Flylady Challenge - Take 3

Well Ive just taken some chicken quarters out of the freezer

Ive got shed loads of chick peas, carrots, frozen peas/corn potatoes, rice couscous, pasta galore.

I might just stump for some sort of "mini roast" - not too much effort and nice & warming on a day like today

Moving? Well we are in that horrible "silent time" where no one seems to be doing anything or if they are they are not telling me. We were aiming to exchange yesterday, alas the deeds had only just been released on tues, so that wasnt going to happen. Buyer getting jittery, I call my sol & give them a kick. I hope we will exchange next week. Hes not having a survey done. so theres no worries on that front.

the trail goes cold as they say but I really dont want to be moving that close to Xmas, albeit we will probably be staying fairly local. In all fairness I think we better start thinking seroiously about doing some viewings over the next couple of weeks. I was thinking once we have exchanged & set a date for completion- we can start looking then. Although I do browse a bit on the int3erweb to see whats going , but they probably wont be there when we are looking to move, so seems a bit pointless

Hi all:hello:

Had a busy couple of days so thought I'd save a bit of time by not coming on here and posting - trouble is it doesn't work cos I was much less inclined to do anything and I missed the fun - so a BIG thank you to everyone as it's obvious that the support does really help me.:T :T :T
Also got to thinking that I wished I'd taken some photos of my house a year ago as it seems so tidy now and I'd feel so smug if I could remind myself how bad it used to be!:D

Well 1 batch of dishes is done and the grill pan from last night is in soaking (forgot to line it with foil until it was too late :rolleyes: ), livingroom is dusted & hoovered, kitchen just needs the sides washing down and the end of the dishes done but I'll have to wait until the floor dries So I'm having a break for 5 minutes, then I'm going to go and tackle the stairs and then the bedrooms, which are already cleared with the stuff balancing on the beds so I can hoover them into an inch of their lives :rotfl: When that's done I'll tackle the front but fortunately I don't need to sweep as it's clear I have, however, found another job I NEED to do...about a month ago I painted the bathroom and the dirty roller and tray and paintbrushes are still sitting in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned :eek::o I'll put it in to soak when I've finished the dishes...looks like I won't be shining my sink today

Not allowing myself to have my coffee (proper ground coffee) until I have emptied the dishwasher and put the washing in the drier in the morning.

Do you put the coffee on first then try and get the jobs done whilst its brewing ~ think this encourage me to be speedy
