    My studying would go so much better if it didn't involve reading articles with numerous links in which I then click on to see what they are/if they're relevant and then I get sidetracked :o Another HHS for me (probably more like 20mins...) :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge... ) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. Do 30 mins on Wii Fit

    Wii fit later after Slimming world weigh in :eek:
    Then I might attempt to declutter the desk but yay so far:T


    Hope everyone is a bit warmer this afternoon - it's not snowing in Plymouth but is bloody cold!

    I filled 4 binbags:eek: Going to clean out the rabbit then will have a bath and relax before i have to go and pick LO up from afterschool club.

  • Good Afternoon All!:xmastree:

    I couldn't keep up with all you flyladies last year, so am wanting to join back in if that's OK. I need some motivation to get things done so aim to keep this up in 09.

    I have a 3.5 year old and a 7 month old to look after, which takes up most of my time. Also get sidetracked with the Internet - i can surf for hours! I'm still on maternity leave from my 3 day a week job, would love to go back - but the cost of child care is extortionate (is that spelt right?!).

    So my list for today:Monday Mayhem..
    Level One

    Clean the sinks, baths, toilets, showers etc
    Declutter the manky bathroom floor
    Level Two
    Wash the window and clear the sill
    Fling out all the empties from the bathroom
    Wipe the mouldy bits away
    Level Three
    Scrub down the tiles.. defrag the pc while you do this!.. or virusscan or spyware scan
    Wash/vacuum the floor
    Wash the shower curtain/screen, curtains/blinds etc
    Extras
    1. Empty and clean out the bin
    2. Polish the mirrors
    3. Declutter the desk.. make it shine!
    4. Delete 50 unwanted emails from your inbox!
    Also need to tackle the mountain of washed & dried laundry pile in spare room - it all seems to end up there as it is the guest room, which frantically gets cleared / cleaned when we have guests! I am going to make this room as part of my weekly routine now.

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. to go to bed at a decent hour. We're saying to be in bed for 10:30 and lights out at 11pm.
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:
