    i scrubbed the kitchen floor on hands and knees!!!!!!
    PiixxySu - I remember that was the only way my mum EVER did it LOL How times have changed :)

    Welcome Shell!

    Friday:
    Laundry - two loads - [STRIKE]wash[/STRIKE] fold put away
    Work (don't normally work on a Friday and this is the second week in a row!)
    Tidy computer room
    Accountant coming at 3pm
    Dinner

    Zone work:
    Will do a boogie (as will kids in their rooms)
    Tidy top of duchess
    Put all clothes away - yet again
    Remove rubble from back yard so machine can come in on Saturday and till soil.

    Off to a great start! Just about to head off to work and taking laundry to MILs to hang on clothesline on the way there.

    I DO NOT feel like working today. Head feels like it's full of cotton wool. Oh well.

    Hope you've all achieved lots today - and hopefully I will too.

    G'Night.

    Just registered on the flylady site myself, need some inspiration to continue the sorting out I have started, got the finances more or less sorted now, it's just the house which is saying ARGH!!! every day. I've started making myself a daily targets book and a chores check list but I think this flylady way just might do the trick.

    I'm a horder, well I was, but I am starting to get there with it, full time Mum and unable to work currently because of medical reasons, most of my housework I have to get done during the day when the children are at school as I have a son with special needs who is sensitive to smells and sounds involved with a lot of cleaning tasks like hoovers, cleaning products, etc.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Thanks for the welcome, trust it to start with the sink when I have a really horrid large dish to clean with extreme burnt on food on it (my fault for burning it I suppose) well off I go, it's time to get that sparkly sink!!

    EDIT THAT BIT IT'S DONE - Inc the messy pan and the paint on the sink after just cleaning all the brushes and rollers from decorating. Found a brillio pad loitering in the cupboard which made it much easier.

    Timer - am I missing something I will need or does that come along later in the emails. http://html_help4u.tripod.com/javatime.html That online timer might help :) can be changed to counting down or up.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've tided up the livingroom while DD was typing up a to-do list for this weekend, which includes Flylady tasks which she can do herself :j Then OH did a big batch of dishes for me. It was just one of those jobs I couldn't bring myself to do :o He's still left some, so unless he does them tomorrow morning I'll see if I can bring myself to do them ;) Otherwise I'm going to spend the day trying to remember what they do/don't sell in Aldi as I'm switching my main shop to there :rotfl:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
