    Thank you for the new list!

    Already got one load dried and another in, load 3 is washing! Not so good is that I CBA to iron my trousers for work last night - so the iron is heating up even as I type! Took a bit of a fall yesterday - in a cafe onto a nice hard tiled floor - so wasn't feeling up to it. Still a bit stiff and sore so painkillers before work.

    Might manage level 1 today - will see what I feel like later. I save the lists every week (anorak I know!) and I've been doing FLylady for 10 weeks - the house is looking better for it. I no longer have a dread of anyone visiting - my nephew will be in London for job training in a month or so and suggested poppling over one evening - I'm now looking forward to it!

    Hope everyone has a good day today - of to iron my trousers now!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    Thanks for the lovely welcome :D I have a virus at the moment so although I was going to try a level three jump in at the deep end, I think a level one is more realisitic for me today.

    One load of washing in. DW emptied. Breakfast made and eaten. Will be spending the day working on hotspots and hope that my surfaces get cleared as a result!

    Frosty outside, so yesterday's cleaning cloths are still waiting to go out on the line, as it's too cold to go out there right now. Once I'm dressed I will start up my work laptop and see how much I can get done before it let's me work (quite a lot probably ;)). Dyson is also back together, so might get the hall and sitting room done too, and then the dust levels should be bearable.

    Morning all

    Frosty here so like Greenbee washing is waiting by the back door.

    Kitchen hotspots dealt with so cleaning may commence after my shower. Leaving here at 9:30 to loan my mother a tv - any spare patience vibes send this way!!

  • Monday - kitchen and dining room
    level one

    Clear and wipe work surfaces, only put back what belongs here
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors, Use a cloth to get right into the corners and do any skirings too
    Clean the drawer and filter in the WM
    Wipe table and chairs
    Level three
    Sort out the cupboard you visit the least - do you need all that stuff?
    Wander around downstairs and make a list of all the homeless things which make flying tricky
    15 minutes wiping (inside fridge/doors/small appliances etc)


    I had a really busy weekend culminating in a lot of family coming over yesterday afternoon for finger food and socialising for my DDs birthday. As a result the kitchen is relatively tidy as DH and I tend to tidy as we go and then do a massive tidy up as soon as the last person has left (we do this for each of our children's birthday every year so we have practised a lot!) so it should be easy enough to get todays jobs done, good job as I do believe there a suitcases under my eyes I am so tired :rotfl:

    After I have sorted out WW3 upstairs (they are all tired from yesterday and I had 2 of my nieces stay over as well) I will get cracking :eek:

  • Good morning all

    After falling off the wagon (again!) for the last few weeks, here's hoping for this one .....
