Flylady Challenge - Take 3

lynzpower

morning

Im having a day off flying today as I a) have a meeting b) have some bank charges stuff to attend to, so Ill be offline most of the day

OH is coming home early from work today so we can crack on with DER DER DUUUUUR some more damn decorating. No more shiny sink for me!

Might do a bit of personal flying, I need an eyebrow wax and my feet look like ive been living in the trenches, i suspect from wearing flipflops too much I dunno, but somethings gotta give!

Has anyone else tried to keep the house clean when decorating? GOd, its an absolute NIGHTMARE :eek:

happy flying to all and Penny, cor you are doing so much too! Well done to all!! :T

Welcome Gilly :hello: and good luck with your tasks.

Not flying today feeling fragile (self inflicted so no sympathy deserved).

Plan to lie on sofa with another cup of tea but may label some more of the kids clothes whilst at it.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!! :T :T :T :T :T

Well done to those of you that have cleared the ironing mountain like foreverskint. I cleared mine last week and have managed to keep on top of it with a laundry load a day (two if doing bedding) and ironing it as soon as it comes out the dryer. We're on holiday for a week from Sunday so I'm a bit worried about the a washing mountain upon our return. The good thing is that by FLYing with you guys the rest of the house is in pretty good shape so hopefully I can clear it quickly!

Got loads to do including pack for holiday (love holiday hate packing!) so need to get off here quick!

Hi all
This weekend I really am going to blitz the lot! Been away 2 nights this week - had to leave in a hurry on Wednesday so the place is just as I left it when I rushed out the door. Not sure where to start though - any ideas on the logical way to clean a whole house and remain sane? Nobody else around -- just me.

I think I need some encouragement:o

Hi, Vicky! :wave: I too have 2 days of peace! Couple of tip on how to start:

1. a place that will be noticed - in my case the porch and kitchen. They'll be spotless when children are back tomorrow, but not for long

2. a place that you feel good in - in my case I'm goingto have my bedroom with clean sheets, candles, completely dust free.

3. an easy place - in my case the bathroom got a full clean last week, so today just a qick swish, swipe, and fold of towels.

Almost forgot, I'll then have some indulgence time for me - a reddish rinse for my hair, luxuriate in the bath with glass of red and my book, singing tonight, and my knitting.

HTH, Penny. x
