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

Level One
Clear the floor and hoover or mop

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!0 -
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.0 -
Count me in again please guys.....first week on back go normality as such an I soooo need to be here. Thanks Dusty for the list and the hard work you and for the motivation from everyone else

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.
