Morning Flybabes! Night Denise!

Well I've almost survived my busiest week ever. Been out 3 nights in a row and I'm so tired and my back is killing me. OH at football with DS so I should really be getting dressed and doing Xmas cards / wrapping. This afternoon we take the Santa Express on the Watercress Line and tomorrow we've got a panto! I'm hoping next week I can get the house straight for Christmas and focus on food for Christmas week.

Penny - our first nativity was wonderful. DS is probably the youngest and was a sheep and was so cute/funny. His sheep head kept slipping down over his head/eyes and he kept biffing it out of the way :rotfl: then he spotted me half way through and shouted 'Mummy!' Love You! During the carols!

Michelle - are there photos of Charlie somewhere?

Everyone seems so so busy so just to say that even if I don't manage to get on here I'm thinking of you all.

best wishes, Punky x

Or just visit the FLYlady website daily and do the tasks. Or subscribe to the amalgamised email and just take the bits you need.

Yes there is a less irritating version. ME!!!! Only joking

Try buying the book, it gives just as much inspiration with less irritation, If I'm feeling a little uninspired it always gives me a kick just to pick it up and read the introduction. It's called Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley.

Or try Anthea Turner's Daily Domestic Workout:

EMPTY DISHWASHER
At start of the day

10 MINUTES IN EACH ROOM
Tidying and gathering laundry

PUT WASHING ON
During cycle iron yesterday's wash

DRY WASHING
Hang it up or put in tumble dryer

CLEAN ONE ROOM A DAY
That includes vacuuming

FOLD, PUT AWAY WASHING
If ironed or doesn't need ironing

that sounds great.. except I'd only do each room once a fortnight lol.. sometimes living back in my teeny tiny itty bitty 2 up-2 down sounds really appealling.. a 7 up-5 down is MUCH harder to keep on top of! lol

OK, jobs for tomorrow:

1. Wash Coloured Load
2. Hang Up Coloured Load
3. Ironing - 10 items
4. Clean Kitchen surfaces and sink
5. Spend 15 mins in spare room tidying
6. Get Washed and Dressed

That will have to do for tomorrow, as I am going out at 9.30am and won't be back until late!

Pig pen my house is nowhere near that size, but if I did one room a day my living room alone would be a wreck by the time I got back round to it!

I do as much as I can when I can at the minute as I have so much to catch up on, but I am noticing the difference, weekly filling 2 wheelie bins (neighbours moved) and having to do tip runs or dash round putting things in other neighbours bins, and then there is the charity shop etc stuff, 3+ large car fulls so far and sorting more now, I am getting there, it's just taking a while. My house must be breathing a sigh of relief at the minute, I can't believe the things I kept.
