Flylady Thread for Monday 19th February

scaredy_cat_2

hi all - not much flying for a few days someone has clipped my wings! but have been checking each day - i have been keeping a little on top of dailies so not all bad. I have been putting lots of time into dfw stuff and i just cna't find time to do everything. But some of the sorting out is good for this too - i will check tomorrow as no plans - we are on half term although DH will do school work in morning but after that will get him to take girls out for walk and will blitz downstairs all through - see i can see that as being achievable so is not that bad here!!

pigpen full of admiration for getting all that stuff on ebay - you will inspire me to get mine sorted the money will be lovely thank you :A

haven't read thread for few days so hope everyone is well - littlies better from all their illnesses and will try to get back on track (i do find dealing with debt stuff slightly draining so....)

just curious .... how many of us are using timers? if you do how long do you set it for and what do you do if the timer goes off and you've not finsihed that job - start something else and go back to it later or what.

'fraid that I haven't set the timer today, as I was juggling it with working, so I kinda knew I had about 10 mins at a stretch and would do as much as I could in that time, except for lunchtime when I "allowed" myself 50 mins inc. lunch

Tomorrows list is now up

Just managed to catch up on today's news... isn't everyone working hard!

I was working this morning, and after lunch had to go downtown. I bought 2 expensive cotton jumpers from Principles after Christmas (present!) and the first time I washed them they shrank, and the hems went wavy, so I thought I would ask for advice from the shop - and was told that I should take them straight back for a refund, even though I can't find the receipt, as they are obviously faulty! (I do have a bank statement showing the payment as proof of purchase though).

So, as I now don't have the tops I wanted for my work placement, I bought a blouse, and suit in M&S.

None of which has anything much to do with flying.... so before I get deleted or banned - I did a speedy whip round the kitchen, and a proper clean of the cloakroom and the bathroom - yes, I know it wasn't on the list today, but the sittingroom didn't look too bad, and I don't have time to fly properly again until Friday when the bathroom would be in need of a pressure cleaner...:eek:

Shell - how did you make your rice pudding as I wouldn't mind having a go at that?

How do you advise cleaning the cooker? Mine hasn't been cleaned inside for months! I know I've read that you put your racks in the bath with Bio Washing Powder but what else and what do you suggest using on the inside?

Well, day 1 complete. All the weekends work didnt quite pay off as there was still far to much tidying to be done in the lounge. So i limited myself to 10mins tidying and then got on with the rest of the list. I did feel a bit of an idiot sitting amongst a pile of junk cleaning the skirting boards :rotfl:. Funny how you can quite happily ignore a room full of mess but that mark on the radiator is the thing that you notice though isn't it? Or is that just me?

Right, time to jot down tomorrows list

Oh no not the kitchen!
