Hi all. Many thanks to Pigpen & Toots for the thread.

Jojo- Glad u had a great time - sounds fantastic.
Mumto5 - Hugs for DS - I think I'd be round to the restaurant to give them a piece of my mind!

Jude 123- got to agree with LW - i used to do the US site but her system of doing a different room every week and ignoring most of the rest sucks tbh - & the email reminders are inbox clutter - although she doesn't throw fully mules at slackers:rotfl:

Monday..
Level One
Vacuum through downstairs .. or sweep/mop
Dust and deweb all of the downstairs rooms
Level Two
HH doing something necessary... ironing/cleaning/gardenning/studying.. whatever!
Wash downstairs windows.. insides only!
Empty and wash out stinky bins!
Level Three
Make sure smoke alarms are all fully functional
Binbag dance
Catch up on important calls/emails/letters etc
Declutter some old emails
Extras
Gather up stray laundry and change a smelly bed (could be a pet bed )
Wipe and water plants
Run appliances through a clean cycle if youve not done it in a while and clean filters.
Make a start on christmas lists.. cards, presents, people to buy for etc..

hey flyfolks -

Am still pottering away and decluttering the kitchen... with a view to decluttering some baking ingredients, does anyone have an easy recipe for eggless fairy cakes?

Mumto5 sorry to hear about DS1's job. Can anything be salvaged ie did he like what he was doing? Does he want to look for a similar role? Can he get any sort of reference from the place to help in his job search? Where did he hear about the position in the first place, they should be told what has happened. I hope now he has told you he can come to terms with the situation; life is very tough and unfair sometimes.

Managed to get most of my paperwork for tonight's GB meeting done. Going to do HH dusting upstairs to finish the flying for the day and then an hour sweeping leaves with DS3 when he gets home (he's in the dog house so being put to hard labour)

Mumto5 hugs for your DS..might be different for you but the college my children go to still has vacancies and signs saying its not too late to enrol ?

Thanks to all for thread xx

Who pinched my GUAG today..just cant get motivated..have been with OH to get food shopping...almost £90 and there is nothing to make a meal with ...just basics:eek::eek:
Have done WMx3...still about 5 to go...towels just spinning so going to risk sticking them outside when finished.

OH is making tea:T:This proper curry recipe YUMYUM..

Will nag DS2 to empty DW and Ill refill it at least

WM just finished so off to hang out


Love to all xxx

*nods* You simply can't spend a week on one room in MK - the dust we get here has to be dealt with on a regular basis or I'd need to use a shovel rather than a duster! I swear, it's the Dust Bowl of the East Midlands!:rotfl: Also, I don't like the bullying to dress to lace-up shoes.... I don't actually wear shoes at all, lace-up or otherwise, unless I absolutely have to!

Anyways, all that aside, does anyone else care to do a HHSomething at 15:00? This is on today's list:
HH doing something necessary... ironing/cleaning/gardenning/studying.. whatever!
So I'm going to try for a HHYoga, see if I can loosen up my creaking joints a bit; you're all welcome to join me.;)

Hi everyone!

My names Suzanne and i'm a newbie to this thread! Got my first house a year ago and try to keep on top of things but its no use! I'm hoping by following this thread i'll be able to make some progress.

I am only able to do my flying after work at 6pm and I usually only get one or two things done then I lose motivation. I am aiming for level 1 each day but not sure if i'll even make that to be honest, but every little counts right?

How does everyone do this? I'm gonna print of the list in the morning at work, then score off what I get done at night then report back the next day and carry on. I assume normal everyday things like dishes, wm, td and wiping down bunkers aren't included in the list?

Anyways, looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Happy Flying!

:hello: and welcome

Everyone does it differently, but the following days list is posted the night before, so I put the hoover/duster/binbags in the relevent room if poss the night before - that way when I get home from work I can get started while teas on...

Everyone does it differently - you need to find what works for you... but no one fails. Something is better than nothing, so if it doesnt work for you one week, dont give up! Try it another way...

Level one is a great way to go and somedays its all Ill do.


Everyone has their own 'Dailies list' which you can either post, or not. Some do, some dont - again its whatever works best for you. But everyones dailies are different depending on kids/pets/jobs etc etc so thats not posted by pigpen, you need to figure that out on your own.
HTH and any other questions, please ask...someone will help xx

Me neither - barefoot at every available opportunity, much safer with the grip and sensitivity of feet.
