I am so so pleased, I did these tasks over the last few days that were set for tomorrow. I had to sort the towels as they didn't fit in the cupboard, I did the bathroom while DP was busy using the kitchen inc washing tiles down etc, so will give it a once over in the morning before I go and that should be fine and only have the floor in there left to do, so that just leaves the cupboard and the dailies !!! Meaning I can go for my therapy session without feeling guilty and not have to play catch up at lunch time before I go for my computer course! Wohooo!! I must have read moggins mind!One day I might be more organised...........

[STRIKE]washing[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]1 hrs ironing [/STRIKE] and that finished it all off!!! And there won't be much tomorrow cos the washing machine stopped beeping spinning! Still nice local repair man will be out tomorrow am (I think it's only brushes - better had be as machine is only 7 years old) But this afternoon my mum popped in and I asked if she could take the load still in the machine and rinse and spin them for me. So she v kindly agreed and also took the bedding and towels off my hands as well:A
After the ironing I started to get tea ready to go on which was lucky as I had forgotten it was DD1's club this evening so I felt terribly organized feeding both DD's early and then keeping rest warm for me & OH to have later!
and anything else I manage - baked some fairy cakes for DD's lunch boxes (if there are any left tomorrow!)

and also liberated a bit more paper from my desk
top tip for filing -
tip anything non urgent/important into a box and put it under your desk for 3 months. If anything is missing you'll know where to find it and when you sort the box in 3 months time 99% of what's in it will go straight in the bin - not very flylady I know but it does work!:D
Happy flying everyone0 -
Best laid plans eh! Went to slimming world and had maintained. Must try harder next week!! Would love to lose three and a half pounds to take me back to my pre-baby weight from two years ago!
Was going to go to the gym after but forgot that I hadn't had tea, so eating/gym? - no contest!!
Am having one final glass of wine before hitting the healthy eating plan with a vengeance tomorrow. Have yet to shine sink - hoping I manage before I get too tired. Can do tomorrows tasks set by Moggins (Go Moggins!) no problem.......
Good night all, sweet dreams and happy flying tomorrow.Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Thanks for the list Moggins
My airing cupboard consists of a change of bedding for our bed, 1 set of clean towels, a storage box of hangers (for hanging the wet washing from curtain rails as I use plastic hangers in the wardrobes), my painting gear and thats itShould take all of about oooo 15 minutes including "vacuum packing" my painting gear so it's easier to grab, oh and seperate out OH's stuff as well. Not like he uses it much.
As for the bathroom it's clean and just needs hoovering. Only gave it a good clean today as I had to de-mould it as wellI guess I'll play catch-up tomorrow
:rotfl:
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
I didn't quite manage to finish the kitchen.
WM drawer done, sink cleaned, all sides wiped without taking everything off, one table cleaned thoroughly with everything off, BM, food processor and toaster cleaned thoroughly, top of washer cleaned. All downstairs hoovered, and post dealt with.
I can't clean the cupboard fronts as they have horrible cork tiles stuck to them. Didn't get chance to do the other table with the SC, baby steriliser and spice rack on, and i didn't do my one bench. I was too tired and wanted to spend a little time with DH.
I've also washed my hair and had a nice bath.
Teas planned for tomorrow so i will try to do that early, and not get distracted too badly, although i did say i'd go to my mums tomorrow. I won't go till around 12, so i should have chance to do something tomorrow am and in the evening again.
Well done everyone.

Well been out today 8.30am til 7.45 pm! Tuesdays my late night at work and I meet my friend for coffee in the morning before work as it's the only time we can get together!
Was wondering how I would get things:huh: done but managed to get dailies and fridge done before I went out.:j
My list was on table and DH had ticked off some jobs by the time I got home from work!
So tonight I have made some soup and tackled the cupboard crammed with tupperware boxes etc. I've also done some paperwork and that sink is shiny:T
Looking forward to tomorrows tasks as the airing cupboard is a bit of a disaster area!!:eek:
Need to get to bed or I won't be up in time to get dinner into slow cooker before work. Tomorrows my last day at work til next Monday:j
Hope all you feeling under the weather pick up soon and enjoy that flying!!0 -
