Weekly Flylady Thread 12th August 2013

Kaz2904

I'm in again this week. MiL is having the littlies on Tuesday for the day so I will try and get a load done then. Back to work on Thursday nit (boo) so need to get strait before then.
Tomorrow will consist of getting everyone ready for camps (DS and I are on cub camp and DD is on sea cadet camp) which need to be organised for very soon as I won't have much time after my 6 (or 7 can't remember) nights.
Then I can put away the remaining camping kit which has been on my table since we unloaded the car lat Saturday .
Also need to arrange DH's new car insurance, get rid of the old car and get my car quote over to the young lady who hit me. I just want to check that the garage has actually quoted for a new panel as it sounds too cheap and I want the panel replaced as I don't want rust starting :eek:.
See you all tomorrow xx

I'm flying in my holiday home. Thank you dusty!

OK I'm going to try AGAIN.....if you will have me as I fall off the wagon so easily.

Pigpen your baby is beaautiful :happylove

These lists are only suggestions and not a must do list; you are more than welcome to post and follow your own lists.

Also adding a declutter mission each day will help to gradually clear the clutter and make flying easier.

A few of the basics before we start the week

Hotspots are areas where if one thing gets put there, loads of other things follow!

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc.

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a bin bag and whiz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe/S&S means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

HHE/HHC/HHI Half Hour exercise/challenge/ironing ... run around for 30 minutes to the Benny Hill music frantically cleaning exercising or ironing.. other music may be used if you prefer!

30 minutes to spare..
Clear and wipe the worksurfaces
Clean the sink [STRIKE]and slush the drain out[/STRIKE]
Got an hour...
Clean the windows
Wipe the door handles - no door on either room so I'll wipe down the front door instead
Clean the extractor fan/filter change? - it hasn't been used yet
Wipe the oven kn@bs, underneath too if you can - perhaps I should sit down with a :coffee:and read the instruction book instead? :rotfl:
