Hello, Can I jump in please? I'm trying to get back to the flylady habit. Years ago I bought sink reflections.... I still make my bed every day - but that's the only habit that ever stuck with me
I've had too much "stinking thinking" recently as after being made redundant OH decided he was no longer going to do any cleaning at all as he was fed up of it! Anyway, since I'm still job seeking and he's got some work just now, I feel like I should be doing it rather than being stubborn. As flylady says I deserve a clean fresh loo! So I've signed up to the many flylady emails for some motivation.
So far I have done:
Monday:
Made the bed
10 minute dust of lounge
10 minute hoover through
10 minute tidy of lounge
Went out for the afternoon and evening.
Shined my sink
Swished and swiped bathroom
Dusted or cleaned the bits that annoy me in the bathroom each time I visited it
Tuesday:
Got dressed to my socks
Made the bed
Tidied my underwear drawer and my t-shirt drawer
Dusted my entrance way and hallway (as per flylady website)
Washed all the hall walls down and door frames from grubby hand prints
Washed the small entrance floor
Washed the front door down
Used a borrowed carpet cleaner to clean the hall carpet :eek: the water was gross!
To do today:
Dust and hoover the bedroom
Wipe kitchen worktops down
Swish and swipe
Shine the sinkworking on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Pigpen - love them both - First one would look lovely in my LR and the second would go nicely in my BedR - if you could just pop out [in your condition] and get some for me that would be lovely - I'll pay you of course [when I've car booted all my carp!!] - lol
