Flylady Challenge - Take 4

nicki_2

My house, well at least the kitchen, looks like a bomb has gone off in it :mad: Bedrooms aren't too bad but we hardly spend any time up there except for DD and she tidies up after herself straight away usually.

My plan, in theory, for today is :

• Swish & Swipe bathroom
• Make beds (airing atm)
• Put washing out on maiden/hangers
• School Run
• Batch of dishes - Pans
• Tidy livingroom
• put dry dishes away
• Batch of dishes - crockery & cutlery
• Sort ended ebay items out. - to dispatch or charity or job lot listings.
• put dry dishes away
• Another batch of dishes? Depends on how much is left after the pans
• School run including going to shop for tissues. :mad:
• Evening meal
• LUNCHES
• DD to bed
• Ironing - did 30 minutes last night...still loads to do.

That is in theory....but then life seems to get in the way often.

Guess what . . . I got everything done last week :j :j

It's a miracle!

Had a really busy weekend, too. Set the computer room up as a proper office so I can keep up properly with business stuff. Brought a bookshelf in from storage so I have somewhere to put my folders and things.

We can also get out our back door now! It's accessed through the laundry room, and I had a big three bin laundry basket in the way of the door. We are getting a couple of kittens next weekend, so I had to move the basket so the litter box can go there until they are trained properly.

This week:
Dinner menu - DONE
Groceries - DONE
Keep up daily with business/personal finances
Laundry - keep on top of
Kitchen - keep on top of
Exercise - at least four times this week - ONCE DONE
Get food/toys/kitty litter etc, for new kittens

Bathroom:
Clean window inside and outside
Tidy inside cupboard
Clean shower, bath, vanity, toilet - DS did these tonight
Wash floors.

Extra room:
Three boys bedrooms:
Declutter
Change beds
Tidy wardrobes
Dust
Clean windows inside and outside


Right - off to read what everyone else has been doing . . .

I'm getting there. I've also managed to get another two loads of washing in the machine, the last one is in now on a long wash to try and give the other things a chance to dry! :rolleyes: Just taking two minutes out before I wrap the last ebay parcel and then have a look at what is left. I might group list some of the items (like kids reference books) into one lot and see if they sell, or I might just donate the LOT to the local charity shop. Will have to see what is left when the last 6 or so have ended. :rolleyes:
