Weekly Flylady Thread 5th November 2007

Hi rumblytum - I'm a relative newbie too. I've found the advice and support on this forum wonderful and best of all the lists that are put up are suggestions not have go tos.

One piece of advice that someone offered me when I first joined that I found really helped was do a room list thoroughly one week and just the easy stuff the following week and cause the rooms roll round again and again, everything will get tackled in the end without you killing yourself of doing housework all weekend.

Once you've got used to what comes round when, you can see what will be coming up and if you've got a few extra mins you can get ahead of yourself or, on a manic week, you won't mind if you fall a bit behind as it all comes round again soon.

Anyway, welcome .......now where's the kettle?

Hi guys

I'm feeling rather pleased with myself as I've completed the "monday mayhem challenge" this morning. Even though its wednesday - better late than never I suppose :rolleyes:


Monday Mayhem - Living Room, Hall and Stairs

Level 1
Vacuum floors
Level 2
Dusting
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Water any thirsty plants, wipe their poor neglected leaves!!
Level 3
Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing in preparation for cold weather!! See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house!
Put up linings or winter curtains to keep out those draughts. Already Done
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper. Already Done
• Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself – Can’t do yet cause of my op (got 7inch scar through my tum – Ouch!!)
• Clean a window or two. Same reason as above

Deep Clean Challenge
Clean light fittings, Can’t do yet
Skirtings even the ones behind furniture.
Clean fire-surrounds.
Wipe sofa's down.
Dust all those trinkets!

Extra’s

GROAN!!!!!!!!!!

I've been christmas shopping!!! And now I am DEAD!!!!

I dropped grubs at school.. came home put the footmuff on the pushchair as Tiddles was saying she was cold.. collected her dummy and eeyore, out the breadmaker on and off we tootled to BHS.. got back about 15 minutes ago £300 lighter!!! BUT.. DD1 is done.. and DD3 and DD4 AND.. DS2... PHEW.. halfway there!!!

I got some bits for my sister and then I went to boots and got some smellies on 342 for DS1.. (I bought him something.. 2 things in fact!!) I got some slap for DD1 and#I got a whole pack of sanitary towels.. and a lip pencil!.. I know.. spoiled myself.. I used my pigsback voucher in ther.. collected a 350 points if you spend £50 at the kiosk so used that.. got my points and the points for my online orders.. £47.80 for NEXT christmas now!! and paid a grand old £3.80!!! Only another £80 of vouchers to use in there!!

I want a bottle of CKIN2U for hubby, I got ultraviolet for my stepdad.. and I think I might get the girly CKIN2U for me.. well.. add it to my christmas list at any rate!

I am taking my mother tonight.. but there is less for me to buy now seeing as I got a large amount this morning.. some of the staff in there are doing 14 hours today!!!!! I know they'll get paid for it but still.. I bet they are exhausted by 10 tonight.. it was REALLY busy!!

Oh.. I got a voucher for 20% off in the restaurant as well so I'll take my mother for dinner as well!!

Just a normal Christmas CD now :rotfl: Thats the great thing about having a dad with a HUGE CD collection I've got some mix CDs for Christmas which keeps me and DD (and OH when he's in the mood) happy as it's oldies (like White Christmas) and more modern ones like Pipes of Peace :dance:

I'm flying but don't seem to be crossing anything off now?

• Dailies
  • [strike]Dishes[/strike]
  • [strike]Kitchen S&S[/strike]
  • Evening meal - no idea
  • Paul McKenna CD
  • [strike]Wash Load[/strike] rug still drying, dark wash from yesterday almost dry, and the one from today now on the maiden :rolleyes: 2 more piles on the floor in the kitchen :eek:
    
• Livingroom, hall & Stairs
  
  • Dust
  • Damp wipe where necessary (banister, switches, coffeetable)
    
  • Dry clean window (microfibre cloth - no pets so don't really get dirty on the inside, just dusty )
  • Paperwork Clearance
  • Wipe skirting boards
• Kitchen
  • [strike]Sort fridge[/strike]
  • [strike]Wipe small applicances[/strike]
  • Clean windows

  • Dust
  • Sticky mark removal

Right, now do I dust or do some baking (which will help clear out some of my food cupboard & fill the freezer at the same time, as well as warm up the oven for tea and make it easier for me to clean later? ) Right, baking it is DD can dust later for me Now to see what I have in to bake :rotfl::wave:

My boots order has just arrived as well.. I have one thing to return to swap but other than that all is looking good.. I have almost saved enough money to do my huge lush order.. I'll be able to do it next Wednesyda when the tax credits go in.

Well.. I've had a pasty for lunch and 4 of DD5's crisps.. I love crisps!! And a cuppa so I'll go up and sort out the stuff I've just bought and cross what I can off my list!!

I am starting to feel like christmas is all starting to come together now.. but I am usually wrapping by now!!! :eek:!! It takes me a month to get it all wrapped usually!! I'll start panicking mid-December at this rate because it isn't all done!

pigpen

I've done something!! I put a chocolate loaf in for pack-ups tomorrow!!

My mobile has just restarted itself for some bizarre reason.. oh well..

Best ring my mother and see what the vet said about her dog..:rolleyes:
