:mad: Thought I would come home for a quiet lunch and get a couple of things done. Work right outside my front door consists of 1 generator going, 2 Phenmatic drills going, 1 angle grinder, 1 dumper truck constantly beeping whilst reversing onto my drive, 1 lorry parked on my drive, 2 blokes just chucking chocolate wrappers, matches and cigs butts on the drive and 1 bloke singing totally out of tune. There's no icon available for what I might do if I stay here any longer. Post you all tonight.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks Michelle, I am going to aim for level one and some of level two. I am feeling like I can do a bit of flying this week so I am going to take it slowly and see how I get on.

I don't do anything heavy so I will leave those jobs until I have help in the house. By that I mean DSs, DH or DD will do those jobs.

My list today as well as Michelles list is:
Do exercises
Phone butcher with order
Sort some paper work
10 minutes of DHs accounts

Wish me luck as things have become very cluttered with me taking some days out and only doing dailies with help.

Hi everyone, just enjoying a spot of lunch whilst catching up - it makes me tired just reading it all!

I've managed to do all kitchen tasks but not dining room - it goes better with hall and stairs. For the first time since I started working from home you gave me a reason to hate Monday's. At least that's how I felt half way through kitchen. Now it's all sparkly clean, I am very pleased with self.

Please tell me that now I've bottomed the kitchen, if I keep up every week with my flylady tasks it won't take 3 hours to do next time? (Please) Pre-flylady I was a regular s&s-er with sporadiac full cleans so didn't think house so dirty, where does it come from?

Also, disaster struck, ran out of Stardrops near end of jobs (gasp, shock, horror) and had to resort to washing up liquid.

Anyway, must go do some paid work now,

Mel

They were mine, but all 4 were taken by a fox last month. We're expecting more any time now, though, so will let you know.

Hope you don't mind me butting in, but I have five 'rescue' hens. They were battery hens in their previous life. They love the life here, wandering around in the garden and in the fields around us. Sometimes can't find their eggs though, they are often naughty and hide them really well. Today we haven't found any yet! I have to be careful when it is hot like today because if I leave the front or back doors open they just wander in! Not good for flylady floors!

Quick pop in while the kitchen floor dries Throught I would copy my list over this time as I'm on a new page Will make it easier tomorrow if I need to roll-over any jobs

Todays plan (my basic list with extras ):
Dailies

• [strike]Level One[/strike]
• Level Two
  • [strike]Kitchen S&S[/strike]
  • Evening Meal - just put the chicken out on the side to defrost (supposed to be 4 hours in a cool room...about 30 secs then? :rotfl: )
• Level Three
  • Uniform
  • Lunches for tomorrow
  • Washing Machine - just 1 load left to do, in theory including my cleaning cloths :j

Kitchen

  • [strike]Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required[/strike]
  • [strike]Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances[/strike]
  • Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week - will wait until I next use it.

Extra Mission:

• Defrost freezer - will try that later, but I need to have a good sort out of it first anyway!
• [strike]Wipe the outside of all your small appliances (kettle, toaster etc)[/strike] Do it weekly anyway as OH is a messy so-n-so :rotfl:
• Take things off a shelf (cupboard or storage shelf) so you can wipe the shelve and anything else that needs it

Personal Extras

• Ironing
• Bake (will also count towards the clearing stuff of the shelf and will fill my freezer up a bit as it's rather empty at the minute!)
• Sort out daily click-throughs etc for moneymaking sites

I'm starting to think it might be a bit too warm to bake ATM so I'll have a go tomorrow morning before the sun gets in there Unless I get the urge if I use the oven for tea :rotfl:

Right, off to investigate my freezer...I may be some time :eek: :wave:
