Weekly Flylady Thread 14th March 2011

Another HHI done, so all pillowcases done - just sheets, duvet covers and the spare sofa cushion covers left. Hopefully it'll all be done by the end of the day. I'm tempted to go for a run instead of a walk... I'll see how I feel a bit later. It'll be a very short one if I do!
Suppose I should go and scrub the downstairs loo :cool:0 -
My HHC sort of stretched out....I have
fed two boys
been out for a quick shop
did more washing
oven is "cleaning"
dealt with downstairs loo
sorted overtired tears twice
put a load more clutter back in its home
been out for a wander en famille - discovered a lovely charity shop and have some nice kiddie craft bits put by for the Easter Hols, and a couple of items for shoeboxes
Quick cuppa then I am supervising bike cleaning :eek:
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

another HHI coming up :cool:
Duvet in WM. Three rugs on line (not sure they're going to actually do much drying at this stage of the day, but it all helps!). Mattress topper frying in TD. Downstairs loo sparkly clean - loo brush soaking in the (clean) toilet bowl with disinfectant. Loo and hall hoovered.
After this I'm going to brave a VERY short run, then do a few more bits and maybe walk up to the bottle bank. It hasn't been a very exciting day, but it seems to have been productive. Hopefully I can have a productive evening, so I can focus on packing when I get back tomorrow afternoon...0 -
