Flylady Challenge - Take 3

Otherwise known as the Back to School Blitz :)

Okay girls post away on your cleaning plans for the day. Post as often as you like (tea breaks only!!) or as little as you like but let us all know how you're getting on.

My plans for today are DD's room which does not have an inch of floor to walk on that is not covered with stuff, so I shall be sorting, folding, putting away, and removing no longer played with toys down into the cellar, then cleaning it to within an inch of its life.

I know it's Monday, I know you've got no energy, but hey I've had 4 hours sleep and if I can do it so can you :D

  • Morning, Moggins!

    I'm in. Today is my only totally free day this week, so I'm doing the most important bits:

    Downstairs loo - clean sink, mop floor
    Kitchen - mop floor
    Upstairs loo - clean loo, clean sink, general dust
    Paperwork - today's pile to sort (football club money to bank, Awards for All grant application, school accounts to update and distribute)
    Hoover hallway
    WM - on, washing to hang out to dry
    Ironing

    Will reward myself with getting out my knitting, and making more muffins!

  • I'm in, but won't get home from work till about 3:30.

    I think i will tackle the hall, stairs and landing as we moved some of the junk that had been stored there while decorating. It hasn't had a good clean in 3 months.

    What i will do is sneak in some planning time at work. I will write a list of what i would like to do this week, and see where i can then get with it. After all, my bump is usually what dictates the pace i currently work at.

    Good luck while i'm at work. You both should get loads done.

    I'm starting in our bedroom, dunno how much I'll get done though, it depends on how long I'm needed at work :rolleyes:

    Count me in, I have to keep on top of it.

    Today I need to clean the inside of the car.
    Vac and wash living room carpet.
    Have already done dw and first load of washing is on.
    Ironing mountain for tonight as I had a few glasses of wine instead last night - seemed like a good idea at the time :rolleyes:

    we also need to go to the bank and to the supermarket.

    Are we allowed to copy directly from the flylady emails that we get?, as I have copied a lot of the missions if I am allowed post them here.

    Old age isn't bad when you consider the alternative.

    I don't think direct copying is allowed FZ but we manage to get along without them anyway.

    I'm definitely baby stepping today... my youngest doesn't start school till thursday and I'm looking after my friends 9 month old while she moves house. I've forgotten what to do with babies so I'm a bit nervous.

    Only rejoined flylady last night so today I aim to shine the sink!
