Weekly Flylady Thread Week 23 April 2007

nell2

Oh dear - it's only day two for me and I haven't done anything yet! Have taken LOs out to visit various friends today so the flying hasn't happened yet. Will see what I can do in the next hour or two!
I'm feeling bad now because everyone else has been doing well.

nell2 No need to feel bad at all, we all have our own lives and things we must do. Many times I do mine on an evening when out all day with other things. Some days I don't get much done at all. Don't worry anything you don't do will come back around next week. It's not a competition or a must do list, just hopefully help people when it comes to organising and housework.

Nell2, don't feel bad and certainly don't use what others have done as your benchmark. Look at it this way, at least if you've been out of the house the jobs in the house haven't got bigger! It's about babysteps, try a ten minute job and see if you fancy upping it to 15 mins. Better still just have a lovely evening and spend ten mins thinking of what you might tackle tomorrow

Great, I've been looking forward to getting stuck in, in the bedroom :rotfl:
No seriously, I've been seriously tempted all week to have a good go and thought to myself, no I'll wait till it comes round!!!

Dailies
S&S bathroom and mop
wipe over surfaces in living room and vacuum
Give kitchen sides a good once over and sweep and mop
vac hallway
iron school uniform
get school bag ready
doing a chick & bacon pasta bake for tea tomorrow so got to defrost chicken
need to pop out to shops quickly as forgot DH's razors when went shopping!!


Should be getting some extra money through this week, if so will get my hair cut - really needs it and get some paint for my bathroom and toilet.
Its minty green at the moment but I want something thats a nice warm colour but not too dark.

Had a major declutter in our bedroom about 3 weeks ago, so prob won't do that part, might use this mission to sort out DD's clothes drawers though, she's grown so much lately, some of the stuff has hardly been worn, so will sort all that out tomorrow, bag the best stuff up for my nieces and give the rest to charity shop!!! Will see what happens tomorrow!!! Hope everyone is having a great evening!!! Have just put a load of whites in with some soda crystals (for the first time) hope it brings them up nice, DD has anihilated her white school shirt and socks at school today, you'd think she'd been crawling through mud all day!!!! Been invited to a stop over BBQ on Friday so want to try at some point getting all our gear ready to take with us instead of leaving it till last minute!!!

Take Care

Feeling quite pleased with myself today. although not got as much done as some.
Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
[STRIKE]Dusting and cobweb removal (if you want to dust round things that is fine) [/STRIKE]
Level 2
[STRIKE]Vacuum floor and sofas plus kitchen floor from yesterday[/STRIKE]Did all of ground floor
[STRIKE]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe enormous job in itself, but essential, especially when I am carrying the baby up and down the stairs - I must do this, even if just moving clutter elsewhere for the moment[/STRIKE] Did some of this, just moving and sorting the ironing pile from the half landing made quite a difference!
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets - not done
Tidy shoes, coats and bags - done a bit
Level 3
[STRIKE]Clean window [/STRIKE]Yay - did this last week!
Wipe light switches and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc only one mirror
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
Declutter mission task
Sort one cupboard even if it's just for 10 minutes will spend at least ten minutes on DD’s toy cupboard - who described a cupboard as their jenga cupboard? That’s what this one is like! not done, but may do this after our meal while watchng tv
I have also
made soup to use up end of veg box - new one coming tomorrow
got steriliser etc sorted - going to start on DS on one bottle a day
visited MIL and Health Vistor clinic
dailies
Not bad. Looking forward to tomorrow - haircut and blowdry, should make me feel more human!
Well done to everyone for all the crossed off lists - wow!

So many crossed out lists!

I did our lounge and hallway whilst DH and DS were out at Woodcraft tonight.
I had 45 mins to get all the tasks done in between taking them and then collecting them again,so not everything got a good going over, but it's presentable. I love it when all the throws are neat and the cushions are plumped up on the sofa and chair.

Lunches made for tomorrow.

DH is off tomorrow so the washing machine is loaded ready for me to switch on in the morning and then DH will be able to hang it on the airer or line depending on the weather.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing evening.

Living room and hall didn't take much doing this evening and the windows can wait another week.
I'm intrigued to see if the soda crystals do their stuff, Emmie, I've got tired white(ish) bath towels that don't seem to get any better. I'll keep an eye out for your verdict before I buy any!
Yes, its official, I CAN spend some money tomorrow. Hurrah! That means, in order of priority, I can go get waxed, get wormer for the moggies and food shop for my visitors at the weekend. That's the pecking order in this house I'm afraid, tee hee.
I may do the spare bed room tomorrow and mine on spare room day. The cats use the spare room and I know my visitors have cat allergy. Maybe I'll get some Piriton and leave it on the pillow in a swanky hotel style for them...
Off to hatch a plan of action for tomorrow but I may pop back.
