    I'm not going to start a new room today as I've decided to finish all the jobs that didnt quite get done.

    These are

    1. DVD's and Videos in the living room
    2. Large pile of clothes on the chair sorted into keeps and charity shop.
    3. Box up and put away small car seat
    4. I also need to clean the window in DD room as DH pointed out I forgot to do it.

    I'm also going to do my house blessing.

    Hope everybody else is feeling as good as I am being in control

    Seen this referred to a couple of times and even though I've looked through the thread I don't know what it means!!:o :o

    Got to get off now, but if someone could enlighten me for when I pop back later I'd be very grateful!!:D Bye for now.

    Morning!
    I have to admit to slipping the last few days:o just havent had time to do any extras!
    Must do better!;)

    Still aiming to do the hall and stairs sometime today. Have done a quick flit through so far, 2 loads of washing and 2 days worth of ironing and am just having a coffee break!

    Good luck all you fellow flyladies!:D

    See 'Monday' in this link http://www.flylady.net/pages/FLYingLessons_Routines.asp#basic

    Spend no more than 15 minutes on each task - it's not about doing the task perfectly, but about a quick 'straighten up'. Do use your timer if you've got one because believe me it is very tempting to do one job thoroughly and then nothing else gets done! :p

    Basically for me it means getting the house ready for the weekend. A quick wiss round with the duster, straighten up and a run the hoover over the public rooms. Doesnt take more than an hour maximum.

    Well today I've bathed (including washing my hair by 8.30am :eek: ), load of washing from last night out (cleaning cloths), another load in and now on hangers, blessed upstairs and to the bottom of the stairs with the "help" of DD so it's taken me the usual hour that it takes to do a proper clean :rolleyes: Going to send her for a nap after lunch ready for her going to stay at Johannes tonight :shhh: I know DD's going to be bouncing for her tonight so better make her just bouncing and not tired/bouncing :D Then I'll get on with the livingroom. Might even "wash" the rug, remembering to rinse it this time. It's supposed to be a beige colour but its more dirty camel :o

    Ironing still to do, and I need to write out my shopping list for tomorrow, plus lots of shredding :rolleyes: Need to get tea sorted as OH and I are going the theatre tonight :j:D Right, need to go and phone Johanne to see what time I can [strike]dump[/strike] drop DD off :p;):rotfl:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Today i have done two loads of washig, made the bed and cleaned up after my boyfriend, who has managed to make mess and clutter in my decluttered rooms. Cant do much else as I am working from 7 pm till 2.30 am tonight so will be doing lots tomorrow. Got bf doing the mountain of dishies tonight while I am at work and the ironing tomorrow so that will help as I hate doing these. Yay!

  • Thanks to you all for your inspiration!
    I've well and truly fallen off the bandwagon. My sink is still shiny, but everywhere else is a cluttered mess. Where can I get the energy from??

    I'm going to do a combination of finishing flylady and organising your week starting tomorrow.

    I said Mon was my kitchen & dining room day, told DH who is working from home tomorrow and will be using this area cos PC is in here, so he offered to help me sort the room out so he can be left in peace.:D . Anyway he washed all the pots:T , even though he left several sides to be wiped down:rolleyes: and didn't attempt to clean the george foreman. When I complained he said but I iron instead :confused: :rolleyes:

    Might have managed all downstairs by tomorrow, which would leave me Tues for bathroom and DS bedroom and then the bedrooms which haven't been finished (or even started yet:o ) when DD is at nursery at end of week.
