Weekly Flylady Thread 7th March 2011

cally_c

Afternoon all,

Not having the best of weeks flying-wise. I’ve had a migraine since Sunday, it hasn’t kept me off work, but I’ve spent my time at home in bed trying to sleep it off. I’ve got very fed up with it & a bit low. But it’s gone now, shame my list looks like an epic though! I’ve deleted what I’ve done:

Monday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallway
Level One
Wash any soft furnishings and plump pillows and fluff throws
Level Two
Vacuum under sofa cushions and wipe away any gungy marks from walls and sofas
Level Three
Tidy Magazine rack


Tuesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing.. Shrove Day!!
Level 1
Declutter the floor
Remove and wash bed linen.
Level 2
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
Wash windows and nets/curtains
Vacuum and turn mattress before replacing with fresh linen
15 minutes floordrobe clearance
Level 3
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed
Sort through a box or bag of stuff you've not looked at in months.. I am certain you don't need most of it


Wednesday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
Level One
Level Two
Wipe units and appliances..
Level Three
Scrub manky marks off walls and tiles
Empty and clean out food cupboards.. make inventory so you know what you don't need to buy!!


Thursday ~ Bathroom and WC
Level One
Declutter and mop floors!
Scrub the bath/shower/basins/toilets/bidets etc.. don't forget the outside of the loo and under the scanky rim.. it gets naaaaaasty under there!!.. oh, and don't forget the top of the cistern!
Level Two
Sling shower curtain/bathmats in the wash and scrub down the slimy tiles!
Wash away and mouldy black bits and furry webs
Polish up the taps so they shine!
Level Three
Wash light pull strings! (Painting with neat bleach works then rinse in a jug of water)
Scrub down the paintwork and radiators.. back and front!
Clear and wipe window sills and frames and make the blinds/curtains nice and clean


Friday ~ those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
Don’t do kids rooms, so I’ll be catching up with everything else tomorrow afternoon instead.
Cheers m’dears!

Can I join in guys as Ive been looking here for a few weeks - the house needs a kick in the right direction
Is it okay if I only do things for now on Thurs and Fri (from May 1st redundant) but will attempt level 1 on M,T,W when I come in from work.
Won't be able to post that often as well but will try

Nothing, it is just a faff.. and his mother and sister fuss like nothing on earth and they are such busybodies.. I just want a quiet peaceful weekend with my small pink .. mind you.. DS1 has Jacob staying this weekend so it won't be that peaceful lol.

Towels in just as the rain started so that was lucky..
Dinner on.. nice easy meatballs and spaghetti.. yum

Wonder if Freja like spaghetti..

Thank you Thank you - 2 days i feel like i acheived something!!! Even baked some chocolate muffins with DS1 as the kitchen was still clean and tidy from yesterday! I need to make a laminated printed list of these jobs and then i will have no excuses to log on periodically throughout the day!

Well, I've pretty much done the whole house this week. But not to level three. I've done downstairs twice. I have meetings here on Monday, so will have to do some sprucing over the weekend too.

I really need to do some washing and missed today's drying wind and get rain for the weekend Also need to work outside over the weekend. I'm hoping I can get dh to do the outside of the upstairs windows at the front. One in particular looks awful. I doubt its been cleaned for years and years efore we moved here. DH says he wonders if its ever been cleaned!
