    whoop just wanted to say thank you! For the first time ever I've done the whole week. Some days more some less, but honestly the house looks so much better already!

    Today:
    cleared & put away all things in both bedrooms, polished both bedrooms. Stripped beds and put new linen on lo's bed (ours didn't need doing)

    Kept on top of rooms done throughout the week with a quick 15 minute put away, wipes of sides/basins.

    load of washing blown dry on the line

    gathered a bag of things to drop at the cs (maybe tomorrow?)

    tidied and swept the backgarden

    for the past 5 days I've been listing 3 things a day on fleabay as well. One sold already being collected tomorrow morning

    gosh really am surprised at how quickly everything looks clean, tidy and in order!

    Well done to all the slimmers.
    A flymeet would be lovely but a bit far for me, plus I have a hugely busy weekend this one and my mum staying in 10 days so next w/e I have to get the house and garden "sorted".
    Not a very productive week fly-wise either
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
  • Hi all x

    Still washing, still TD, still can't see the end yet:mad:
    Sorted it all out into colours, darks so it's easier to tackle tomorrow, I just hope it's dry so I can get some on the line.

    Just had a soak in a bubble bath and I'm off to bed.
    Sleep well everyone x

    Morning all. Up at silly o'clock with LittleyDog and Poppet - I shall be glad when the clocks go forward tonight. Sometimes it's worse than having toddlers.

    Anyway, they are fed and watered, I've done a meal plan for the week and just need to clean out the fridge now. Main plan today is to do gardening (which is currently covered in a thick frost) and tomorrow DD is taking me out for the day for Mother's Day.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Oh, and I would be up for a northern meet in the summer, just need plenty of notice to book the time off work.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I would love to but I have to work that day :(

    Definitely need to sort some more meets this year though x

    Sorry you won't be joining us, Frodders.

    I know a lot of Flyladies live further north than south, but we've had a few from Bristol over the years and at one point there were four in Plymouth although no-one else is posting at the moment, so it was a bit of a shot in the dark to see if anyone else was around.

    It always surpises me how quickly the house comes together with Flying if I've let things slide, DNM!

    House primped for OH's return and looks acceptable. I also did the most obvious extra that needed doing in each of the rooms we use most of the time. Amazing how big a difference that made, too.
    Better is good enough.

    well no rest for the wicked... busy weekend planned.
    Already got one washload on the line, have another due to finish shortly.
    Rabbit hutch cleaned out and airing. Bed stripped. Have showered.
    Am eating breakfast then I will do the kitchen, bathroom and use the mop water to swill out the wheelie bin. Also need to clear the HUGE pile by the door.
