Weekly Flylady Thread 9th June 2008

luby-lou

Hope everyone enjoyed the sun today.

I'm back in after a few VERY hormonal days where nothing much got done.

I have however, done a few things in the kitchen today so I've got a head start on tomorrow!:j :j :j Not sure if I'm dreading getting up early for the school run tomorrow or looking forward to getting back into some sort of routine.

I've never done flylady before but looking at the state of my house ATM I am going to join in this week to see how I get on. In general the downstairs is okay (ish) but upstairs is a bit of a disaster area. I am going to tackle all rooms except for DD1's bedroom, which is a festering pit that I am not going to touch on principal.

Here is my to do for Monday:
Mad Monday - Kitchen of Kreation
Level One
Open the windows and let in the light
Clear and wipe the worksurfaces & table
Level Two
Wipe the little appliances and put them back in their homes
Wipe over the cupboards and large appliances

Level Three
Sweep and mop the floor
Shine the grotty windows
Drag everything out of the tins cupboard.. wipe it out and put back the bits you are keeping.. Get rid of the things you will never eat or incorporate them into your weekly meal plan!!!
Extras

1. HHI
2. Fill a bag for charity shop

It will be great if I can get that done tomorrow! My kitchen units look a right state - I bought these lovely shaker units but didn't realise that the tongue and groove finish would attract such a lot of dirt and be so hard to clean!

I'm in again this week ladies, looking forward to the extras as well:D :rotfl:

Didn't get much of my list done this weekend, but had fun instead trecking round a carboot with kids and then planting pots today!

Ok off to bed, few things that I really need to do tommorow are:

• Freezer/Cupboard inventory & meal plan(have overspent due to plant buying today oops!:o )
• List more carp on ebay(to recoup lost funds)
• Get rid of the mountain of washing that has built up

Must go find my other list that I didn't do much of, then I'm off to bed...

Hi

I'm in. I've just had loads of stuff end on ebay so i've been busy packing parcels. I've decided i'm not going to wrap them until they've been paid for. Last year i wrapped the parcels after the auctions finished and accidently sent one that hadn't been paid for:o luckily i had a very honest buyer who paid up. So now i'm being careful.:rolleyes:

Ds2 is still incredibly spotty and grumpy. Only a couple more days till he's not infectious any more.

I also have a new (to me) washing machine after mine died on Friday courtesy of my Sister, she had one in her friends garage. When she moved she wanted a new washing machine so she told her DH that hers had broken because he's completely useless when it comes to things like that he belived her.:eek: We had to tell him that her friend had found a part to fix it . Anyway it's good it is A rated and has a quick cycle and a timer so i'm happy.

hollyh does your sister have another spare? Mines squeaking I don't know what's wrong with it but it's made a right racket tonight. Suppose it's not really mine, it's the landlady's, but after she didn't even answer my last calls and texts, I guess I will be dragging mine out of the garage if needs be......think I might call her mother who's down as a contact or write a letter via her asking her to keep me up to date with her phone number, she seems to change it every month or so.

Welcome to all the newbies, hope you find this thread useful.

I've just realised I have 5 weeks until the boys are off for the summer, so I think I best work on my 'before summer' list. This list needs to include all the painting jobs, 'flinging what they will scream about' jobs etc etc.

Right, still got pack ups to make so I best get a wriggle on, get that done and then get to bed.

I'm in, didnt really get much done this week what with DH's work and what was happening there:mad: . Not much to report. We have gone thru the application for discharge with a fine tooth comb and DH has written his reply. He has to hand it in tomorrow morning so will hopefully have news later tomorrow. So have big plans for tomorrow morning lol:rotfl: ! Take DD1 to school bus, DD2 back at nursery (yippee:j !) as its just hayfever she has so just going to inform nursery to keep an eye on her snotty beak!

Off to bed, need me beauty sleep:p (haha thats a laugh lol) so will see you all tomorrow!

Nite nite all xxx
