Comments

Hi everyone
I'm a newbie trying to hit the ground running with flylady. I'm on maternity leave atm, so am at home with my 2 boys who are 2 1/2 and 8 months. I'm going to try and do what I can with the lists, as I reckon anything is better than nothing :rotfl:
My list for today is
Monday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Declutter and vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs
Wipe sticky marks from sofas.
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything
Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
Mop in living room (laminate)
Level 3
15 minute hotspot clearance!.. and/or filing
15 minutes sort of the junk on the landing!
Check the smoke alarms
Extras
HHE
HHI
:xmastree:
If my experience is anything to go by, being a Flylady makes housework a whole lot more fun!:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

hi littlebit :wave: welcome to the club!
Well i still haven't done upstairs, but i started on the paperwork in the passageway and i have aat least an A4 size spot by the phone. Yes we know its bad but at least its clear enough for a notepad!
So started in the kitchen and now i have three clean work tops, 3 loafs rising, one carrot bread rising and cough for calzones all sorted for tea. So i'm happy but i my knee isn't.
Nearly fell over my crutch about 10 times.
So just having a cuppa then cracking on with more stuff.0 -
