Wednesday Master Bedroom and Landing

1. [STRIKE]Strip bed[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]replace linen after [/STRIKE][STRIKE]vacuuming mattress[/STRIKE]
2. [STRIKE]Dust anywhere that needs to be[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]Put any clean laundry away, dirty washing in the basket etc and clear the floor[/STRIKE]
4. [STRIKE]Vacuum (under the bed as well if you can)[/STRIKE]
5. [STRIKE]Clean window [/STRIKE]
6. [STRIKE]Remove anything that shouldn't be where it is, take is out of the room as you leave[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]Extra for today (seeing as it's an easy day really) dampen down one hotspot[/STRIKE]

Hooray, I love this room! At the moment it's really clean and tidy to allow for the baby being here soon (we're hoping for a home birth, so I wanted it all tidy for the midwife!!!).

Well, the sheets are in the wash and it looks like my poor little machine will be on the go all day. Tiny DS woke up with a nosebleed, so his bedding will have to be done a day or so early this week. Poor DS, such a brave little lamb. Will also [STRIKE]wash the curtains [/STRIKE]today as they're all dusty and I've made the mistake of reading about dust mites recently. Yuck.

Extra for today will be [STRIKE]sorting the dreaded wardrobe [/STRIKE]:j - bit scary to tell you the truth. Still, if I start now, I'll be (maybe) done by sundown! :rotfl:

Also, [STRIKE]will wash the skirting boards[/STRIKE]. They look icky.:o

Morning everyone.

Managed to get yesterday's jobs done apart from cleaning the floors.

Left over from earlier in the week is cleaning the lounge window and finishing off the oven.

Spent the whole afternoon and evening out with DS yesterday. We went to the park, then into town to do a couple of bits I needed to get sorted, went to the Titanic exhibition, then met friends for something to eat and saw Scooby Doo show at the theatre.

Woke up with lots of enthusiasm this morning to get flying but have a bit of a jippy tum:eek: so not sure how much I will get sorted today.

Morning all, hope you all had a great easter.
We went away for a couple of days and went to twin lakes in melton mowbray, would recommend it for kids under 11 as it was great.
However house looks awful, dusty, and stuff dumped and still to be unpacked. How do you cope with fly lady when you have been away. I intend to unpack and put everythign away this morning, the washing machine is already on its 2nd load so that side of things will be sorted.
And I see todays list is the master bedroom, which I can cope with, especially as thats where all the cases are LOL, but what do I do about the stuff from monday and tuesday, I know we are not meant to play catch up, but mon and tues is the whole of my downstairs! is it really okay to leave it til next week? Half of me would really like to do it, the other half sayes leave it thats the rules, I'm tempted to go for a quick swish and hoover, but not sure if it would stop at that.
What do you all do?

What do you all do?

I play catch up sometimes depending if I have the time. If you are going to feel better for giving downstairs a quick swish and a hoover then go for it, and if you don't stop there then fair enough, but don't feel like you have to do everything. Maybe give yourself 15 mins do as much as you can in that time and be done with it, it'll be monday again before you know it.
