you've inspired me to take another look at flylady. I've started many times with good intentions but not kept with it, which is stupid really as it's easy enough to do the basics. Will try harder0

I absolutely hate housework, I couldn't be a domestic goddess to save my life....but hoping I can keep up with just Level 1 at least0 -
Fly lady looks good and easy to keep up to PMO2 xxMummytogirls x0

I've done the kitchen, I've been rubbish at doing flylady since they stopped handing out stars many years ago but back in the day it helped me transform our tiny tip of a home into something saleable. We moved to somewhere twice the size and promptly filled it with junk, as you do.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Morning,
It's Wednesday and the kids go back to school tomorrow :j
Managed a NSD and LTW day yesterday but not an AFD, I only had a beer and one glass of wine and I did sleep better for it. Will aim for an AFD today.
Lunch with me today, trying to use bits up in the fridge.
Need to get in touch with the car finance company if my settlement letter hasn't come by the end of today, I rang on the 26th December so I'm hoping that it will come today.
Managed to save DH's shirt, when he was in the office yesterday, he was scratching his back with a pen and accidentally pressed the top and ended up with biro on his back **rolls eyes** load of Vanish and a wash and it's come out.
Need to put the washer on a service wash, something stinks in the kitchen and I think its that, if not, it'll be the fridge.
Our bed has been made this morning and dinner is something easy....ham, egg and chips or ham, chips and peas for DD as she doesn't like eggs.

Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more
•27 fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter

•Check the airing cupboard, anything that is way past it's use by (maybe recycle for rags if possible, you could donate old sheets oor towels to a local animal rescue for bedding)

Afternoon,
Spoke to a nice lady at the car finance place and the settlement letter has been emailed over to me...one thing ready for the weekend.
One survey on PA done, so that's inching up slowly.
DH did his tax return yesterday and is due a rebate...not a massive amount but will cover TP accident, so that can come off the Cap One card once it hits the bank account.0
