Weekly Flylady Thread 29th October 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!

Joining in this week, although I've got my own list at the back of my mind. Thank you for keeping the thread going.

CY - thanks for the welcome back on last week's thread.
Goodintentions - sorry to hear about the bunny.
Dusty - well done on finding the book. Going to see if I can manage a few hours in town this week, as there are lots of charity shops. Looking for clothes as well as books.
Valli - I'm off to costco later this week if you want to join me.

Had an unplanned lie-in this morning and then I went back to the work task I started last night. Finally got it done and e-mailed to line manager.

DS2 and I took DS1 to work and stop at Mc D's on the way home - he ate and I just had a latte. Then a quick shop at Jack Fulton's, followed by a long chat with my friend in Germany (was on my list). Everyone's been fed now and I'm trying to decide what to do next. Can't have an early night as I'm on taxi duty at 11pm. DS1 can get to work by bus, but not back.

Going to have a look at my list. I'll see you all tomorrow.
