    Wednesday - Master Bedrooms and Landings
    Level One
    [strike]Strip bed linen and wash, replace with clean linen[/strike] - Did Saturday :)

  • Just caught up with the thread - haven't posted for a couple of days cause felt wiped out but feeling much more like myself today.

    :grouphug: to all that need them

    Had to go and babysit my lovely niece last night while my sis did the hospital run - and occupied her by getting her 'to pretend to be a house-elf' a la Harry Potter which is just code for her helping me with the washing up, cooking dinner for my sis and mom and cleaning her paints before she was allowed to make her pictures - I know it sounds like the slave trade cause she's only 3.5 but she loved it - she was even trying to shine the sink and washing up bowl - it's the best behaved she's ever been for me - a true FlyBaby in the making (now how to get her mum to be the same :D)

    I've decided to go back to the dreaded Weightwatchers tonight as my willpower towards food and exercise has deserted me (or should I say desserted :D) - think that if the house is in reasonable shape, that when someone sets a HHC, I might do a HHE (half hour exercise) in its place.

    Think I'll go on the lose weight thread as well - are any FlyLadys on there?
    I'd rather be watching CSI!
  • Today's list:-

    Strip bed and wash
    Check smoke detector
    Sort under bed and vacuum
    Vac mattress
    Vac upstairs
    Remake bed
    Clean door handles
    Clean light switches
    Wash up
    Sweep kitchen floor
    +
    Send invoice to insurance company
    30 min trawl for new home insurance
    Sort coupon for WW
    WW meeting 1900
    Measure myself

    Anyone up for a HHC at 1200?

    Morning all

    Didn't really fly yesterday, just did a load of washing.

    All the best to lilo, and anybody else who needs good wishes.

    I've stripped my bed today, done two loads of washing and draped it round indoors. It's dry today but doesn't seem like a drying day.

    Remade bed. Dusted all the bedrooms and vacuumed them all, then landing and bathroom and toilet.

    vacuumed stairs.

    Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Took cat to vet, she's having her teeth cleaned today. Hope there are no extractions or it will cost (even) more. I can ring up at 2pm.

    Think that's it.
  • Ok 1st HHC - 1200-1230

    2nd HHC - 1300-1330

    I'm going going gone.....................................
