I know it's not flylady... but I have to tell someone, as DH is still asleep after last night's wedding..... I've just paid off (decluttered?) the last of our credit card debts, and we now owe nothing on credit cards, and I'm really really chuffed. Had to tell someone! Hope you don't mind x

:T Well done that is great news:j

Plan is to hoover and potter today.

Everybody out at present (football) except me and DS3 who is practising long jump in the living room onto my clean sofa cushions whilst watching the commonwealth games.

Need to take DH to the airport later to plus all boys have homework to finish and I need to finish DS3's costume.

Thanks for the HHC, sockdrawer. I started 15min late (got sidetracked putting detail in my challenge list, so I know what I intend to do about each item first), but in 30min I managed to

strip our bed
divide up Mt Washmore and put first lot in
finish putting clean towels away
sort yesterdays clean washing into iron/non-iron
empty DW and put breakfast things in
clean bottom of fridge (meat had leaked)
put some socks on multi-peg thing ready to go out
wash MW plate and grill stand
start putting fruit/veg away

Next jobs:
update budget after shopping yesterday
bath and get dressed
read with DS2 and get him started on a HW task

2HHCs back to back, I think. See you later.

:T:T:T:T Well Done!!! Huge amount!
I sorted washing, emptied a small box of toys and sorted and poly-pocketed a pile of receipts. (hate doing that one, so fiddly)
Will be back shortly for another HHC if you're not too pooped by your back to back

Good morning Ladies (& gents if we have any around at the mo) :hello:

I havent really done anything constructive yet today. I have had a bath, put on a face mask, decluttered my eyebrows.... :cool:

Have now filled the sink in the kitchen with hot soapy water and filled the washing machine..... should go put it on now really!

Not sure which list to start with today so am off to have a look at both.

Later xx

(and have put Completely Cleared Off in Bright Pink on my Excel spreadsheets- I'm a saddo I know!)Now just the overdraft, student overpayment and another overpayment to tackle, and I can maybe get to saving!
