    Thanks for todays list moggins - much easier to find! Seeing as I didn't get up till 10 I felt I'd fallen behind already so was nice to find it quickly so I can get organised!

    Today I need to:

    Finish bedroom
    all of moggins list!
    see a man about an allotment
    food shopping - with list and budget in mind

    Have a lovely day all!
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    so I'm with Moggins list today (slightly amended)

    DW
    Kit sides
    5 min a room whizz round

    IRONING
    Make a meal plan of sandwiches and snacks (bring children into this, they will enjoy having some control) - great idea!
    Water change & water tests for fish tank
    30 mins of paperwork. = rest of desk in office
    Tackle one hotspot = see above!

    Sort out one cupboard = the corner cupboard in kitchen

    Do meal plan for following week

    Run hoover round high traffic areas.

    Do washing up before you go to bed tonight, shine that sink and spend 10 minutes tidying living room and plumping cushions before you go to bed.

    Off to start flapping around now!:D
  • I am going to try and start today on the flylady challenge but my father in law is painting our front room so once its dry I can start.

    Morning all, How are you all?

    Well, I have made a decision. I am not going to make such long lists of things to do anymore, as I never get through them all and end up feeling despondent. So, am going to remember baby steps.

    I made my control journal up yesterday and actually did my before bed routine fully last night, it is lovely waking up to a (fairly) tidy living room and a shining sink.

    Also got a friend coming for lunch today who is staying for the afternoon, and Hubby is taking me out to dinner tonight, so not going to do too much.

    So, tasks for today:

    1. [STRIKE]Morning Routine[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Clean Out Rabbit[/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Take out Rubbish[/STRIKE]
    4. Do 10 items of ironing
    5. [STRIKE]Go to greengrocers to get bits for lunch[/STRIKE]
    6. Cook Lunch
    7. 15 mins decluttering spare room
    8. 15 mins paperwork sorting
    9. Before bed routine.

    Forgot to add: [STRIKE]10. need to post 2 items. [/STRIKE]

    That will be enough for today. Good luck everyone.

    Not done too badly, will probably have to leave the rest now as I need to go and make a start on cooking lunch. Got a whole day free tomorrow tho, so can catch up then instead. Have a good day guys.

    Not sure how much from list I will get done today as we're off out tonight but plan to play catch up tomorrow.

    Thanks for all the encouragement and thanks Moggins for daily list- my house has never looked so good!
