Weekly Flylady Thread 4th November 2013

Honey_Bear

I should be able to do the list tomorrow, given that I did some of it today while I was clicking on links while I was loafing - thanks to all Flyladies past and present.

Dusty's Challenge - I will clear 1m3 (duh - superscript?) 1 cubic metre in the attic. OH and I decided a couple of weeks ago we had to deal with some problems up there. Builder Person will need space to work and I need to make that space.

Good luck Beautiful Ionafan with the weightloss target.

Missing Bossy Moo and Valli and looking forward to seeing you both back.

:wave: and congratulations Madcatgirl and minimadcatgirl

Thankyou for the new thread Dusty
loved the video pigpen
no appointments this week so can spend my time while LO is at school cleaning sorting and bagging.
ive noticed having a good clearout at least once a month is making a huge difference.
i hope to have a productive week as i have just realised if my prediction is correct (i've had a feeling since very early on altho baby will prob prove me wrong) i could be giving birth in the next 2 and a half - 3 and a half weeks .... yikes ! its gone and coming round so quick... im starting to get anxious/scared.
this week i made sure we had a good clearout and i think i got rid of more-a-less everything i can .... just the understairs cupboard to sort and then its just a case of keeping on top of everything until during and after baby arriving.
This week i need to:
-pay cheques in bank.
-sort freezers
-sort understairs
-fill a bin bag of stuff from under the stairs and anything i missed this week that can leave the house
-put all laundry away
-box up LO's clothes that are too small.
-sort my clothes
-get DP to declutter his clothes
-empty cot
-make a cc payment
-buy storage drawers - get rid of unit in bedroom
-check under our bed - declutter if needed
-give each room one last 'winter/spring' clean
-sort hall cupboard
-hoover/mop/dust/clean surfaces in all rooms
-clean all window sills and windows
-wash our bedroom curtains
-get grandparents xmas presents
-get xmas presents for DP's parents
-get box of chocs for bro off kids
-clean out rat and hamster
-do a skip run
-strip/wash/replace bedding on both beds
-have an empty laundry basket
-sort handbag
-put hospital bag in car ... in case we are out and something happens
-get rid of old crocks = send round to MIL .. replace with new ones
-declutter kitchen cupboards and drawers
-hoover and clean under furniture in living room
-Pay bills
-Clean inside fridge and freezer
-Declutter and clean larder
-Declutter and clean boiler cupboard
-Declutter shed
-Deep clean bathroom

We need new things on the list I do all these as a matter of course now.. I don't fold all the laundry as often as I should or clear the airers. I don't fill enough binbags of grot and gubbins. I don't sort toy boxes or wardrobes as often as I should.

I know what needs to be done I am just a slob at heart!

Morning all. I'm in again. This morning though, I'm going to do the LR to stay close to SickDog, thanks for all your good wishes.

Valli - hope you pop in now and again
Bossymoo - hope to see you back soon if you're still reading

Welcome to new joiners.

I have to empty, sort out and decorate DD's room in the next two weeks ready for her new flooring to go down, so not really a challenge as it has to be done but that will be mine for November. Yes, I know, cheating again.

For the December ironing challenge, mine has been up to date since last year's challenge. Yay!! And yes, I am showing off.

Have a great day everyone.

I'm in again. Thanks for the lists. My frog is the spare room.

Morning all. I'm lazing around drinking coffee as if I've nothing better to do :eek:. Kids have gone off to school. It's bright and sunny here which makes it so much easier for them to get off.
I have training from 13.30 until 17:00 today and we'll be doing DS's homework this evening as it's due in Wednesday and won't deflate too much by then.
See you later .

ETA: congratulations madcatgirl .
