    The ones I've enjoyed have been ... clearing your make-up bag

    :D:D:D:D:D




    Only got grocery shop and dinner done yesterday - Tescos was a bit draining.
    Still, Mrs Fly has started flapping her wings of late (she shouldn't be, but I can't stop her), so she did DW,WM and TD last night:T :T

    Today
    Ooh yes - suitcases in loft. After all, we got back from holiday in July:eek: :eek:
    Ironing - DSs and me shirts and trousers. Winged it this morning, but need to get rest of the week done
    Kitchen floor - think Mrs Fly may attempt this, though I might beat her to it when I get in (she doesn't know about Stardrops yet, bless her)

    Just to reiterate what others above have said. thank you everyone. It's a very motivating thread. I'd be neck high in cackalack if it wasn't for this!:o :D

    Can someone take responsibility for distributing zone info and missions (or are missions set by the individual dependnig on haw you've split your zones?:confused: ). my zones are

    zone 1 - lounge & study
    zone 2 - kitchen/diner
    zone 3 - bathroom & toilet 2
    zone 4 - master bedroom
    zone 5 - bedrooms from hell (DS1 and 2)

    D'oh - that means I'm on bathroom duty this week :o:o

    FLC mission for the day is to wipe down the surfaces/benches in your kitchen. One bit at a time, by lifting the stuff, and wiping underneath it, and then putting that back and moving along. - DONT take everything off.

    Ahead of the flylady - I did this yesterday but I take half off and put it on the table, much quicker imo. Also allows it to dry!

    Hi all having my lunch break.

    I have done well, did all my chores in town, put away yesterdays washing, tidied and cleaned living room and wrote packing list whilst having lunch.

    Going to have 10 minutes on the internet then swish and swipe bathrooms and hoover hall/kitchen/family room then start the packing. I have boken it down into tasks like the house stuff and aim to do 15 minutes at a time.

    You are all doing great today:T

  • I've done carp today.

    Went to visit my friend and her new baby, and was there 4 hours having a good natter. Completely lost track of time.

    I did manage to take the 2 bags to the charity shop, and do the small shop, and since coming in i have sorted the post, and paid the bills that arrived today.

    Otherwise, very little done. I still need to do last nights washing up as there is no space on the bench to cook tonight.

    Oh well - i was feeling tired and i definitely deserve to take it a bit easier. Shame things will now have to roll over to tomorrow, but i will do better then, promise!;)

    See you all tomorrow.

  • Hi, all! Just back from w***, so a quick browse on here, then into the kitchen to clear that, start tea, and do some more paperwork. I still battle with that one, but now have some lovely wooden deep trays to act as holding stations.

    Children have brought a lot of letters, etc, from school, which need dealing with asap. DD has brought a form from guides about a holiday. Apparently this is her second one, as I didn't fill in the first she brought. :naughty: I don't think so, not with my new regime!! :D :A

    Flyboy, have you not sorted your make-up bag then? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Was telling you about Freecycling our vinyl record collection, last night. Can't believe the response!

    Michelle, just realised, if you baby's a bit early, it'll share my birthday!

    See you all later.
