No flying done today, and not much work. Babysitting was MUCH more fun

Evening all

Been out to Cafe Rogue for a family dinner to celebrate 3 birthdays. All the food was on Tesco clubcard vouchers so just the drinks in cash so a good deal all round.

Loving being able to dry washing on the line even if it needs finishing in doors.

Going to set the DW and WM and then head off to bed

? Do you find that some toilet rolls make a lot of dust? Anyone found one which doesn't? We usually have nouvelle recycled stuff but the dust, tiny paper fibres I think, is awful.

My house is a bin.. I have been very very bad.. I have bought myself banned substances in order to kick start me into cleaning the hovel next week with the help of the children.. I will probably not sleep for 3-4 days so it should get sorted.. I MUST get the landing and the downstairs habitable.. and I want to throw some paint about in the bathroom and I am currently too lethargic to move.... so... fizzy pop it is!

I need a trip to the quack.. far TMI but I have a sore bit down below which I think is a vein of some sort.. but it needs dealing with I am finding it difficult to wear pants.. and you KNOW what happens when there are no pants! lol I am due a smear as well apparently.. I don't think I am really but I'll go sort both at once..

Kitchen is almost habitable.. I am loading up the car tomorrow and depositting a boot load at DD1's.. that will clear a chunk of landing and front room.. I have had everything dumped in there for 5 weeks!

Anyhoo.. back to my knitting .. I have 40 balls of wool to knit up before my 10% voucher expires at the end of March so I need to buy more wool/patterns then.. so this lot has to be cleared!

Valli

well

cabinet sold on ebay
smear booked
anti freeze bought
repeat presciption requested

anti freeze is for car;) Valli is not frigid :rotfl:

pigpen

Dusty.. maybe you should change your id to dusty-loo roll lol... if your bathroom is clean enough to notice the dust from the bog roll that would be the least of my worries.. you could try toilet wipes?

Welcome to the weekly Flylady thread. If you need help organising your week or getting motivated when it comes to housework then come and join us.

There are 3 levels per day with Level 1 being very basic, level 2 in the middle, up to 3 which is more advanced and time consuming. Feel free to mix and match to suit your own personal circumstances.

Every room comes back around next week so please don’t stress about catching up

These lists are only suggestions and not a must do list; you are more than welcome to post and follow your own lists.

Also adding a declutter mission each day will help to gradually clear the clutter and make flying easier.

A few of the basics before we start the week

Hotspots are areas where if one thing gets put there, loads of other things follow!

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc.

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a bin bag and whiz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe/S&S means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

HHE/HHC/HHI Half Hour exercise/challenge/ironing ... run around for 30 minutes to the Benny Hill music frantically cleaning exercising or ironing.. other music may be used if you prefer!
