    Another question..

    Does polishing (off) a bottle of wine count as flying?:o:rotfl:

    it's called decluttering :D:D:D

    Hello everyone!

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie and all other Flyladies for the Support!

    Please count me in again - even though I'm not up to daily posting, I do try to do regular catch-ups to see how everyone is doing.

    Have a great week

    Can you count me in please? I'm going to give this a go. I need to do something about the state of our house :eek: and as much as I'd love a cleaner our budget doesn't stretch to it. I start every week with the aim of doing something every day but never see it through. Hopefully when I see what everyone else is doing then I'll be shamed into cleaning up our house.

    Hello All. Reporting for lists as promised on last weeks thread.

    DS2 has just disclosed that he made man of the match. This is an extra fiver on the £20 for his 4 goals. We will be bankrupt by the end of the week.

    Bags for charity shop all lined up in the hall from previous decluttering of DS1&2's bedrooms. Taking to the shop tomorrow if I get clean bill of health for car for mot.

    My kids are still on holiday this week. I think there is a disparity on the thread re catholic schools as opposed to county/CofE schools. My SIL always had different holidays to me as my nieces and nephew couldn't got to school in holy week (she's catholic). DS3 has tennis in the morning an DS3 and DD2 have swimming lessons late in the day.

    AF has arrived a few days early.:(

    My list for tomorrow....

    Monday ~ Kitchen/Dining area
    Level One

    Sweep and mop floors
    Declutter and wipe worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Scrub the fronts of units and large appliances
    Wipe and replace the small appliances
    Wipe tables and place clean cloth
    Level Three
    Clean out a cupboard..
    Scrub the sink and shine the taps and tiles
    Clean out the fridge!
    Extras
    1. Wipe over oven and hob
    2. Declutter and wipe window sills
    3. Empty and wash out bins.. recycling, rubbish and compost! (inside bins not wheelies!!!!) Too Horrible for outside bins definiately DH's department
    4. HHI - This is on my daily list. I love ironing! So good for destressing!
  • Goody, goody, kitchen tomorrow - it needs it!

    BTW, dustykitten, if it's any consolation, DD1 broke her elbow when she was 12 - after the first week she was fine with the bear pit they called a secondary school, giving the more aggressive kids a crack across the ribs with the cast when going down the stairs at break. (I didn't approve, obviously, but at least it meant that she wasn't helpless and in pain).

    It only began to hurt again in the last few days before the cast was due to come off, then a couple of days afterwards.

    Hello Everyone, another newcomer here. - Can I join you all please.

    I really need some structure to getting all my stuff done and I just can't get myself organised or focused enought to do it.
    We've all been a bit ill and out of sorts here for so long that chaos is reigning and I justr feel overwhelmed.
    Fortunately I'm up to date with the washing but everything else needs doing!
