Weekly Flylady Thread 12th January 2009

Hi all - this is my list so far - have been busy all day but don't seem to have achieved much!! More than I would have tho

Takes me about half an hour to post so will probably just do lists for the first few days till I get the hang of things.

Thanks for the welcome - the reason I came back to the thread again was because I remembered how friendly and supportive everyone is - hopefully I'll stay the course this time - we certainly benefitted from it before.
My trouble is that I'm very easily distracted and spend far too much time on the pc so will have to discipline myself to only check in at certain times:rolleyes:

Monday - living room/hall/stairs
Level One
[strike]Declutter the living room , hallway and stairs[/strike]
[strike]Clear and tidy the mantle[/strike]
Level Two
[strike]Vacuum the cleared floors and up the stairs.. under furniture if you can move it safely![/strike]
Sort through coats and shoes and bag- done a bit of this - finish tomorrow if time
[strike]Sort through the drawer or cupboard that you stuff junk in![/strike]
Level Three
[strike]Check smoke alarms.. change any batteries that need doing[/strike] don't know why that changed colour!
Sort the understair cupboard/mess

Soappie - oppps, I must have read it wrong when I was skimming, have a good day Friday...

G&B - a very well done for the exams - am sure you've done just as well on the other two too - you've worked so hard to do them...

Since going out I have:
collected my prescriptions
given up on shopping because of the traffic (will go tomorrow)
I have found hubby somewhere to stay for the next two weeks and he has a permanent place in two weeks, so we finally won't have to get up at 4.30am every morning...
I have put dinner on (smells wonderfull...)
Loaded the dishwasher
taken DD round my mums to look after the dog
and.... erm.... that's about it... and I did so well this morning...

Oh well, not too bad eh!

I put lots in and ended up with a wall of bubbles advancing through the room. Please wait for someone who can tell you how much!

I actually got some soda crystals today so there is hope for the oven shelves.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Well my floor needs mopping as well, so would this count as getting too jobs done at once or is that just cheating.

My list:

All I have to do now is decide what to cook for my dinner. The kids are getting themselves a chinese so there's only me to do. There's some left over veg from Sunday and Saturday so I might just either make myself a big hearty soup from it all or some sort of bubble and squeak. But then I might not... I shall see.

Depending on what pan you have, wet a sponge and add salt to it then use this to scrub. Do not do this with non stick, I think it would scratch stainless steel a bit but not much.

I use this method to clean cups out too.

Evening all from the sofa where in in my pjs!!

Dinner has been cooked and eaten, washing up done, kitchen floor swept and that's about all i'm doing tonight. Lounge is fine as I only did it Saturday so I'm having the night off! Plan to watch casualty, which I'm doing now, and then do half an hour on the wii fit.

Had a pretty good day today, my first walking group of the year and the walk was lovely, despite me getting wet trialling it in the rain! Had a nightmare journey home though, the dlr train kept stopping outside stations and in the end I missed 2 of my trains home (which are only every 25 mins). So had to hang around at nasty cold station which has nowhere to wait and currently no loo for 25 mins... Oh well, home now - thankfully I left early as came straight from the group so was not actually home later than usual.

SummerMoon

Nice one Zoey, its stainless steel.... will give that a go when I can be bothered to move off the settee!

Anyone got tips on how to make kids shut up and go to sleep, apart from hitting them over the head with a sledge hammer lol!!!
