Weekly Flylady Thread 10th March 2008

MiniLaura

Hi

Have a question about flylady stuff - i know that most of you follow it on a daily basis, but how would you advise someone who was only able to do stuff at weekends or two days a week to procede? Follow level one for weekdays/working days? Need to get myself into routine of getting the house into good shape at weekends, and need a plan to do it, or should I just go for it on my own?

minilaura..The lists are just a guidleline of stuff you could do.. doing just level one would make a difference.. better than doing nothing after all!! You might find that doing level one the first few weeks makes your house bearable so you can do some of the level 2 things too. I can usually do a room in an hour so it depends on how much time you have on the days off! Stay anyway.. try it and see how you get on.. you can always adapt it for your needs!!

Fearsome Friday- those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
Level One
[strike] Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc[/strike]
Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself!!!!! paint your nails, make an appointment to have your hair done, a lovely soak in the bath.. whatever you feel like!! I'm having my nails done this morning as usual
Level Two
[strike] Vacuum the floor
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!![/strike] What curtain poles? :rotfl:
[strike] Strip beds[/strike], [strike] replace with fresh linen[/strike]
Level Three
[strike] Clean 2 windows[/strike] Cleaned 3:D
[strike] Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors[/strike]
Extra Task List

• Wipe the radiators, skirtings and window & door frames!
• [strike]End of week fling!! grab a binbag and fill it with stuff to leave the house.. rubbish or charity shop or to donate to a friend![/strike] A permanently on-going project.

The weekend list will be up tomorrow! Oh goody - can't wait :rolleyes::D

Will have a go at the weekend list and see how I get on - I live on my own and dont do much during week - dishes to do etc, wash and dry any clothes - weekend list may be most feasible to follow, and see what I can do each day outta the list. Now thinking its managable as no kids etc!

oooh Fk that.. I csn't get through to make an appoitnmet for enuresis clinic.. I'll just struggle on as usual.. ARGH!! That is infuriating!!

ok.. I'm through.. and the receptionist didn't even know what the enuretic clinic was.. !!!!!! is that about???

She is booked in for an assessment on 7th May.. and I have a date to be confirmed about her hearing and the HV is calling about Tiddles silly walking and Jb has her physio assessment next week.. all in all a fairly good call... lol... I don't like that school nurse!

Hope you all had good HHC

Not a lot to report from here, DH is back at work and DS is in bed for a snooze. Been a little monkey at swimming so hopefully he'll get up in a better mood. The sun is out today - hooray and its actually quite pleasently warm - lovely. Big dog loving the sun and been out since I got in at 11, can't get him in, i'll have to chase him I think.

Done a couple of jobs and house is looking clean and tidy for a change, got a line of white washing blowing so that'll all be easy to iron.

Right, better finish off my meal plan and list - Aldi's calling me once DS is up.

Afternoon.

Work all finished so just having a late lunch. Cuppa and some of DS2's chocolate brownie and then the hoover awaits me. Going to be really productive whilst DS3 is at mums to try to get back on track before the weekend.

Right washing to put on the line and off I go.
