Weekly Flylady Thread 20th October 2014

SAHMwannabe

Can I join this week please I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and now taking the plunge to get involved!

I have a five month old little girl so my housework tends to get done in ten minute blasts through the day so I need a bit of motivation sonetimes to get on with 'stuff'!

Hi can I join in? I used to do this off and on years ago. But now I have 2 under 3's I struggle with even the simplest tasks, my house is a bombsite and I need some order. I'm trying to declutter too so things seem to get worse before they get better! Every room needs tackling and I have am ironing pile worth about 8 hrs! So at some point I need to fit that in too! Right enough of my rambling, just wanted to say, I'm in!!

This sounds familiar. I am trying to Declutter my house ready to put it on the market. I seem to get one room straight and then while I am starting on another room, the first room becomes cluttered again. I'm hoping to get round the whole house do a room at a time properly so that next week I can just have a whizz around all the rooms in the house and it won't take as long! Here's hoping!

Going to make a start on the LR this morning.

Morning everyone - I'm back in - well as much as my sciatica will allow!!!! much improved however but the GP instructions do say no housework!!!!


Have plumbers coming this am so trying to sort everything out in the rooms they are going in and empty cupboards etc. Just off to shower and clean bathroom.


Had another lovely long weekend with DS and D sis and b-in-law but realise SW has made my tastebuds change so felt really queasy after Indian on Sat.


Love today's list Dusty as will fit right in with my plans.


Thanks for lists Natty and Dusty and Ionafan.

Morning all. It feels nice to be able to cross 1 thing from the list this early on a Monday morning! We are going geocaching next Friday. It's my only day off over half term and DD has decided to go to a party instead. It's her friend she doesn't see very often so I don't mind too much.
DH assures me there is a menu plan but I see no evidence of it. Woofer is sorted as she has 4 days of meals made at a time with bendy veg and her meat.
Only working tonight this week so should actually be able to keep up with the lists. All beds need stripping but I'm not changing ours for DH to be the first one in it .

Hope all have a good day today
