  • Count me in and for the ironing challenge...and my personal challenge for the week is paperwork & filing. It is breeding for sure....

    The support here is amazing, so to every Flylady - thank you

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Evening

    A big thank you to Dusty for this weeks list and Natty for last week. Although I think I did my usual and 'lost'my actual list halfway through the week :o.

    I am at home tomorrow and New Years Day then back to work so will be out from 730 to 6pm Wed/Thurs/Fri. Perhaps I best start on the meal plan, as need to find some uses for cheese and cold meats!

    WM, TD and DW seem to have been going all day except for when I went out to see about getting my dress altered by DD's friends mum. She teaches textiles and so as her machine was already out she did it in the time it took to drink a cuppa - I was very impressed. She wouldnt take any payment so I sent a nice bottle of red back with her daughter after she had dinner with us to say thank you. Thats one ready for the holiday wardrobe, need to sort a few more now.

    Still need to remake our bed and I dont intend to be late tonight as I want to try and get earlier nights ready for getting up on Wednesday. Its so easy to get out of the habit even with just a couple of weeks off.

    I think thats it for now as I'm shattered despite not doing much so will catch you all tomorrow. x

    Monday Bit of Everything
    Level One
    Have home been found for all the presents? Try to get one thing out of the house for each thing in - new socks, get rid of the religious ones etc
    Level Two
    Declutter floors Not just into a box or binbag to hide away, try to put things where they belong, a home for everything will make life easier
    Sweep/mop/hoover floors you can now see
    Level Three
    Chill something fizzy to toast the New Year
    S&S toilets and sinks (inlcuding the kitchen
    HHI - who has achieved that empty basket?

    Extras
    Clean WM/DW filters and put through on a clean cycle
    Meal plan for the week
    Count some blessings from the year gone by.

    Sort out the bottom of the dirty laundry basket.

    Thanks Dusty I'm in!

    The lists are spot on. I mean how did Dusty know there's 2 presents on the floor next to me? She's a fly lady spy! A fly spy lady :)

    Or the presents upstairs lurking about? :j

    Can't believe it's NYE tomorrow! :)

    Thank you for the new thread Dusty and happy new year to you and yours.

    Valli and Frodders I could not have put it better. Beautiful words.

    What are religious socks?

    And, mrs mp, that's a good enough reason for me to not do any more laundry...

    Happy new year all. I've made a very small start on my new cross stitch. It's huge, and will probably take me all year.

    Blessings to all flyers, new, returning, regulars and lurkers alike.
