Egads, I must be mad, but I've had a very lazy day today and amn't working tomorrow, so am considering a little bit of Flylady :eek::eek:
Here is the Flylady list for Day One:
Monday - Bit of everything to kick start the week
level one
HH tidying or decluttering
Hoover and mop the worst bits
Level Two
Meal plan for the week
Collect the laundry and put a wash on/or strip a bed:rotfl:
HHPaperwork/replying to emails/paying bills
Level three
Give sinks and toilets a scrub
Clean WM and/or DW filters:rotfl:
HHI or mending
Certainly won't get it all done, and will definitely NOT be cleaning out the washing machine filter, but it's good to have for inspiration. I do need to mealplan and possibly go to the shops to stock up on fruit/veg anyway, so I'll report tomorrow lunchtime to confirm if I've gotten out of my jammies by that point

I got some travel expenses through from work today so have added £15 to the car fund and the rest has gone to the overdrawn balance (less than a fiver but it all helps). My food budget will need a bit of jigging about today as I have taken coffee from the second purse cupboard but not paid for it yetI might also need to buy another bag of catfood from there which will reduce the balance further.
Naff all done yet in terms of flylady, but I am decluttering a cup of coffee as we speak
