Washing machine drawer has been relegated to tomorrows list as I need to get towels washed, and as for the ironing and reading Mrs Dalloway? Well the latter will be tackled, but the former will wait until tomorrow

Spendless

well I've got a tidy kitchen and bathroom :j but that's all, cos despite tidying up elsewhere more than once today, the kids have trashed it again :mad: . DH is away again o/n and the kids have performed once more-getting really fed up:wall:

Because it actually doesn't take as much time as you think

The dailies are just things that need doing every day like washing, washing up/loading dishwasher, making beds, a quick swipe of the bathroom etc.

Nightime routines, making lunches, finding clothes for the next day, a quick tidy of the kitchen and living room before you go to bed.

It sound like a lot to start with but ask anyone who's been following the thread for the last month and they will all tell you that it takes less and less time to do as the weeks go on.

Ahhh, thanks Moggins, when you say it like that it doens't sound so bad:T I have been sort of quarter flying for a while so I'm determined to get my backside in gear and do it properly now on!

Like Moggins said, it really doesn't take as long as you'd think...

It's taken me just over an hour and a half to complete all of Moggins' tasks for today, and then you just add on whatever else needs doing in your house that day...

I'm a full time student and have a part time job and still find time to "Fly"... In fact Flying means I actually have more time to relax and the flat is clean although this is my first week on this thread, I have been following the basic principles from the FlyLady website for a long time

[STRIKE]Continue sorting through filing cabinet
Empty all bins and put out for the bin man
Replace the blown bulbs in the bedroom and lounge (hopefully there's some in the cupboard under the stairs).[/STRIKE]

I am absolutely knackered, but it's all done. The kitchen is all sparkly !! The BF thinks I've gone mad, he left the kitchen pretty quickly when I offered him the broom to sweep the floor. Though he did clean the window behind the sink today for me as it's a pain for me to reach.

Phew, just seen tomorrows list and that shouldn't take me too long, especially as I did the vacuuming yesterday, so I'll be skipping that bit.
