    I'm continuing to atempt to fly, usually one foot still on the floor.

    Having a day off today, spending time with family and friends who are visiting. Back to it tomorrow.

    Just going to read this thread.

    Hi everyone,
    Decs to come down tomorrow - although some were done on Sat along with the cards. Month's shop arrives from Mr T tomorrow and MIL goes home on Thurs am so I will join in earnest then.

    Cards have been sorted for recycling and Beavers though and one load of glass recycling done.

    Update,

    I've shined my sink (only took 10 secs as it was already done and only needed a quick polish).

    Must have flung over 100 items, i lost count after I'd done the 27.

    In lieu of the living room which will wait for the decs to come down I started on the bedroom and have hoovered and tidied and made bed with new bedding. Still needs a bit of work though!

    No paperwork to sort at the moment so emptied all indoor recycling bins into the outdoor one.

    Just about to start sorting the unused decs while watching the match.

    Took dog for 40 minute walk.

    Feel great at having accomplished all that, I usually do nothing on N Y day.

    :T DP took the boys upstairs to watch a DVD so I can get it done :T

    Sink shining- done (will do again after dinner)
    27 fling boogie- done (plus a few more)
    Xmas decs all down now and in storage bag in loft (DP did high ones)
    Tidy, dust and vacuum main living area-done and mopped plus kitchen floor done & mopped too :D will do again just before bed (2 dogs & 2 kids = needs doing often)
    Paperwork - think I need a million 30 minute sessions on that but done
    Cards - done
    Hotspot - done

    Plus cleaned my GF and SC thoroughly, 2 loads of washing, cleared a stack of clutter from the kitchen and cleaned all the cupboard fronts.

    Right all that's done, best let the dogs back in as they are sulking (it was easier) and get their bedroom done (large back hallway)

    This is so much easier when the children are at school! Shall keep trying of course to keep on top of things.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hi folks, I don't know if you remember, but I was struggling with Flylady because my OH works a 10 day shift pattern, so I've planned my schedule around his shift pattern rather than 7 days, and it's really working :)
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    I think I'd like to try this - I did do some washing today, but the rest of the list is for tomorrow as so tired - not due to riotous party, more's the pity, but DS1 up at 4am with nightmares... I also swept up the terrace in the garden, and transferred all the important dates and information from last year's diary into my new shiny bright one! (My favourite job for New Year's Day!) Will try to do double tomorrow!

  • Sink shining- done
    27 fling boogie- done - sorted out jumper draw too - so bit of a fling from there too
    Xmas decs all down now and in in loft - took most of the day to take down, pack up and store but really pleased to have it over with on one day.
    Tidy, dust and vacuum main living area-done finally.
    Cards - done at weekend
    Hotspot - nope - just ran out of energy & enthusiasm - might go and stare at my shiney sink to inspire me after dinner!

    I would love to join in with this but I work two jobs = approx 60 hrs which may not be loads to some people but it means that im shattered on week day evenings. Can I join in and do all my jobs over the weekend which is when i meal plan and batch cook?

    Happy New Year
