Morning All!!

Did some flying at the weekend but have left list at home! :rotfl:

Anyway will only be able to update in evenings this week but will be flying all the time- in theory!!

This morning:

S&S'd kitchen worktops
DW
Bleached and cleaned the toilet
Filled up bird feeders
Cleaned cat food area (why can't they eat from the bowl rather than bowl then floor!)

Picked first strawberry from the garden too- and decluttered it!!

Have given up with the backlog of cleaning from last week and will start afresh this week.

Happy Solstice and Good Flying everyone!

How do, y'all. Ah, so another week of FlyChapping; seems to be going pretty well and the thing is, even if I don't manage get every(/any?)thing on the list done, it's concentrating my mind nicely into getting something done. This can't be a bad thing, can it?

Happily I was planning to do a bit of a tidy in the dining-room this evening, and scrub down the cooker-hob before making tea too, so it all kinda fits in nicely - but even if not, I'm finding more getting done in the house of a day. And to be honest, I'm not really noticing that I'm "losing" any spare time over it - which is a good thing.

But there must be something sticking - yesterday I found myself scrubbing out the bath and wash basin; I'd only gone in the bathroom to change the towels.......

Joy of the day to you, boys and girls

afternoon all,

I feel a bit more alive now i've had something to eat. I'm going to do a HHC at 12.30 if anyone wants to join me? Then i need to get Ds2 ready for sports day.

AnW'sMum

I'll join you holly. I've made good progress this morning. So far I have washed the car, had the WM on twice with the 2nd lot on the line now. First lot is folded and partly put away, online banking checked and shuffled. Interspersed with this I have been starting to clear our bedroom, it has become the floordrobe for us all with clean clothing piled up everywhere It is getting a bit tedious sorting this now and clearing the room at the same time so a HHC will keep me motivated for that bit longer.

Afternoon all

Lovely day, one load of washing out on the line and all the curtains pulled to keep the dog cool!

Kitchen/diner done and I've also done the living room and vacuumed up the stairs, cleaned the computer desk and vacuumed the hallway.

Just catching up until it's time to start cooking. Hope everyone's OK.

Don't do an hour!!

Do 15 minutes then stop for a half hour break.. then do another 15 minutes etc...

Most manage because they have been here ages and it is more about maintaining what they have already achieved if that makes sense.. ?

You'll get there.. it took more than an hour to get messy!!

Thank you. I am trying to pace myself I just see so much that needs doing that I try to get it all done at once.

It makes me feel better that it took others a while to get it done.

You would be surprised how much mess my family can make in an hour:eek:

OK, builder has been decluttered, gate is fixed, loaf is in oven, coq au vin has been made for tonight.

Flying?
Um. I've cleaned two loos.....and put all the washing up away.

Lunch, I think: then try again.... And I was *so* determined to do better, as well...

A darn sight less than mine I would guess!!

I have been tidying and flinging for about 10 years and the house is still full of stuff!

I appear to have grown a nest of bees... now wasps just get extermiinated but !!!!!! do you do with bees???

Work surface of doom half decluttered in the kitchen.. I have a binbag of bedding for my sis, a carrier for nursery, filled the recycle box.. that OH had literally JUST emptied.. thankfully the big bin is being emptied tomorrow as it is overflowing. Half a binbag for DS1 and a pile of clothes to put away!

Decluttered a magnum.. NOM!

Just off to put the gammon in the SC for tonight.. and then I'll have laundry to hang out. I need to sort a repair on the old WM though as the door hinge is buckled and it has decided to leak all over the floor!

All the washing from the bathroom and girls room and my room has been shifted downstairs..

AnW'sMum

Mmm not so productive but I did package up the ebay sales which necessitated changing the printer ink!

Also hung some more washing out and dealt with the post.

Lunch now as I am starving.
