    Morning all.
    Molly - welcome :hello:

    Today is a work day. My delivery has just arrived but I've already started the admin side earlier while I waited and half watched TV. ;) Haven't done any cleaning yet as I was enjoying the peace while DS was still in bed. I figured 11am was time for him to get up.

    Yesterday I made a start on the livingroom as it's easy to do while doing jobs in the kitchen so I have already done most of the list for today :p:p

    Manic Monday ~ Kitchen
    Level One

    Mop floors
    Extras
    Clean detergent dispensers - need to finish the laundry first while the weather is nice but the washer has been on a boil wash once it got too late to hang stuff out ;)

    Mad Tuesday - Living room, Hallway, Stairs
    Level Two

    Dust those flat fluffy surfaces
    Level Three
    Clean windows, pictures, mirrors etc.
    Extras
    • Wipe woodwork in the hall and stairs & wipe front door.. inside and out!
    • Wash any nets/curtains that need cleaning.. put up fresh ones!
    • 15 minutes filing

    Going to get on with work now so I can get it organised and out the way. See you later :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Bin bag dance done, recycling out. Mo.re recycling being washed/soaked. Large handful of weeds pulled
    Decided to wash the mattress and pillow protectors from DS's bed while it was stripped. So they're swishing now. Windows open wide.

  • Good afternoon all! I'm new here, started doing a bit of flyladying a couple of weeks ago, so I'm still working on building habits, this group seems friendly and helpful so thought I'd join you!

    I'll get started on Mad Tuesday when I get home from work this evening! 🙂

    Welcome Turtle. It’s a very supportive and friendly group. And sometimes I even manage to do some flying as well ;)
    Home from work. Bins retrieved from the pavement for us and NDN. Wm is now swishing with towels but of course the sun has now gone in. I’m sneaking a quick cuppa then I’m setting to on the kitchen and DR. I’m keeping everything crossed that DH is out with work tonight, then I’ll get some paperwork caught up on as well.

    Welcome Turtle! I am a newbie myself as only been posting a week although followed along for a while before that. Flying or sometimes just fluttering seems to working so far for me!

    Have hoovered hall stairs and landing, 2 flights so lots of stairs, easy supper tonight as I made in advance on the weekend. Sitting in the sun in the conservatory at the moment, very pleasant indeed! Will aim for a relaxed evening and an early night as I didn’t sleep well last night. Really quite tired now!

    Have a good evening all
