Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

kscour

Well I had a productive day today
in short:-
well work wise (joys of being self employed unfortunately) everything on Monday list done - which is really good considering the backlog I'm juggling with from DD1 being ill most of December!
tidying up wise
my list - didn't finish vacumning & dusting hall, office & living room downstairs but everything else done (well apart from ironing! - not my strong point)
have promised DD's day out shopping which looks like it may end up being tomorrow but don't worry I'll be back!!!):D
most of decs down - to be honest as DD's are off school until 9th I don't won't to rush it to much for their sake (personally I'd have them down before New Years:D )

After a lunch break I finally tidied under the tree & hoovered the lounge & put up my feet for half hour.
Quickly hoovered the kitchen (lino, but like most my vacuum can do hard floors and it's a godsend - took me a while to cotton on though!)
Put dogs bedding in to wash and hung basket on line with borax!
Made a lush coconut and prawn curry curtesy of inspiration from todays ready steady cook
Made my bed (freshly laundered bedding - inc the duvet itself)
Bathed the dog.
Collapsed in front of Vicar of Dibley and cried when I realised it was the last. Sad or what?
DS is currently sulking in the kitchen trying to persuade the dog to let him wash his paws - he's been at it nearly half an hour now. Serves him right for letting him dig in the mud after I bathed him. (DS is 16 and should know better )
I think I'll go and help him now - I want to get the BM on so I can crawl into bed, ready to fly tomorrow a.m.
Thanks for posting tomorrows mission Moggins - I think I'll follow that tomorrow.

Go through christmas cards making lists of who sent them. If new contact details or phone numbers are included on these cards then transfer details immediately to address book.
[STRIKE]Hit one hotspot! - Kitchen bench, and I've been hitting it daily!![/STRIKE]


Also:
[STRIKE]Laundry x 2 loads
Weekly Menu
Grocery List

TOMORROW:

Won't be doing anything in entry area as over the next week we will be getting our driveway done. It's getting dug out tomorrow, so there will be DUST everywhere!

Instead:
Laundry x 1 load;
Check addresses on Christmas cards;
Clean up puppy/kitten messes . . . sigh (did I tell you we now have a puppy as well as the two kitties??);
27 fling boogie - didn't do it today;
Buy some pipe to go under driveway for garden watering system before the concrete goes down;
Find a container to put pet 'stuff/info' in;
Post invoices;
Check business finances;
Update household finances.

Think that should keep me out of trouble.

Now off to make some dinner . . . see you all next time

good morning babies :hello: - good night DENISE
quick :coffee: for those who need one

made a rather good start yesterday to ease myself into this flying :T
(after stopping almost completly over xmas due to 2 sick children, my mum was over, and OH didn't feel well either)

but it seems we are all back to normal again and nothing can stop me now

when i went to bed i left the kitchen clean, sink shiny, floors sweeped, playroom all toys off the floor, wiped highchair and table, s/s bathroom, recycling out - cards away (incl. names written down) ... was enough for me :j

daily:
= get dressed = dress kids = w/m = t/d = d/w = lunch = dinner =
today:
meal planner = filing (it's only a little bit and i hope to keep it that way by doing it once a week :think:) = dusting = tidy porch = check coats/scarves/hats = tidy shoes =

i've just amended my whiteboard with daily/todays list - hope that helps me through the day!

i am certain i will find more things to add ...


where are my 'old' flybabies lynz? hex? tng? punky?

Good morning all!
have to go into school today - hope the heating has kicked in! Anyway, no time for flying until much later...but I did set the alarm for somewhat earlier than strictly necessary and my ironing basket is completely empty! Hurrah!

Peem

OK

so for today

Take kids out/ do something with kids

Dining room
Hallway
Landing
30 mins paperwork
Ironing.

This probably could get done in an hour - but, I need to mop the floors and a 4yo and a 2yo seem to think this is their speciality and take hours over it.:rolleyes:

Wish me luck

Well, managed to do everything except my 30 mins of paperwork yesterday (did 10, but that was 'flinging' receipts to help get upto my 27 things!!!!) so fingers crossed will do that today.
My sink is already shiny, dont have a dining room so will do the hall and hopefully the hotspot under my computer (which is also the majority of my paperwork) and maybe one of my kitchen drawers.
Hope everyone gets on well today!!!!
