Hmmmmmm

Does this picture show the face of innocence? Is that one uncovered pillow in her mouth, another uncovered to her side and the one covered actually in its rightful position?



Off to hunt some more...

Hahaaa!

Found them! One under the kitchen table and the other behind the armchair.

I can now prime my pillows and be armed and dangerous with respect to a good night's sleep.

Sweet dreams everyone

Needs must! I picked the smallest room after the loo! Still took me a LOT longer than I anticipated but all done now.

Well a few hours later, it's been a productive day: two hours gardening done with help of OH = 8 x HHG. Woohoo!

Actually looks like we're getting somewhere now, if you don't look too closely. We got rid of most of the biggest weeds and then sprayed all the weeny ones. If I can get out there a few more HHs this week it won't look too shabby at all.

In fact I was thinking earlier, the whole house is looking 'not too bad'; if I do say so myself, after a manic week of Flying. I wouldn't be too ashamed if my family turned up tomorrow, BUT I have a whole week left before they arrive and nothing much to get stressed about.

Very pleased and thanks for the support and encouragment.

It's been very hot again today, but I don't think it was as hot as they were expecting. We had a lovely afternoon cruising around in air conditioned car, checking out other peoples houses and back yards

Am working full time all this coming week, so may not appear very often again. Lists will be kept simple, and to a minimum. Keeping up with washing will be main priority.

Have a lovely week, everyone.

hello again flyladies!

Thanks for the tips on the zone by zone decluttering, it's really helpful.;)


Another question which I thought would be helpful to ask on here is whether you have one of your fabulous lists for someone trying to do a whole day 'post-builders clean'. The kind that professional companies come in to do (or Kim and Aggie, LOL!) where you realise you need to do more than maintain a well functioning environment, but that actually you've got to start at the top of a room and work downwards systematically?:o

I know the usual flylady lists are designed to take just a little time each day, and not be too overwhelming, and that's great,;) I just wondered if you had a similar list for a day-long clean a thon, which is thorough and systematic!

At this stage of my pregnancy, my hormanes are making me fixate on small areas of dirt, scrubbing away at them before noticing another bit. Because of my patchy approach, I'm then undoing my own hard work!:eek:

Love Weezl x
