I've started on the living room and managed to hoover up (under furniture too, so I'm doing the levels all higgledly-piggledy!) :rolleyes: I deserve extra brownie points as I'm seven months pregnant and have to take it easy between tasks!

I've also done the stairs and wiped around surfaces. I'll start the programme in earnest tomorrow. (Who was it that said procrastination is the thief of time?)

:T :T *Awards 10 brownie points for making a start* :T :T

I notice todays list is the Master Bedroom ... don't panic, you can have a lay down in between tasks

You'll soon get into your own routine, baby steps, baby steps (and that's you not the baby kicking I'm talking about).

*Anything* is always better than nothing, so don't try to take on too much at once, just pace yourself.

Morning all, early start for me as I want to get into work for 8. We've got auditors in at the mo and they're doing my department this morning. Its always disruptive but I need to check that everything's well before they pounce and corner me!

Maralum, another lovely picture! It's funny how you form a mental picture of someone when you hear so much about their lives or talk regularly on the phone and then have to readjust that picture when you meet them or see what they really look like!

Michelle, my ex-OH was just the same. He was building up his own company and working and socialising stupid hours so we could have a good future. We ended up with not a very good present and drifted. Reel him in girl, now is more important than what might be.

Glad it's the bedroom today, I didn't change the bed last week. Oh the shame of it.

Have a useful day flying, studying, working, juggling, chilling, whatever. Don't stress.

Morning all

Well had a good night with DD1 she slept through so am in awe of my little darling:A Although they are both driving me nuts at the moment arguing over Polly Pocket :mad: 5 dollys to choose from both want the same one and the same pair of shoes and the same top. Think they will be going to the naughty box if this carries on:mad:

Did all bedrooms on friday so will do same this week. This will give me chance to catch up as with work of Monday and being out at the hospital yesterday only basics/dailies got done.

So todays plan:-

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Clean floors
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Clean microwave
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week
Declutter mission task
27 fling boogie, start as we mean to go on by grabbing a bag and clear that clutter. If you can't find 27 it means you are doing well

Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs

Vacuum floor and sofas
Dusting and cobweb removal (if you want to dust round things that is fine)
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Wipe light switches and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
Clean window
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Tidy shoes, coats and bags
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
Declutter mission task
Clear one hotspot of your choice, even if only for 10 minutes

Got the tesco man coming too so will crack on with kitchen first so all ready.
Also need to put wash on (looks like rain though:rolleyes: )
Check meal plan as to whats on todays list

Maralum - Lovely pic and your so pretty, I looked like a bag of pooh after DD1 (actually I still do ). Owen looks like a super star and so proud of his little sister - long may the happy days continue:D

Lil-me - My DH has been pandered to by me for the last 13 years but the worm has turned. He now gets a list of jobs come the weekend and amazingly he does them :j . He started out by doing some of the girls ironing he now does all of it, even his work shirts (always told me he didnt know how to:mad: ). Think converting these blokes is like flying - babysteps. Hope you get things sorted soon hun - you do an amazing job :T

Right coffee and some boppy music (s-club 7 or steps - hangs head in shame but it is my housework music and gets me swishing that duster:D )

Evening
Delete all the junk in my inbox (home and work) and reply to any emails that need replying to
Return the towels to the bathroom as they tend to end up over the banister
Deal with any post that arrives
Sort out clothes for the next day
Give the kitchen a quick wipe over
Make sure any dirty crockery etc is in the dishwasher and put on if necessary

Hi babiebeany

I know the title of the thread here is Flylady "Weekly" but that's just because a new thread is started each week; the tasks themselves are suggested on a daily basis and, of course, everyone is free to set their own.

So I've added your thread onto this one.

Good luck.

Just started following the thread, but I'm not sure what I should do as part of my dailies list?

I was wondering what everyone has on their daily list, to give me a kick start with my own.

lil_me, who starts the weekly thread, is wonderfully organised. Each day of the week she add a list to the first post in the thread for that day's daily. Saves having to trawl through the whole thread each day to find the guidance list.

So, each day, check the first post of this thread (or the thread of the week) and you will find the daily schedule. It's soooo organised, it's even broken down into Levels depending on your time/ability etc.

Jump in and have fun with it

Morning all :hello:

Lil_me - you are an inspiration! My brain can't cope with 1 child, being a housewife and the occasional governors duties. Infact I've been up for over an hour and already my head is aching/buzzing with stuff. :rotfl:

I'm wondering whether it takes a certain type of highly organised/patient/mad woman to be the partner/wife of a sound & lighting engineer? I'm actually a qualified (theatre based) one myself and thats how I met my OH (he helped me over the internet with my dissertation, if it wasn't for him I would have failed my course ). He's had alot more experience and trained over 3 years in London which is why he made such a difference to my course! I haven't worked offically as a technician since May 2000 though (I've helped out on a couple of IL's shows while I was pregnant, and once I did the make-up when DD was little but thats it) whereas OH got a "casual" contract with a friend of mines' company here in Liverpool and worked all hours. DD was just a few months old when he got the job and we decided then that the job was not regular enough and involved too many hours away/long days for him to carry on with a child to support (it was a really poorly paid in money as well as hours) so instead he took his hobby of computers and made it into a career. 4 years down the line and it's finally starting to pay off the debts :j

Anyways, I digress! I'm going to have to admit that I am still working on the ebay listings:eek: I have 27 items left to do so I should get it all done and dusted today and as a result I'm keeping to another simple list

• Dailies
  • Beds
  • Bathroom S&S
  • Dishes - 1 down, another of baked on/breakfast things to go
  • Kitchen S&S
    
  • [STRIKE]Packed Lunch[/STRIKE]
  • Evening meal
  • Uniforms for tomorrow
  • WM - TOWELS & CLOTHS, maybe even bedding, will all depend though.
• Ebay
  • Listings
  • Parcels to dispatch
• Ironing - I REALLY need to get this done
• 123reg info to send to the school to forewarn them that they need to cough up some more money for the school website :rolleyes:
• Sort out my notebook - I have about 3 on the go and I need to get it down to 1, so my oldest & messiest one is now in pieces on the shelf of the desk waiting to be sorted.

Right, I best go and chance DD so I can get in the bathroom, will quickly swoop the desk first though as she's only just gone up Need to make room for my ebay stuff. :wave:
