    Got curtains put up in ALL bedrooms and the office today :)
    DS14 vacuumed the house;
    DS15 cleaned the main bathroom and toilet;
    DS17 picked up a bag full of rubbish from around the outside of the house (builders mess grrr);
    DS19 slept in after a late night, but will spend NEXT Sunday painting for us.

    This coming weeks zone on Flylady is the Master Bedroom, so that is what I think I will tackle.

    I have done a couple of things this weekend, but still some to do.

    Here is my list of things to do:
    Put curtains up - DONE!!
    Dust - DONE
    Clean lights/switches - DONE
    Declutter
    Clean windows
    Vacuum

    Ensuite:
    Lights - DONE
    Walls/switches - DH did one wall today.
    Window
    Shower - DONE
    Toilet - DONE
    Vanity inside & outside - OUTSIDE DONE
    Wash floor - DONE

    Wardrobe:
    Tidy shelf;
    Check Christmas box and write down what I have bought so far.

    Because this is a new house, if I can just keep it up, cleaning will be so much easier.

    Also for tomorrow:

    Monday - work, groceries, one load of washing.

    :hello: Morning all, looking like some are flying high today.

    Done all the usual morning bits and now the moment I have been dreading getting on top of my desk, piles around it and family room in general - hoping chimney sweep knocks on the door any minute so I can put it off again - 15 minutes at a time I know - here goes with the first one ads for DS3 junior bed and pushchair.

    Thanks Lynz and ((((hugs))))) to you. Hope things sort themselves out for you.

    It didn't seem like a lot as it was spread over the weekend - maybe I've just had my "Flybulb" moment.....
