    I was putting my jewellery away before I went and I cannot for the life of me remember what I did next, except decide not to put the keys where I normally do... (I must remember to give one of each of my spare keys to SIL as she's organised and reliable!). I didn't even think about getting anything out of it until Christmas, which gives you an idea of how often I wear my jewellery...

    I've checked all coat pockets, located the spare pillows (pillowcases/under pillowcases are in the wash. Pillows smell musty but I don't think I'll have time to wash them before the weekend, so I might send them to the laundry with the new duvet afterwards). I've even checked the travelling writing desk I keep my shooting medals in (not something I look at more than once every couple of years!). I will just have to go through each room methodically leaving no stone unturned (or at least, nothing un-dusted!)

    Have you checked above doors on the door frame?

    Sorry to be a bit dense, but is the list of chores on the 1st post the same every week? That is, there isn't a new list for each week?

    Thanks so much for any replies :-)

    Hi
    I am not sure if it is the right time to post my question . And maybe it is a stupid question ....after all it is Flylady thread... but how do you manage to do all these chores!?!?

    I work full time and came home from the office only an hour ago... and unfortunately, I have no energy to pick up things, swish clean & wipe.... etc.

    How are you Flying this, Ladies?

    Hi Tomato,

    The answer is most of us struggle which is why we post on the thread! The idea is try to motivate each other to do a little each day rather than drown at the weekends. It does get easier once you start to get on top of it. Other people do everything in a mad fit at the weekend.
