Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

rach

Clear worktops and clean worktops thoroughly - done
Sort out Fridge - done, pretty yukky as well, chucked a lot away and washed it all out!
Wipe down fronts of cabinet doors - done, where does dust come from when you're away?!
Clean fronts of appliances - done; washer looks like new!!

Clean floor, whether by hoovering, mopping or a combination of the two. - done, as i'd just done it before going away was nice quick job! i love it when its shiny and clean!!

Shine sink - before bed
Tackle one hotspot - done - did kitchen one, 2 for 1!
30 minutes of paperwork. not managed this one today, but sorted some papers for recycling.

If you have time then whip the hoover through the heavy traffic areas downstairs. - done

also managed to put one bag of xmas prezzies away, do 3 loads of washing, made a pan of soup for tea, ordered Gran's birthday present and been to sainsbury's for essentials.

i'm full of cold and have an awful cough, so i feel tired but better that its all clean, tomorrow need to unpack the clean clothes i brought back from being away and take xmas cards down, as well as the daily tasks.

another thought - i'm not sure i want to be putting bleach down the drain every day as its not good for the environment. i'm sure cleaning it with jif or stardrops will do the same job!

OK I'm still going strong and have done todays list!!!
Even the floor on my hands and knees, I hate those squeezey things, so also use a cloth. Oven is cleaned and hob, and white goods wiped. I'm almost looking forward to the next days challenge.

Well, did quite a lot today - my cleaner didn't turn up for some reason so I did far more than usual including:

took Christmas tree etc down and packed away ready to go in loft
kitchen worktops
utility room inc shiny sink
hoovered through
changed bedding
WM and DW on
paperwork tackled - have enough of this to see me through to 2011 I reckon!

I know it is not as much as many people here but good for me!

Look forward to seeing tomorrow's list.

Exhausted myself today, but glad it's done.

-Shined sink, cleared and cleaned kitchen worktops, sorted and deep-cleaned kitchen cupboards and doors, swept and mopped kitchen floor, copied two recipes from library books, updated microsoft money and worked out budget for remainder of month, took down and put away xmas tree and decs, hoovered downstairs, and listed some books on ReadItSwapIt so I could fit some other stray books back on my shelves.

Phew! I can see the difference everywhere though - it's amazing what three days can do.

Good work, flybabies. :T :T

Well I didn't get the list totally finished, but I have done that mountain of paperwork, inc the instructions etc box :T :j . Will shred them tomorrow for the recycle bin, huge sack full to go!

Now I don't have any reason to have piles of paperwork, but I am sure I will find more around the house which need filing over the next few weeks.

Not done what I wanted to today but got some stuff done:

- about 3/4 loads of washing (lost count )
- stripped ds cotbed & made up when he went to bed
- sorted out clothes into mine/his/kiddies - put ours away when we got to bed / kiddies put away tomorrow
- taken some Xmas toys and stuff dumped on stairs upstairs (but still need to put it away properly :rolleyes:)
- hoovered lounge and hall
- oh started in kitchen but still need to finish off as he tackled sink with a toothbrush to do a thorough job and ran out of time so only wiped some of doors down (bless!)
- weekly meal plan done and shopping ordered from Tesco (that's why I'm up so late to make sure we got it delivered tomorrow )

- watched Snow White with dd to have a break (and hold her hand in scary bits - only 3.5yo Aaarrrh!)

Morning

Couldnt get on last night at all.

Did everything on yesterdays list except wash the kitchen floor and paperwork - I was out most of the day afterall.

This morning as soon as get back from school run will swish bathrooms, hoover main areas and wash kitchen floor. Will then come back on to see what is todays list. Need to spend sometime in my office as well and do a small amount of ironing so think will write myself a time schedule. Oh forgot will need to go out sometime to collect my car which will be a 1hour round trip.

Catch you later
