    15 minutes floordrobe clearance
    Wash windows
    Vacuum floors
    Level Three
    Dust and deweb
    Wipe paintwork
    Sort through a cupboard.. make it neat and tidy and get rid of what you no longer wear/need/use
    Extras
    1. Sort through a box of junk fom top of drawers
    2. Binbag dance
    3. Collect all the dirty laundry.
    4. HHI
    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. I will not sit down as soon as I get home from work - I will spend minimum 15 minutes flying!

    Extra list:

    Things to do before I go away:
    Take passport in to flight company
    Borrow MIL suitcase
    Change some money over
    Decide what I'm wearing to wedding and make sure it's clean!
    Make sure all camera stuff is together
    Arrange how we are getting to the city to get to the airport - when we are leaving from home etc
    Speak with DN about hire car while we are away


    Other list:
    OH birthday tomorrow - have nothing for him yet :eek:
    Library
    Work - I'm running late :eek: again
    Take DS no. 2 clothes shopping


    Right - off to shower and rush to work. Bye . . .

    AnW'sMum - I'll dig out something yellow for you on Thursday. Funnily enough, I got some bulbs from a greengrocer over Christmas and stuck them in the pot in the porch. Just this weekend, one of them has flowered - it's a tiny yellow narcissus/daff type thing :D

    Dusty - you interested in some recent family history mags I've got which will only go in the recycle bin if you're not?.... let me know and I'll stick them in the post. They're quite interesting for general information.

    Dinner is on the way. Just need to finalise the veg.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • In my HHC I stripped and vacuumed the mattress. I put clean sheets, cases and covers and loaded the WM will press start after LOs bathtime.
    Off to bath, story, sleep the LOs.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.
  • I'M IN...:j :j
    greenbee you are far too industrious - you certainly dont need nagging from me - apart from going to bed at a decent hour - of course you and flower do know that you should not be working on a computer for at least an hour before bedtime dont you? It stimultaes the brain too much - perhaps you should try switching pc off earlier.
    toots xx
    Good point, trouble is I tend to work coz I'm sitting down in the evenings, then get carried away... I will try that tonight though...

    Toots - thanks for the reminder about logging off an hour before bed. My mum keeps telling me that too... but even when I was at my brother's on Friday I STILL didn't get to sleep until 2ish. Mind you, at least I haven't become completely nocturnal like flower :rotfl:
    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Mind you, I definitly get more done then - absolutly NO distractions, no phone, no kids, no hubby, and tea when I want it... :D

    I have now put you on the map (posted on old thread), sorry Greenbee - I thought I had already put you on for some reason - check your location to make sure I've got it right, you are probably in the wrong place, Hampshires a big place...:o

    greenbee/flowerwhat is the flylady map?:confused:

    If you look on the yahoo group (link on first post), there is a map that flower has put together giving rough locations for all of us.

    There is also a database of names, so that we can match yahoo names with MSE names, and it also has some location info so that if anyone is organising meetings they can work out what might work for which flyladies. You can add yourself to it, but as its an open group, don't put too much detail in.

    Thanks for adding me flower :D ... ETA - I've just seen that you've beaten me to the explanation. If you feel like moving me a bit, I'm halfway along the A339... left of Basingstoke... Thanks!

    In my HHC I dusted the 2 drawer units in the bedroom, including taking each drawer out and dusting the frame (plastic drawer units from Homebase), refolding all of my nighties and pjs in one drawer (and putting ones from the airer away), sorting through my paperwork drawer and chucking Christmas paperwork away (people were happy with their pressies) and going through my jewellery/cosmetics/anything else drawer and making it tidier. Also dusted the two bedside cabinets. Doesn't seem a lot, but I got distracted by finding bits of jewellery I didn't know I had. :)
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Does anyone fancy another HHC? I'm on a roll now and feeling motivated to carry on for a bit.

    HHC 7.50-8.20 anyone?

    I forgot to do an AARRRGGHH!!!!!!!!!!.........

    I thought I had decluttered ALL the sweets in the house.. then I found 3 HUGE 3.5KG tubs of sweeties... and a tin of heroes!!!!!!!! and a bag of lollies..

    I feel sick just looking at them.. I WANT SATSUMOS!!!!!!!!!

    I wanted clementines on Saturday, but the ones in the supermarket felt quishy and horrid icon9.gif

    Can you give the tins as presents any time soon? Or donate them as a raffle prize for something? Or just feed them to your children and cope with the resulting sugar high :rotfl: ... actually... 8 children on a sugar high :eek: you'd have to go to the pub till it was over ;)
