Cat litter emptied and trays scrubbed, bathroom bin emptied and bathroom floor swept and cleaned.

Hello flypeople. My visitors left around midday so I've watered the plants, hoovered and mopped through the house, and got the ironing up to date. Washing machine now working overtime as I haven't done any for days. Spare beds tidied away too.
I've just had a cuppa and three biscuits and I feel really tired as it's been a really active week. I'm going to sit down for 5 minutes, then if I don't fall asleep, I'll get cracking with cutting the grass.
Hope everyone is having a great day.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Clothes sorted and money stuff organised. DD keeps asking for food then not eating it. Lol I'm following my own advice on the fussy kids thread heheh.
We've done some reading too - she is blending now, bless her, it seems to be her kind of logic, so I'll find DS phase one sound sheets for her. Still think it's a shame she has another year in nursery. But there's nothing I can do about it other than teach her myself.
Right I'm off to look in spare room cupboard for a tombola prize!Bossymoo

😔 feeling a little down today. Worked my a*** of yesterday and ran around like a headless chicken this morning. Cleaned a bathroom, done three loads of washing et. Etc. went swimming with ds2 and had some lunch with some friends. Got back an hour ago and the house looks like a bomb site. I have been doing big things like cleaning out plug holes and now realised how much 'stuff' seems to have accumulated! Will it ever end!!Grocery challenge-

Hi guys
I desperately need to get my life back in order, I've been seriously slacking!
I think I've worked out what I need to do to get started, can someone correct me if I have this wrong?
Each week copy and paste the flylady items and cross off what I get done each day
Make a frog list
Make a list of daily items
I was wondering what the monthly challenge bit is about please?
Thanks in advance!

I live alone

I have 5 pets (a hamster, 2 crested geckos and 2 degus - all rescues)

Hi elsiepac and welcome. It sounds like you have a good plan. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day, and each room will come back round next week, so just see how you go! The June challenge isn't really housework related as such. It's more a personal pledge for something you want to achieve for yourself. It might be health related, or finances, studying or crafts etc. something you feel will enrich life for you. Hopefully all that drivel will make sense... X
I thought there was a tombola today so took £2 to school lol it's not today so the kids had an icecream instead on the way home. DS has been fine with his knees.
Suppose I'll go start dinner...Bossymoo
