    good heavens, for once I too am done - had to clean the fridge last week as something nasty had spilled and then frozen to the back :o :rotfl: haven't been shopping again yet so it's still pretty empty :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Sorry about the flat Pippi, so promising! :( Fingers crossed someone wants it soon x
  • Well done girls!!!! I did mine today I've still not been 'right'.

    :)

    Fly mission today is....

    Some kitchen jobs I do when in zone 2 that don't seem to be in the missions are:

    Run the self-cleaning oven cycle. I do this about once a season.

    Put mineral oil on my wood chopping blocks and wooden knife handles. Their color returns and they are so much nicer to use when properly oiled.

    Wipe down the tile walls between my counter and the cabinets. I do this when the mission is cleaning the counters. It only adds a few minutes' time but needs to be done.


    I'm here and got a bit of womble work to do from home.

    Also got to get the garden furniture in/put away before the gales hit later this week if they arrive.

    Wood needs topped up
    Cooking to do
    - whizzed up more courgette/tomato sauce, make more later. yes we still have courgetttes
    - make tea for thurs/sat/sun when we have visitors.
    - reduced leg lamb
    - reduced meat for meatballs
    -reduce mince for spag bog

    Reduced bread/milk/cereal in the house already

    Must make up the bedrooms have two diff visitors coming over diff days.

    Towels to wash so have the stove on
    Bedding to do too
    Dig out couple puddings from freezer we never eat, maybe they will :D

    Bit of an at home with a bit of a nip out for a few things like a loo seat (broken)

    Will also walk mutts.

    Hope you're all good, I'm on half speed I think.

    Aw, hope you're feeling more lively soon! Yay for holidays :j :j :j

    I've got my flylady missions muddled up I think as mine was different to yours :rotfl: but I cleaned out my utensil pots (which were disgusting :o ) and even wiped out the cutlery drawer (which never has any cutlery in, as it's in the pot by the sink) - which was also disgusting :o:o Nice and clean now though :D

    Take it easy lass xx

    Ah yes, looks like I did yesterday's mission instead - which is all very well as I didn't do anything yesterday :rotfl:

    Sadly my oven is NOT self cleaning... guess that means I'd best get the scrubbing brush out...
