LJD1 I used to work for my local council and they have a special service to come and pick up used needles as you need special gloves and disposal boxes/units. Give your council a call.

I've nearly finished painting ds' room - it's only taken about 4 weeks :rolleyes:

I've also done all my dailies and it's nearly time to go off to work. I don't know what else I'll have time to do today as I have to sort out something for MIL & FIL's golden wedding anniversary which dh only asked me about last night and it's this friday :eek: Just as I came in from work at 7:30 last night my BIL rang asking dh if he knew if it was their parents golden anniversary this year. Neither of them knew so I went and looked it up and told them yes it was - then BIL said it's ok it's not till the 11th - I pointed out that was Sunday but that was the least of their worries as the anniversary is the 9th not the 11th which makes it friday.................... so muggins here is trying to sort something out......... any ideas welcome!

See you all later.

Well I seem to have done next to nothing all day.. I spent 2 hours talking out my relationship with my husband to a friend.. no advice given but she listened and says she understands, I wish I did!!!

Washing is all done though.

kitchen still clean and bathroom still clean.

I'll do some catching up tomorrow hopefully.

Do I look like I need a beer????

Punky

Pigpen have one on me :beer:

Done today list and done the following from yesterdays:

Downstairs toilet (if you have one)
[STRIKE]1. Clean sink.
2. Clean around taps and shine them with a dry cloth.
3. Empty bin/anything that is rubbish from room.
4. Dust any shelves, wipe top of toilet cistern, and the flusher (handle/cord) etc.
7. Clean toilet, especially under the seat and around the hinges.
8. Clean toilet floor.
9. Clean door and handles on both sides[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]Hallways/Porches/Entrance ways
1. Clear any clutter from hall
2. Sort shoes/coats/bags/accessories - does all that is in there belong in there, is your hall a safety hazard and can somethins be moved to change that
3. Vacuum hallways, mop/wash if hard floors.[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]If you fancy an extra job, under stair cupboards/other storage areas, what's lurking? Sort any clutter for ebay, freecycle, charity etc make sure you can close the door after sorting through, without standing something against it![/STRIKE]

Isn't strikethrough great - I love crossing off jobs. Will do kitchen while doing tea......

Good luck for today Debbycatz.. Just do what you can today.. it will come around again next week, that is my mantra."it will come around again next week" ."it will come around again next week" ."it will come around again next week"....:D when I get a feeling of failure or panic because I have so many other things to do.

I love it when the sun shines, I seem to be in a beter mood and get lots more done!! I have a whole load of towels hanging outside on the line, WM on with bedding, windows are open to air the house, done the bedroom

Thanks for the encouragement Mumoftwo, it does help to keep me motivated. I've done ok so far - will update my list later. I had to laugh at your mantra tho'
Can you or another flylady tell me what the 'dailies' are ? Is this just a list of daily chores that you make up yourself or is there a flylady list of essential 'dailies' ?
Many thanks :T
