Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd September 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.

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!

Hi guys :wave:

I'm in again this week :j it was lovely doing the lists last week so I'm up for it again. Work all day Thursday & Friday so did those lists on Saturday.

Also spent a couple of hours doing my ironing over yesterday and today (makes my back hurt so have to do it in 1 hr bursts) all put away now :cool:

I would like to join this week please, i joined a few weeks ago but lost my way lol.

The kitchens a good one for me, i shall do all of the list and i must do the kitchen floor it hasnt been cleaned or hoovered in weeks, and my dogs leave so much hair it looks like i now have a carpet.

Also try to figure out whats making the odd smell under the sink, since my new washing machine was fitted it has smelt of foist (is that a real word?) so i think there must be some kind of leak.

Okay, back to work tomorrow. House still like a pigsty - I suppose there's always half-term!

Beavers tomorrow - my last one as I start running Cubs on a MOnday from next week, nothing on Tuesday but need to pack for the weekend, meeting on Wednesday, Beavers on Thursday and a meeting if I can fit it in- depends on whether I've finished packing or not - away for the weekend Friday after work until Sunday plus at work all day every day - not sure when I'm going to fit flying in - plus my hours have increased so I won't get home until an hour later than before!
