Flylady Challenge

Options
Over the past week after looking after DD and running backwards and forwards to the hopspital my poor house has turned from a little untidy but comfy to a pigpen!!

So I'm going to get Fathers Day out of the way and from Monday morning have set myself a Flylady Challenge. One room a day is going to be blitzed until at the end of the week all should be clean again and not begging for a visit from Kim and Aggie.

Anyone who wants to join in the challenge please jump on board :D

    :j I'll join! I have some appointments during the week, but that simply means I shall have to try harder to remain focused :o

    In proper old fashioned style, are you planning on working back to front and top to bottom order :confused: or just any room at random until complete?

    Ooooh yes please, me too :D

    I've got a new job and the housework has all gone wrong, I didn't realise how much of a routine I had til it was gone :rotfl:

    Tell me which room you're doing on which day and I'll copy you :D

    I've got a box at the ready for [strike]rubbish[/strike] stuff to sell on e-bay, hopefully it'll be full by the end of the week.

    Oh gawd, I need this just like we all need to go to the dentist. Count me in, but please shout at me, I am queen of the pigpens and usually don't even see my own mess. I'll be the one at the back dragging my heels, but nonetheless, count me in.

    I'm starting from the back of the house to the front, which means starting with the bathroom for me. I picked on the bathroom because it's the smallest room and I have to fit in taking my parents shopping on Monday too,

    Tuesday I only have a small trip to make so I will do the kitchen, Wednesday will be dining room and living room. Thursday will be DD's room and Friday will be my bedroom. That should give me a nice weekend to relax.

    I've worked it that to fit my own purpose, you are all welcome to follow or do whichever rooms sort your own days. Just pick a small room that doesn't need that much work for a day when you have other things on the agenda.

    Oh Flubble!!!! That's me demotivated :( *wibble* ... I won't get a weekend off, I've got a porch, hall/stairs/landing, another bedroom and a utility room to fit in!

    E'lass - if you can find your door, do please begin there, but, for H&S reasons, I suggest you proceed with caution *titters* :whistle:

    If we are doing FL ... are we doing the boogie or the declutter (I was quite excited by the boogie, got my music all lined up, but a total declutter might cause a 'domestic' at this stage of the game).

    Seriously though, no matter how often I tidy/clean, I do become demotivated and end up feeling "whats the point" a little too frequently for my liking. This is just the focus I need.

    Thanks moggins :T :T

    Boogie, definitely!! This is not a task making week we are talking about, just removing the rubbish and cleaning to a reasonable standard.

    No need for any wibbles, get your timers going, boogie away and work until you are happy with the room.
