Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd February 2020

Thanks SexyMouse; I might try that as part of its monthly clean cycle - especially as it's a WD.
DH has thoughtfully given me his cold so trying to stave off the head fog while I work from home.

Just spotted thread date was wrong! Now corrected.
Also reset pw so can now log in on iPad.

3 days with successful bus catching for DS2. He was in trouble at school yesterday but managed to be only excluded from 6th form today instead of the whole school.

Part of bathroom ceiling bleached but abandoned as I splashed some on my face. Eye protection mask couldn’t be worn as the mould had got to it.
I’m waiting for a parcel then will pop out to buy another then continue.

I need to pop to see dancegran too

Well I've been over our fridge seal with a few different products now (antibac cleaner, wd40, hydrogen peroxide), and it still has ingrained mould in it. I wanted to avoid bleach as I read it could dry out the seals and make them crack. Any recommendations or should I just bite the bullet and use bleach anyway?


Have been blitzing the bathroom but have had to keep stopping as DS2 has been investigating all the potions and lotions etc and kept on running off with things he wanted to explore. Will update with a proper list later.



Hugs to all who need them - sounds like a few having a rough time again. x

I'm intrigued about the dishwasher tablet in the washing machine sexymouse, let me know how you get on?

I use them lots.. OH and DS1 work in kitchens and the wash powder does nothing for the grease so I chuck a DW tablet in too.. everything comes out sparkly.. and leaves the WM smelling nice and looking shiny.
