thursday - Bathroom, Loo & Study
    Level One
    Clear all floors of clutter
    Dejunk pc desk!
    Level Two
    Vacuum/mop all floors
    Level three
    Clean the bath/shower/loo's/basins etc
    Wipe the cup rings and dust off the desk (should be easy once I've cleared the desk!)
    Scrub down the tiles
    Extras
    1. Delete 50 unwanted emails Managed to delete 148!
    2. Defrag the pc and run a virus scan/spyware scan
    3. Write and post christmas cards!!
    Daily things:
    WM - emptying it, putting another load on, folding dry clothes and sending them upstairs etc
    DW
    Clear breakfast things
    Keep worktop with kettle on clear
    15 mins tidying lounge and kitchen floor
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    SPC2 #571 - trying to get as much as possible

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Good Luck with your interview Summermoon you'll be fab x

    Hmmmm did I say I was in this week good and proper - I lied! I've done diddly squat.....kept the place ticking over by way of dailies but that's it, I'm so dissapointed with myself but in my defence I've hardly been in the house to do any, life the last few weeks suddenly became hectic :confused: what can I say. I have however done the flylady cards and will be posting them inbetween work jobs today so that's one thing crossed off my massive to-do list.

    It's snowing :( it was raining :j but it's turned to snow :( boo hiss! my car wouldn't start yesterday morning so two hours later I'd found someone to help me (OH who I dragged out of bed) cancelled the customer I was supposed to be at and one new battery later - it worked - phew such a relief, hope it starts today tho.......( I skidded on the ice yesterday too whilst returning from work - freaked me right out! :eek: I was very tentative the rest of the journey. Right, TD dragged in to dining room cause [strike]I can't be assed to find[/strike] couldn't find the extension lead, have to pop the hose through the window so I'll wait till I go out to work so I don't have to suffer the coldness.

    I've opened my advent calendar (the child that I am - but it's a proper one none of this chocolate malarky for me - the kids have them tho) got my bag ready for work, opened curtains/tidied - tho there wasn't much, packed littley off to school and was just pondering whether to get this for DD1 http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=121308 it's not on my list tho so an extra pressie :confused: dunno.....

    Off to work now, see ya's later :hello: x

    Morning

    Flylady Flower, that green icon thing shows up in my laptop fav list as the icon for photobox~# have you been on that site? i think something is up with your cookies.

    Pigpen~ I am glad you have complained to freecycle, my local site, wanted postcode item end off, or offered etc. and it seems to work.
    I have been asked to start up a local freecycle group as they are considering splitting what I class as my local one as it is so big, ( I have told then I will consider it in the new year as I am too busy before then) but having read your post, I am now thinking again.

    I haven't got anywhere far yet though :rotfl: My back is so stiff and the painkillers haven't kicked in yet. This is extremely annoying as I hate not being able to do much!
