Weekly Flylady Thread 27th October 2014

  • Hi Everyone. I believe this is my first post on here!

    I had hoped to do this flylady week last week but was pretty poorly towards the end of the week; hopefully will be able to get on and get things done this week. An issue in our household is that we are both vintage enthusiasts which gets a bit hoarder like sometimes. OH has been tasked with purchasing some more things for storage to suit our 1930s bedroom and 1950s spare bedroom (which is more like room of requirement at the moment!)

    Since not a lot got done during the week because I felt ill and OH works away we had a really good blitz today and cleaned out the kitchen and living room. OH put up the shelves in the kitchen that we bought on Saturday and I unpacked my tea set and arranged it on there. We moved house over 6 months ago but for us this is fast progress!!

    I sorted out my shoe boxes for charity to go to children in other countries so that sorted out a little bit of clutter too from things I had been collecting for it.

    This coming week I hope to sort out the blanket box (where I quickly stash a lot of stuff with the idea I will sort out later and then never do) and my vanity table!

    Thanks. I realised it was there just as I had posted my reply to this one.
