Weekly Flylady Thread 4th June 2012

juliejim

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.

New style this week depending on how much time and motivation you have. The idea is that even if you are really busy you don't need to fall off the wagon!

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!

Morning all

Thanks for the list Jue

Slept dreadfully (inability to brain dump) so have been up sorting out all the party stuff. Wet bunting adorning most rooms to dry so looks very patriotic.

I've washed up and moved the laundry around the kitchen.

Today:

Hoover and mop downstairs - DH
Make cake - Me
S&S toilets and sinks - Me
Take down and dry all the gazebos - Me, DH, DS2, hopefully some of the street
Move some stuff out of the way to the loft - DH
Return stuff to various neighbours - DS3
Sort out the cash for the street party - me

Earache has moved into tonsil so that is it for the day as I know my body is saying 'rest oh dusty one'.

Have a good day flyers.
