    Lol Juliejim - I remember you saying you were going to send one. Just keep it for this year and I can pretend to be 40 again!

    Did you not get your birthday card then? Because I definitely sent that - it was your Christmas card I didn't!

    You could try joining us on the MSE flylady thread...we do a bit of cleaning each day and motivate each other. Read pigpen's first post on page 1 which will fill you in. The lists are not a must do, just a suggestion and you don't have to keep up with the whole thread if you don't want. It makes a massive difference to my house!

    click here for this weeks..

    Oh no! No list, what am I gonna do. I'll make one up as I have to get on. So since I have a full flying day today I have picked a list from a previous thread and doubled it up as I have family bathroom and the ensuite to do.

    From yesterday:

    Tidy a chest of drawers.. tuck in all those bits hanging out
    straighten up the airing cupboard

    Friday - bathroom, en-suite and loos!
    Level One
    Clear and wipe surfaces
    Scrub the shower x 2, bath, [strike]loo's[/strike], basins etc.. including the stands/pedestals
    Level Two
    declutter and vacuum/mop the floors!
    Wash windows
    chuck out all the empties
    Level Three
    Wash any blinds/curtains in need
    Wipe any chairs
    De-web and de-fluff the rooms

    Extras
    empty and wash out bins and laundry baskets
    [strike]Clean oven and shelves[/strike] Done but now shelves in dishwasher for extra clean and sprayed oven AGAIN!!
    [strike] meal plan for next week[/strike]
    [strike]Measure up picture I need to frame[/strike]
    [strike]shopping list[/strike]
    Grocery shopping
    Buy picture frame
    make TGI Friday Glaze
    Get petrol
    return to wipe out oven again :eek:

    That should keep me occupied most of the day, but will check back later to see if there's anything on today's proper list I really should do. (ETA: that's scary, the list wasn't up when I posted but Pigpen posted bathroom at same time)

    Catch'ya!

  • Thursday - Master Mess-room.. & landing
    Level One
    Level Two
    Wash the window
    Level Three
    Wipe the bed frame of dust and deweb the room
    Extras

    S&S kitchen
    HHI
    This is todays list so far, I also Bisselled the carpet. My poor friend rang me in a to and eight because her radiator had split and there was the most disgusting oiliy water all over her sons bedroom. So being the nice friend that I am:D I took my bissell round to her's - it was a bl##dy mess. Anyway good old bissell did the trick and now she does'nt need to throw her carpet away (which she really would have had to otherwise.):A Flying this week has been minimal as I have the most rotten sinus's at the moment and also DD1 is at home as her school is shut because of snow. (Its a spec needs school and the last time this happened they had pupils stuck in smow all over the place) As she boards she had a great time on Tues morning as there were only the boarders their and they have the most fabulous grounds.
    Hope everyone is ok. Hugs for all who need them.;)
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

    Evening everyone.

    Didnt get up till after six and hadnt really wanted to sleep that long.

    Enjoyed the chilli I made and have done a HHI.

    Another book lover here. I have two large bookcases in the living room. Ive been thinking for a while I need to clear them and clean the shelves. On holiday for 2 weeks after Sunday so that could be a holiday task.

    I have them grouped in genre and have one shelf for unread books. I tend to be more ruthless than I used to be in not keeping ones I wont read again. I also go to the library once a week.

    Need to empty washer and put the washing on the clothes horse. Then Im off to bed. Working tomorrow so wont be able to finish list.

    mOZzy Night time routine.

    Put clothes out for morning.
    Tidy living room and kitchen.

    Hi,

    I have to say have a look at at the Flylady website - Flylady.net i think! It has changed my life!! I've always struggled with keeping tidy but this is really easy to follow and I'm usually tidy(ish) now.

    Good luck x
