Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd January 2011

Good morning.
I'm in again this week. Thanks to all at FCC and everyone else for the much needed motivation.
I hope you all had a good New Years. I was MIA most of last week as I had to work so much.
*Rant alert* As I had Christmas off, I had to work all over the New Years and was oncall aswell. Of course loads of people were ill on New Years Day so had a horrible time arranging cover. I ended up working about 30 hours over the weekend and am now absolutely cream crackered!! And to top things off I have got a stinking cold complete with the shivers & shakes. I've had to wear a face mask all over the weekend and it turns out I am allergic to them so I have a lovely rash all over my face! *Rant over!!*
Of the work again now (when my uniform is dry in TD!)
Will see you all later when I make a start on my kitchen.
Love, hugs, sticks, spoons & flu remedy to all those who need/want.

Give the pan cupboard a good scrub out.. fling the plastic tubs with no lids/botttoms/broken
Wipe over window sills and shine the taps Done
Level Three
Sort paperwork, warranties, insurance docs, phone contracts etc into a file so they are easily accessible and make notes of when things need renewing! Did this yesterday. Woo-hoo!
Clean table and add a clean cloth if needed I dyed the last tablecloth pink by accident. It stays naked now!
Dust and deweb Done

Extras

1. Binbag dance Done

Hi I'm a newbie :wave:

Definitely in need of inspiration to stop living in chaos. I've heard lots of good things about Flying from a recovering slovenly friend

I'm aiming for level 1. Usually when I tried to tackle tidying I start all enthusiastic do loads, get bored and give up. So baby steps. Although that being said my kitchen surfaces are covered in paperwork to be sorted / shredded plus a little heap of recycling in corner of floor too. I presume merely moving these to another room counts as cheating?!

Up at 8am - desperately trying to get back into routine as kids back to school/college tomorrow.

DS survived going out NYE and then working NYD. He left the car and walked to work ( he's always sensible like that) and survived the whole day. They had about 5 people who didn't show up and a couple more who arrived at work and threw up and were then sent home.

He's still catching up on sleep (!!!) but he went to the gym last night and then did a massive clear of his bedroom! I was very impressed! I now need to do the same in the other rooms!

Hello again everyone, I'm back in for the new year! Slipped in December as have been poorly and the company OH worked for went into liquidation owing us about three thousand pounds :eek: and with December madness was not up for too much flying. Have kept the house reasonable (although the amount of cobwebs that keep popping up is disturbing!), but will now get back into flying proper! Aiming for level 1 today, as OH is home and I never get much done when he's here! Also have to declutter the bedrooms this week as we might be decorating them next weekend.

So, list-

Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Level One
Sweep and mop the floors
Clear and wipe the worksurfaces
Level Two
Wash the units and appliances.
Give the pan cupboard a good scrub out.. fling the plastic tubs with no lids/botttoms/broken

Level Three

Clean table and add a clean cloth if needed

Welcome Shelley:)

You would probably be best trying ANWsMum's patented "Dot to Dot" Method. Explanantion in Pigpens first post. Otherwise you'll end up moving a round for ever!

Morning! I go to bed and this thread is 5 pages long already!

Hope everyone and their offsprings/OHs are feeling better today. We've just managed to get rid of it, so please no sneezing in my direction. All kids slept all night so I made the most of it by sleeping all the way through too!
