    Morning All :wave:
    I am in this week, thank you to Dusty for this weeks lists. Hope you are all well, our snow is all gone now, although I suspect we have not had the worst of it.
    I am hoping to concentrate mainly on the ironing this week, have been tidying main areas every day to keep on top of it & kids have been sent to their rooms (they have been mumping & moaning) each night for a wee 5 minute clear up. Even DH now is saying Valli’s “don’t put it down, put it away”
    The plan was too start ironing as soon as I got up yesterday but I had to do a food shop & then everything just went belly up after that! I already have a folder with all finance stuff, agreements etc so here is my list for tonight after paid stuff.

    Welcome any newbie’s & returners

    Skint - Hope you are ok
    GI - Still thinking of you, hope you manage to get things sorted

    Monday Living room
    Level One
    Clear the floor and hoover or mop
    Level Two
    Clean the radiators, behind, inside, defluff them
    Dust any pictures
    Level Three
    Do a 5 minute job that's been on your list for ages – Mark up calendar with birthdays, MOT’s tax etc
    S&S the toilets and sinks
    Get everybody in your house to help you for at least 5 minutes each
    Extras
    HH Exercise

    I'll join you, mineallmine - just finishing the last of my :coffee:

    Can't spare more than 30 minutes for flying today, though my course has been cancelled this afternoon (heavy snow forecast between 1 and 3 pm, and with mostly older people, some of whom travel long distances to the course, we don't want to add to the inevitable traffic chaos or - worse - have someone falling over and getting hurt. I have plenty of preparation work for the other weeks to keep me occupied! :p
  • I'm popping in this week. Working from home today so will get a bit of flying done in between too. The house isn't horrendous because I'd not done badly keeping on top of things last week, but it's gone a bit downhill over the weekend as I spend the weekend in bed with a sickness bug. :( But in true flylady style, I will not panic, just start with Monday's list and gradually over the course of the week normal service will resume! (I hope!!)

    Vanilla - take a look here re. wet mattress - I've googled it before because dd1 wets a fair bit.

    Back in from school run and trip to GP for blood test - on my way back I popped into L**l for milk (begrudge paying £1.50 or whatever it is at our local shop :eek:) and some spuds and then walked the dog in the pouring rain - only did 1.7 miles but better than doing nothing.

    Going to get a cup of coffee but then here's my list:

    In my HHC I have

    - S&S'd kitchen
    - cleaned spillage off hob
    - cleared breakfast table of everything that landed on it yesterday
    - sorted washing
    - started WM load 1 (nearly finished!), with 2 more to go
    - moved 4 heavy crates full of eB@yable stuff from the study to the DR (now aka shop)
    - cleared my study floor
    - watered the pot plants
    - wrote 2 birthdays in my diary: thanks for reminding me macpep) :)
    - sent a FB message wishing another friend Happy birthday today

    My study already looks better than it has done for months, but the RoD accolade now goes to the dining room - I must get down to serious eB@ying this week or take all the stuff to the CS.

    How did you get on, mineallmine and CY?

    Will attempt to fit in another HHC at lunchtime, but will have to concentrate on the written stuff now.

    More :coffee: first! Please help yourselves :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

    Puffed!

    Lounge decluttered. Amazing how many things start building up. Also hoovered.

    Put the bin out.

    Bought an ostrich feather duster to do light fittings etc so will give a whizz around with that maybe later.

    How did everyone else get on? :j
