Flylady Challenge - Take 3

hex2

It has taken a few hours tonight but I am back on top of things. :j I was suprised at just how much it upset me to see the slow slide back into chaos even if it was just for a few days.

Linzpower - the flylady stuff makes selling the house a lot easier - at least for me. I can usually accept a viewing at half hours notice and be confident that I just need to tidy a bit of toddler mess. Been quietly horrified at the state of some of the houses we have had a look at though.

Congrats to Michelle - brilliant news. ROFL when I read that she had washed her pyjamas first.

WOOHOO - it's a boy . . . :j

***************************************
That's what things are looking like at the moment. Thanks for the support Punky and FlyBoy. It just annoys me so much when I go so well, and then spend a week blowing it completely! I don't work on Fridays, so tomorrow I will hopefully catch up a bit more. Having a family BBQ at our place on Sunday so Saturday will see me running around like mad, so the basics need to be done first.

Goodnight DeniseNZ you're doing really well at the mo. Funny how we have good weeks and bad.

Goodmorning to all you FLYbabes & FLYboy and new FLYbaby!

Fantastic news about Michelle and her new FLYbaby boy! CONGRATULATIONS :j :T :j I take particular joy in her news as I lost a baby at 16 weeks earlier this year and it would have been due around this time. It's good to know life goes on. Hope to see you back on here soon Michelle. I know someone else on the OS board FLYS with a small baby and says it helps her to keep control.

Welcome Pinkparrot & Cashsaver.

Pinkparrot - I think Lynzpower has given you some great tips. Like Lynz I recommend you start with the babysteps and build a morning and evening routine which could include swish and swipe, empty dishwasher, one laundry load in the morning, etc and perhaps dinner, iron one laundry load, prepare for tomorrow, etc in the evening. Also try the once a week blessing hour on your week day at home and that should leave you time with your family at weekend. Once your rountines are habit and established you can start to build in more things like focussing on a zone/room each week.

Claire/cashsaver - you already seem to be off to a flying start! I should be taking tips from you! When I'm demotivated I post on here and FLYboy/TNG and the others normally pick me up and get me going again. I find 15 min bursts in each room or on each task (great tip from PEN PEN)are normally enough to make a difference and keep me motivated. We all slip occasionally, the key is babysteps to get you back on track.

Lynzpower - what's your plan for today? Is the estate agent coming today or tomorrow. You went some yesterday - well done. And PEN PEN's off for two weeks so I'm expecting great from you to keep me motivated over half term.

Daily:
[STRIKE]Make Beds[/STRIKE]
Swish & Swipe ensuite, bathroom & toilet
WM load/run/empty (washing mountain now a very small hill)
Iron dry wash (starting to turn into an ironing mountain! :eek: )
DW load/run/empty Done by DH - he has his uses!
15 mins paperwork in office (hotspot)
15 mins emails
Deal with Post
Dinner - spinach and pasta
Prepare for tomorrow

Today:
IRONING
Shopping
Start to pack for Center Parcs weekend

Mega list:
Tidy loft - will have to do next week as friend coming to borrow baby stuff:eek:
Organise office - had to do yesterday as OH was home. Have taken all carp from office and put into spare room RESULT = tidy hotspot :rotfl: Yes I know I now need to sort out all the rubbish in the spare room It's neverending...

Punky xx
