Morning All,

I am new to this thread..
The house is a total mess. - Ashamed
So have taken a day off to get organized again. No list prepared yet.
Will decide what I have to do today... and post (Though it is pretty much everything)
Won't have any water for couple of hours - there is some work going nearby
So would start with Dusting and Vacuum

All the best to everybody.

Time to declutter! Right am stuck in waiting for the trampoline to be delivered so will stick a note on the door telling them to use back entrance. This will mean i can really tackle the shed. I WILL throw stuff away rather than move it from shelf to shelf. May even be a couple of bits to Freecycle

[STRIKE]S & S Lounge [/STRIKE]& Bathroom
Make Pizza for tea
Make Jelly for tea


Thats all I can think of for now.

As for the official flylady site I have never bothered with it, just followed Moggins/Lil_me's lead and as they say if it aint broke dont fix it:D They have both help give me time back (and some sanity - well thats questionable:p ). It is great to see those who were struggling a few weeks ago are now on top of things and feeling fab - well done ladies :T :T :T and for those just begining this thread will change your life:A

Right off to clean the loo! Should be jobs finished by 10am, so day in the garden with the littles I think!

Good morning everyone,

So far, ive made my bed, and put some starclens in the oven!!!! So, still a lot to do, but have all day to do it in. Only have one LO here today, but that means she needs a bit more attention, so things will be slow going today.
Im going to make a start on the bathroom and toilet upstairs, and then Lo and i are going to watch a dvd before lunch, and then while LO is eating her lunch, im going to crack on with the kitchen and oven.
Well thats the plan, wish me luck!!!!

I forgot to put the oven shelves in soak last night, so I put them in the bath with washing powder this morning before work. I've also put the 2 bits off the gas hob in there as well as I'm hoping it might clean some of the gunk on them off as well.

WM 1 load out, another one to go
