  • Morning all flybabes!:hello:

    Well how much am i loving this?
    So much i am back for more, even my DD4 is tidying away better after herself:T it was so nice to sit down last night with everything done by 7.30pm!!!!Shocked. :shocked:

    SO up and motivated this am, todays list:

    20 mins on cross trainer Done
    Shower,Done
    Breakfast,Done
    2 x littlies washed dressed etc,Done
    Kitchen jobs as per Moggins list,except for floor which can wait till after they go to bed,
    Baby and toddler group
    Choose and buy brothers b-day card and pressie
    Visit said brother
    Daily jobs
    30 mins paperwork

    Need to get as much done before going to see my brother as i can spend hours there and wont get anything done when i get back.

    To all those struggling with this, please persevere, i really struggled for ages and felt overwhelmed all the time about housework, but this system takes the guilt out of it as it cant all be done in one day, keep flying:cool:

    Morning all.

    Good luck for the day. Keep flying. I'm just off to bring all the washing down from my bedroom and shove a load on before I get on with the list of jobs. DD is almost ready for school with nearly an hour to go.

    PenPen - I've never exactly followed Flylady to the letter feeling that it can be a bit too americanised and they use terms and have rooms that we've never even heard of over here and also that they only tackle one room per week, the challenge helps to accomplish things a little faster than that.

    I've just been posting a mission plan for the next day every evening like I did before I had to leave the site for a while but if everyone would feel better following Flylady to the letter then please people let me know.

    I'll hold off posting tomorrows mission until then.

    Moggins, please continue posting it. For those of us who have busy days, it helps to be prompted to do one thing, or to be smug that we've done it already :D:D:D

    Notice that most people have their trees down. Ours went up a few days before Christmas, and will come down on Twelfth Night (OK, Sunday this year, as we're on a day trip to the theatre in London on Saturday).

    Today I'll be swishing around the house and tidying up. Not much cleaning needed, just a quick hoover. Need to do a lot in the kitchen, so will do that in a few 15 min bursts.

    Kaz, are you up yet? :eek: :rotfl:

  • Hello again! Now that I've had a chance for a proper(ish :D ) look through this thread, can I suggest that Moggins continues with her daily list, and I continue posting Flylady's Daily Mission? How will we know when to make a list to buy loo roll, clear out pantyhose, and put a photo of loved ones on our night table, if FL doesn't remind us? :eek: :rotfl:

    Pixysu, well done 13_1_104v.gif

  • So, to start off. This week, Flylady is in the Dining room, porch and entrance area. Today spend 15mins damping down any hotspots which are starting up in this area. So that'll be the ironing for me - longer than 15 mins, though :rolleyes:
