So when I put Do nighttime routine ^^ it's all that have them all on a printed checklist which means I know what I have done and needs doing, same with my 30 dailies.

Would you mind telling me what they are please? I need to make a list and this would be a great start! :A

I can't think of 30 things!

Doozergirl if you PM me your email address I could just send you the sheet (has ready made tick boxes for each day) then you can edit to suit your home & print it off. I laminate them then use a felt tip so the list is reusable. They are all little things as such but soon add up. Keeps me right! I also have a weekly one, for jobs I do weekly, which have day tick boxes then just tick on the day they are done, can send you that aswell if you want it. It may seem a little excessive to some but before that I was chasing my own tail! To help DP realise how much I did and how little he helped with we used to initial the chart, when he became competative he did more :rotfl: also when he asks what needs doing I just say the list is there, easier than delegating tasks, he can pick what he wants to do.

These are my dailies it could probably be longer if I split each task more

Friday Flying Fiasco

So this week you should have tackled: Living room, bathroom, dining room, kitchen and main bedroom? Yes, right?

Todays mission is (drumroll) childrens rooms (I have left this until Friday as last time I tackled my sons room it took me 3 days and 16 binbags!) Anyone who doesn't have children can finish off any undone jobs in the rooms we have tackled so far. .. That is SO unfair!!!!! I have a 5 bedroomed house!!!!!!!!! 4 are obviously childrens rooms.. so... you see that corner I cleared ???? Well, I am going to sit in it and sulk until you come up with something a LOT less time and effort intensive... *strop*

For those with children try and get those uniforms in the wash tonight and out to dry. (come on, it will only take 5 minutes to load that machine!) ... no I am sulking! Plus I have 2, so in theory that is ten minutes.. but you have to unload so you can reload so there's another 10 minutes.. plus 20 minutes emptying the dryers & folding the dry contents so I can empty the WM's into the dryers and reload the wm's.. that's half a nights sleep!!

Plus Dailies ... Time mean anything??.. when I LAST checked there were still only 24 hours in a day!!!!!!!
1 nasty little hotspot .. such as my ears where the steam is coming out?? lol
Nightime routine - It's the weekend, just swish that kitchen and fluff that living room. point made!?

MY Friday list!

I have 2 binbags for charity shop again today (dh took 2 yesterday) [STRIKE]1 bag for nusery[/STRIKE] and one for a mum at school (school stuff for her chillies which I deemed 'unsuitable' to be worn but she is less picky and desperate).. sorted another bag for charity shop.
[STRIKE]WM
DW
TD
BM
tackle another bit on the landing[/STRIKE].. baby baby steps these are!!

Morning all, well, I am very lucky no children's rooms to worry about. Had a nice suprise when I came home from work yesterday, hubby had cleaned the living room and the bathroom. Not quite sure what got into him. He has also suggested that we tackle the mess in our spare room on Saturday! Who are these aliens that have taken over my husband's body?!!

Well, anyway, back to today's list:

1. Get washed and dressed
2. Do morning routine
3. Go to work
4. Go to gym
5. Cook dinner (not sure what yet tho!)
6. Wash Up
7. Fling Boogie on Top of Bathroom Cabinet
8. Fling Boogie in 'Miscellaneous' Drawer (all just rubbish really anyway!)
9. Clean Kitchen Floor
10. Wash white load
11. Hang up White load
12. Do evening routine

Think that will do for today, well, it is Friday!

Oh forgot:

13. Do meal plan for next week
14. Check bank account and do budget for next month
15. Use old toothbrush to clean bathroom taps (flylady challenge for today)

Pig pen - you had me chuckling with your post. I love a fellow rebel... and I'm sure that there's a big one lurking in Lil_me just dying to get out

I believe that the childrens room is their responsibility (once they are at that age). Ok, occasionally I might go mad in there - but when I mean occasionally I think it's about once a year. A friend of mine used to go into her childrens rooms, open the windows and throw everything left lying around into the garden. They then had until it rained/bin day to rescue everything - on the understanding that everything brought back in had to be 'homed' or it went straight into the dustbin (eg if it was found on the floor that week).

If you need help in organising your darlings I put a link in one of my earlier posts on this thread that takes you to the Flylady 'student' control journal. Doesn't work for all kids, but you may have one in your brood that may take pride in having one.

Right, not much flying here today, I'm off to the garage & Caridff shops - but I did tidy before I went to bed so it looks reasonable. I even did what little ironing I had. Will be a different story tonight mind as I've one load to dry today and another to go through. But I'm in a much better position with it this week than last - so it is continuing to improve

Love to all, and I'll think of you all flying as I sip my coffeed in Starbucks
Lots of love

Ps - can you tell how much I need that coffee by my spelling, lo

**purplemoon**

Just popping in quickly this morning before taking the dogs out to see what today's tasks are and think my day will be a catch-up from yesterday and wednesday lol

Didn't get anything done at all yesterday, too busy dealing with work stuff, so best get that whip cracking today

Will post my to-do list when I get back, happy flying everyone!
