  • DD brought home the charity bags from school, so will get started in the morning! Its called "bags 2 school".....anyone else heard of it? The school gets 20p for every kilo of junk, erm, chartitable donations :D
    Been to Tesco and done the weekly shop

    Oh and did i mention i have the shiniest sink in town?!
    I really cant believe the difference a clean sink makes to the kitchen! We normally have dishes, tea towels, ashtrays, cleaning stuff etc. all over.....today its tidy :T

    DS's school does bags to school twice a year, they normally raise £250 each time from it. It's really sweet, on "bags to school" day you see all the kids lugging their bulging blue bin liners up the hill!!!

    Well done you! I never used to clear up after dinner, always left it until the next morning (or worse). Wait till tomorrow when you come downstairs and it's all clear - it's a fabulous feeling!!! I'm lovin it!
    I like cooking with wine......sometimes I even put it in the food!

    Morning all Flybabes, how are we today? Can I just ask one question, do you all work? Not sure how you find the time to do so much in the week, I often have to save things up for the weekend!

    Anyway, list for today

    1. Get washed and dressed to shoes
    2. Do morning routine
    3. Get OH to post book for me
    4. Sort out magazines to go to Mum's tomorrow
    5. Super fling boogie in Bedroom Closet
    6. Take down dry washing
    7. Ironing
    8. Super fling boogie on bed side cabinet
    9. Bedtime Routine

    I have been trying to keep up with the super fling boogies on fly ladies website, but am a little behind, so will do 2 a day till I catch up. My house has so much !!!!!! in it, can definitely throw lots of it away or take to charity shop.

    Anyway, that is it for today, have a good day everyone.

    Hi flis - it sounds to me as though you are doing well and to wish you luck with your super fling boogies today. I find these quite tiring sometimes as it can be hard to part with some things - good on you for tackling them (I have to costantly remind myself that it's better to bless someone else with them who'll use them than have them cluttering my cupboards!!!)

    Good luck everyone with your flying today - with you in mind :D

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker Mortgage-free Glee!
    Hoping for a nice quiet day today, no dining room, so once dailies are done (bathroom had big clean yesterday) should have time to concentrate on some hot spots, one more drawer in the kitchen, and the childminding corner really does need a good going over, but not sure if i will get that done due to being out all morning - but it will still be there tomorrow!!!!

    No you are not!!!!!!
    Jump in where you are hun - that's the whole point of Flylady. Don't overdo it hun, you're probably still recovering and overdoing it will mean a relapse.
    Remember YOU ARE NOT BEHIND!!! (and that goes for everyone else currently chasing their tail - Moggins, tell them :D)

    I really needed a kick u the bum yesterday, re the lounge. Does anyone else find the attitude, I'm tired, room looking good anyhow, lets not bother!!! Is thsi the curse of flylady, that you get it looking good, think its not too bad and then before you know it its a mess. Well eventually yesterday I thought thats what might happen and got on with flying and its wasnt as bad as I thought and I hope the motivation is back full speed again now. Just how do you cope if you are feeling ill, I'm scared if I miss a day, I'll feel I failed and not carry on.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain
