    Its nice to see more people joining, welcome everyone.
    I hate Mondays!! House always a tip after the weekend, and the kitchen and bathrooms are the worst for me to do in this house as thats 5 rooms in total. Last week it took me about 5 hours, so hoping for under 4 today.
    Mind you at least once monday is over, the rest of the weeks a bit calmer.

    Morning ladies, hello and welcome to everyone that's new :hello:

    Off out for a shopping day with DD#1 today so not sure how much I'll get done, the kitchen still looks good as I tend to wipe things as I go, gonna do underneath the microwave when I get back though and give the cupboard under the sink a good tidy and a scrub. The bathroom wont get cleaned but I'll give it a quick tidy and wipe round the toilet.

    *Need to have a good tidy of my living room, DD#2 came back from her nanas last night and just got everything out lol
    * hoover through
    * WM x 1
    * TD x 1

    Have a good one folks! x

    Shouldnt take too long as have tried to keep on top of it since joining Flylady.
    Bathroom wont take too long either.
    I mainly want to focus on hoovering right through as birds have decided to share their seed with the carpet! (they have a game where they like to throw it out of the cage - bless). :mad:
