Weekly Flyady Thread 30th May 2016

pigpen

Thank you toNatty for last week's thread

Do not lose heart if you cannot keep up with everyone else or reading the thread, don't try to reply to everyone and please remember to include something about flying in all your posts.

Welcome to the weekly Flylady thread. If you need help organising your week or getting motivated when it comes to housework then come and join us.

Every room comes back around next week so please don’t stress about catching up

These lists are only suggestions and not a must do list; you are more than welcome to post and follow your own lists.

Also adding a declutter mission each day will help to gradually clear the clutter and make flying easier.

A few of the basics before we start the week

Hotspots are areas where if one thing gets put there, loads of other things follow!

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc.

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a bin bag and whiz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe/S&S means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

HHE/HHC/HHI Half Hour exercise/challenge/ironing ... run around for 30 minutes to the Benny Hill music frantically cleaning exercising or ironing.. other music may be used if you prefer!

WM ~ Washing machine
TD ~ Tumble dryer
SC ~ Slowcooker
BM ~ Breadmaker
DW ~ Dishwasher
SOAADFA ~ Sit on 'bottom' and do 'nothing'
KH/XH/FW ~ Ex-husband and other not so polite versions
DH/DD/DS/DW/DP ~ Dear husband/daughter/son/wife/partner/whatever
OH/SO ~ Other half/significant other
NN ~ nice neighbour
Toxic (friend/mother/sister/whoever) ~ person in your life that seems to exist to make your life miserable
AF ~ Aunt Flo 'time of the month'.. nothing to do with flying but it comes up often.
ETA ~ Editted to add
gibble ~ miscellaneous crap that appears forever homeless
Dot-to-dot ~ pick a small area (not a whole room) like a chair/coffee/table/shelf/worktop or wherever- thats your first 'dot' - totally clear it - clean it - and only put back what should be there - deal with what you have removed (not just move it somewhere else) then if you have time move on and do the same to another 'dot' -the idea is just like a dot to dot puzzle, you aim to join up all the dots and have a tidy room. The trick is to keep each dot tidy until you get them all joined up!
RoD ~ Room of Doom, the one room that feels like it is a permanent pit and cannot be used to its potential!

Mr S/A/T/M/L/Al - supermarkets Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi. You get the picture!!

Thank you to pigpen for the new thread and Natty for last week's.

Since coming away I have made my bed every day and cleaned my plate every time someone has put food in front of me :rotfl: DH is holding the fort at home

Glad you got good news, Valli.
:wave: to CY.
Truth is stronger than fiction, pigpen :T

Back on Wednesday evening. Hope everyone has a good week x

Jazee

Thanks for the list Piggers. Week off for me so gardening and days out take priority but I may peruse the list if it pours with rain.

See you all tomorrow.

Valli

Thanks for the list, I am off so trying to get extra stuff done. I am very pleased with myself because, in addition to stripping and remaking my bed, Dw, WM (x2), and ironing I have emptied the shed, swept it out, rebuilt the shelves I took out of the hall and put them in the shed, binned some stuff and put it all back tidily. That's a Toots list job completed! Cleaned out the bunny hutch too.

Thanks Pigpen, I'm going to try and be in. Its my busy work week and half term, but I'm going to get DD to do some flying as well especially if she wants spending money to go out with her friends!

Early start this morning as my delivery is due. Its still not arrived but the binmen have been and emptied the recycling bins. WM has already been on with the back up dogs bed which is now pegged out. Just discovered the inner lining has a hole in it so I'm going to have to fix that.

I'm going to do an hour or so of work this morning then go for a bath before DD gets home. She's about 4 hours drive away in theory so at least I'll have plenty of warning that she's heading home lol

Personal:

Sort 10 bookmarks a day.
Update household accounts
Scanning & Shredding (on going project)

Morning all. Up at 5 with OldDog but she let me go back to bed for a couple of hours.

Only flying done here was a quick hoover through while DH is at work. The trouble with being married to a workaholic (as well as alcoholic) is that they don't understand the what a 'holiday' is meant to be.

Having breakfast now. Getting dressed and dog walk next.

Have a great day everyone.

Hugs Jazee holidays can be a pain sometimes. we try to hang out at home on bank hols to avoid all that "happy family" stuff. Don't get me wrong, we are happy but double parenting is hard enough without the kids seeing other kiddies being carried around on dads shoulders, sigh.

So, we are doing lazy DVD morning and swimming later - can't see the pool being busy on a bank hol - famous last words... Lol

I'm in this week although since my kitchen is being ripped out in a month I may not be very particular with cupboards etc, lol.

We are none of us dressed yet - bliss
