Flylady Challenge - Take 3

cha97michelle

Flyboy - you seem to be re-energised, hope you have a nice time away.

Punky - really like your idea of 15 minutes per job. Will you then do 15 minutes every day until done?? Although with the amount i have to do, i'd still be there at christmas i think.


Well, time for a quick lunchtime catch up. I'm not doing too badly till now,so here goes.

plan for today:
1) [STRIKE]wash one load of my whites [/STRIKE]on airers
2) tidy up cat prints as i'm going along. better still, see if they will let me dry them with a towel as they come in. otherwise it will be a mammoth job tonight/tomorrow. only one has been out, and he was daft enough to let me dry him - this is one job that is certainly easier to do as the day goes along
3) pack at least one more box in the office
4) shift the small ironing pile
5) bring in the bin and recycling box will do after lunch while the rain has stopped
6) finish 8A scheme of work for school this must get done today
7) [STRIKE]put curry from SC into tupperware boxes and freeze [/STRIKE]done - really pleased as this was two extra portions for 2, and a single portion, and it fit into the freezer i was convinced was full
8) [STRIKE]do last nights washing up [/STRIKE]done - shouldn't be so lazy, but DH was very late from work last night
9) make a stew in the SC for tea
10) [STRIKE]put some empty boxes in garage from living room[/STRIKE] if rain eases - i'm fed up of cats unpacking the bubble wrap from them, as it is now all over the floor again done
11) repack box to put in loft. - must do this today as i've been putting it off all week
12) [STRIKE]wash top of cooker [/STRIKE]- squeezed that in while washing up
13) [STRIKE]wash baby blankets[/STRIKE] - done
14) transmit shop and scan data - will do in a minute when i go to upstairs computer.
15) [STRIKE]sort out studio card delivery[/STRIKE] - all put away nicely
16) [STRIKE]pay credit card bill[/STRIKE] - part of my sort posr as it comes through door effort

Have a successful day everyone.

I need a kick up the bum for the school work - it is so boring, but i don't want it to then take over next week - out the way would be best.

Not so much re-energised. I forced myself. Hopefully now I'm back in the habit. Thanks

Hi all hope the rain has stopped now wherever you are.

Been busy all day with school/shopping etc and now just have 10 minutes before another school run.

Did manage to rescue all of upstairs yesterday which was great.

When I get back I'll do a rescue on the kitchen, swish and swipe and tidy round.

OH out tonight so plan to get on top of the ironing.

I'm going to go and have an hour on the bed. Then when i feel refreshed, the box that needs repacking will be in eyesight and i will have the energy to do it. Curse DH for having a look to see what was in it and making it not shut.

I think the ironing can wait a little bit longer Not a bad day again. Sounds like we are all back to it and being very successful

DH is off work today, so i think we will be trying to do a bit more dismantling of the office. I'm going to take it easy on him today though, as he was at work for over 12 hours again yesterday, and managed to have a minor prang in his car that was new to us in august, so he needs to chill out a bit. Luckily the disagreement was with a bollard and not another car, so the damage will be easier to fix without affecting the insurance.

So, more specifically, the plan is:

1) [STRIKE]wash up last nights pots[/STRIKE]
2) repack box to go in loft - this is todays must do
3) [STRIKE]move computer and accessories downstairs[/STRIKE]
4) put already packed boxes on top of wardrobe in spare room
5) try to shift ironing pile.
6) [STRIKE]swept laminate flooring downstairs[/STRIKE]
7) [STRIKE]2 loads of DHs clothes through WM, and on the line[/STRIKE]
8) [STRIKE]rest of empty boxes put in garage[/STRIKE]
9) [STRIKE]grass in back garden cut[/STRIKE]
10) [STRIKE]filing sorted in old office[/STRIKE][/STRIKE]

I'll leave the list small today, as we are supposed to be going out to a wedding reception this evening, and i need to save some energy.

i must say, DH has done an awful lot of this. What a star.

the weather is beautiful here so far, so may make the most of it and also try to get some clothes on the line.

Vacuum;
Iron;
Print off grocery sheets;

DH is spending the day in front of tv watching car racing, so I'm just going to potter all day.
