Weekly Flylady Thread 17th January 2011

pigpen

Welcome to the 3rd Flylady thread of 2011... This week will see a LOT of newcomers which happens every year, sadly many of these ladies and gents do not stay long. This influx usually means the thread is very very busy, please do not lose heart if you cannot keep up with everyone else or reading the thread, don't try to reply to everyone and please remember to include something about flying in all your posts, chat is for the weekend when your home is looking beautiful!!! Things will settle again in a couple of weeks so don't worry it will return to normal and we will hopefully have some new fledglings.

Welcome to the weekly Flylady thread. If you need help organising your week when it comes to housework, or just the motivation to do the dreaded housework tasks you have to do, come and join us, hopefully make it a little easier. You never know, you might start to enjoy it!

Following requests to start things steadier for new members who did not realise the tasks list wasn't a must do, just an encouragement. There will now be level 1, 2 and 3. Level 1 being very basic it has been requested that this is just vital tasks for basic cleanliness, level 2 usually has some decluttering and clearing, up to 3 which is more advanced and time consuming. If you want to do level 2 you add the tasks on level 1 with the level 2 tasks, if you want to do level 3 you add the tasks on, easy peasy. Choose a level to aim for but be realistic, if you've got a busy day on or are just starting etc aim for level one, if you get higher then great, if not then not to worry its only suggestions. Every room comes back around next week. Trust me some days I'll only be doing level one myself.

THESE LISTS ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS AND NOT A MUST DO LIST, ALWAYS WELCOME TO POST AND FOLLOW YOUR OWN.

Also adding a declutter mission each day. Another one where it's up to you if you want to do it or if you need to. This follows requests from members who are looking to declutter. Binbag dances, hotspot clearing, cupboard sorts, drawer sorts etc will all be on this list. Any problems with this or any suggestions do please let me know.

A few of the basics before we start the week

Hotspots are any areas which if one thing gets put there, loads of other things follow!

Daily routines/todailies are anything you need to do today and every day stuff like laundry, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

Fling Boogie/binbag dance - stick on some loud music, grab a binbag or carrier bag and whizz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe/S&S means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

HHE/HHC/HHI Half Hour exercise/challenge/ironing ... run around for 30 minutes to the Benny Hill music frantically cleaning, exercising or ironing.. other music may be used if you prefer!

5GC five minutes gardening.. make it lovely for your family and enjoy it!

Other abbreviations you may find useful

WM ~ Washing machine
TD ~ Tumble dryer
SC ~ Slowcooker
BM ~ Breadmaker
DW ~ Dishwasher
SOAADFA ~ Sit on 'bottom' and do 'nothing'
KH/XH/FW ~ Ex-husband and other not so polite versions
DH/DD/DS/DW/DP ~ Dear husband/daughter/son/wife/partner/whatever
OH/SO ~ Other half/significant other
NN ~ nice neighbour
Toxic (friend/mother/sister/whoever) ~ person in your life that seems to exist to make your life miserable
AF ~ Aunt Flo 'time of the month'.. nothing to do with flying but it comes up often.
ETA ~ Editted to add
gibble ~ miscellaneous crap that appears forever homeless
Dot-to-dot ~ this is a AnW'sMum's way of tidying - pick a small area (not a whole room) like a chair/coffee/table/shelf/worktop or wherever- thats your first 'dot' - totally clear it - clean it - and only put back what should be there - deal with what you have removed (not just move it somewhere else) then if you have time move on and do the same to another 'dot' -the idea is just like a dot to dot puzzle, you aim to join up all the dots and have a tidy room. The trick is to keep each dot tidy until you get them all joined up!
RoD ~ Room of Doom, the one room that feels like it is a permanent pit and cannot be used to its potential!

furball

I'm in again. Kitchen not too bad but definately need to mop floors. Dejunked before christmas and don't need to do cooker as i keep up with it. Microwave will get a wipe but not too bad. DD3 not going to school tomorrow as she has been laid on settee most of the day, no doubt she will be running around like a headless chicken again with hallucinations later tonight, despite medicine.

Would you believe that i actually look forward to the flylady daily list. It gets easier each week as i know that its kept up with doing the dailys so doesn't get out of hand. The house now seems managable and i feel so much more relaxed cos i am not running around trying to catch up with everything and finishing nothing. Oh and the joy of going to the drawers and wardrobes and everything being ready, no rushing round for school shirts or pe stuff. Thankyou flyladies,xxx

furball

OOPs nearly messed up there, sorry toots.

ifonlyitwaseasier

can i be added as a lurking apprentice flyer please?

i try to follow and keep tidy but as my DH would tell you i'm clean but nto necessarily tidy!!!

toottifrootti

I am in as per usual - probably just pottering along doing my own thing with a bit of the lists as well.
Thanks to pipgen for keeping us going.

no problem furball - it would have been easy sorted.

OK since I am now organised I will go do some ebay I think - oh better find my list first.

Hi,
I'm in, and thanks to FLC for fred and lists!
Spent the day going backwards and forwards to dump with random rubbish, so quite a pile of junk cleaned out of utility room. DH also got round to moving Christmas decorations and suitcases up to the loft which has cleared upstairs somewhat.
Keeping my head reasonably low because I have my own tax return, plus corporation tax and VAT for the business to complete by the end of the month, so a bit adminish this week I think.

Ishtar

Hi all
I'm in again this week - will keep an eye on the list and probably look at doing level one. Still on the big declutter...another bag for the charity shop filled, a load of shredding done and (once I'd gone through all my 'important' papers) a load out for recycling too. Turns out they weren't that important after all.

Hope everyone is well - sending hugs and spoons to all who need them.
Take care

dannimac

Yes, I'm in again please. I looked at actual Flylady and got a bit lost! Much prefer this - I need to be told what to clean and when! I have no domestic skills whatsoever!

Thanks for the time you take to set this up - this mucky pup certainly appreciates it.
