Bennifred you sound EXACTLY how I feel but I've done Sweet FA apart from being glued to MSE so you're doing a darn sight better than me :T .........
Can't do Moggins flylady plan yet because my [strike]dumping areas[/strike] hotspots are any surface including floor in every room!! :eek: ............

Oh, thank you for that Mics_chick! Although it's inspiring to read how well everyone is doing, it can make one feel a teensy bit inferior if not on form:rolleyes: . And I know what you mean about the hotspots - I either need more storage or just less STUFF, lol!
Well, I did go on the walk, and must admit I feel a bit better for it - and the cup of tea OH made for me when we got back:p And tomorrow is another day......:D

Bennifred and Mics_chick, thank you both! After all my good intentions today has been a total washout! My sinuses have blocked again and are so painful! I sat soaking in the bath and the steam was just so easing, that I sat there for about 50 minutes, just topping up with hot water every so often!:rotfl: :rotfl: My energy went with the bathwater down the plughole:D So I'm prune-like but very clean, and the house isn't! (on both counts!!) But tomorrow is another day, and the mess isn't going anywhere:o Baby birds do a lot of fluttering before they fly, we're just perfecting the flutter:D
Better luck to you (and me!) tomorrow!

Came on to moan about feeling tired then I read what everyone else had achieved.
Now I'm feeling guilty so had better get back to Flying

Did a quick hoover round, but main achievement is I tackled the cupboard under the stairs

Not a walk-in cupboard but 'kneel down and reach in' one. Was used to store tool box things but getting a bit more of a hassle to use.
So I now have tools in another cupboard that I can get to more easily (and some rubbish dumped)

Think it's about time that I got back into the flylady way - started last year and flew off - Christmas came and Ilost the plot lol... anyways, new year, new start, new me, new home etc, etc, so seems a good place to start!

I did start my control journal so will have to whip that out and get organising!!

I've had a fairly productive day. It's getting a lot easier to work around the baby now he has a bit of a routine, and is old enough to entertain himself for short periods. He was even happy to sit in his bouncy chair and watch for a little bit while i got on.

Achieved today:

• turkey stock strained and made into a veggie and turkey soup (used up all old veg which i would have binned last year :T )
• fridge checked for out of date items
• 2 of 3 bags unpacked from being away
• 2 loads through WM (one hung up, other to do still)
• put yesterdays washing up away
• washed up
• dealt with post, shredded and recycled unwanted stuff, will file rest when i go to bed, done internet tasks
• sent some new year texts to friends
• played with baby
• wiped living room window sill to remove cat prints
• washed mat the cats food goes on
• sorted cat food/bowls/litter tray

hubbie is going to pick up cats from cattery on his way home from work, and pick up bread and milk. When he comes in i will hang up the other washing, cook tea and swap the bedding on our bed.

I feel loads better about the challenge this time as i actually can see where i have been. Might not seem like i've done a lot, but it is so much more than what i did in december.

I like frugal fox's idea of the chart on the fridge for tasks and frequency, so i might try that.

Well done everyone, keep up your good work.

Oh, cripes! That'll larn me - I go away for 3 days, and when I'm back not only is there another FL thread, but it's up to page 9!

House is neat and tidy, though.

Moggins, we got into the habit of giving a brief reminder of today's Flylady Mission, to assist those of us who don't get the e-mails. Would you like to continue with that, or shall I carry on for the time being?

See you all properly tomorrow!
