Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd June 2008

luby-lou

Just a flying visit today - mum getting DD1 from school and DD2 just waking up. Then got to give them tea, collect my car as long as its ready today - (annoying if its not as I'm supposed to be meeting a friend tomorrow and I've not seen her for about 9 months so looking forward to it), then working tonight. Not got a clue what to have for tea either!

However, this is what I have done so far (admittedly I did do these yesterday though!)

Thursday Bathroom and Study/Pc Area

Level One
[strike]Clean floors in these rooms (even if it is around the clutter) [/strike]
Level Two
[strike]Clean baths, toilets and sinks[/strike]
[strike]Clear any clutter from desk[/strike] - Not got one
[strike]Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!! (baby wipes are fantastic for this!!) [/strike]again, not got one

[strike]Wipe keyboard, house phone and mouse (these usually have more germs on than your toilet so important).. [/strike]
[strike]

[/strike]

Level Three

[strike]Clear clutter from floor [/strike]

[strike]

[/strike]

Wipe down tiles in bathroom

Clean shower screen/curtain/bath mats if you have one/if required
Clean the brushes/dust box/filters on the vacuum cleaner!!!! .. make sure they are completely dry before using it though.. I don’t want anyone electrocuted!!
Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt

1. [strike]
   
2. Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
3. Wipe down 2 doors.. room doors.. both sides
4. [/strike][strike]Sort a wardrobe or part of, a drawer or set of drawers making sure it has what needs to be in it and any 'extras' are put where they should be and anything no longer needed is rehomed. [/strike]
5. How is the 5-a-day ebay challenge going?? Sorry, its not!!!! Really need to put a few things on this weekend.

Suppose I'd best get LO up. She managed to unzip and remove her own sleeping bag this morning and then was trying to climb out of the cot - after using the mattress as a trampoline first. Hope she doesn't manage to climb out as I'd like to keep her in the cot a bit longer. DD2 was in one til she was 2 1/2 and even when she went in a bed she never actually got out of it.

Oh I like the life book... but am wondering if you could make one yourself... or get one cheaper! :rotfl: Sept 08 to Dec 09 is good value right enough... We use a calendar like the organiser one, MIL buys it for us all at Christmas.

Bathroom

Cleaned loo
Cleaned sink (DS2 made toothpaste mountains)
Cleaned bath
Cleaned shower screen
Cleaned tiles
Wiped mirror
Removed rubbish
Cleaned window and sill
Cleaned floor (if swishing a dirty towel about to dry whereI dropped teh shower head and soaked the place counts as cleaning)

Kids room

Stripped beds
Fought the giant polar bear
Pulled DS2 out the wardrobe a few times
Collected what dirty clothes I could see
Picked up a few toys
Ran away very fast from the 'whatever that used to be monster'

:coffee: then back to kids room

:rotfl: I know, i'd not played it for ages and sedating sheep reminded me. It's strangly therapeutic!! :rotfl:

Off to fill a charity bag with [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] very valuable things to make lots of money for charity bag that came through the door xx

tiamai_d you are right, its not very "money saving" to buy the lifebook and planners I have to say that the large planner I have is wipe clean, so you just rub it all out at the end of the week and write up everything for the following week. The life books are really lovely (quite girly) and I would be lost without mine now I know for sure that there are a few sites where you can print off schedules and planners. I will try and find a site where this can be done, unless anyone can think of one off the top of their head - that option is probably more "money saving"

lil_me

https://www.chartjungle.com has millions of pages inc planners and lists. A laminator is about £15 and you can make wipe clean pages using these then punch hole them, stick them in a ring binder and voila. Oh useful aswell is some clear pockets for receipts, bills etc and sticky labels are good for keeping them in, stick one in the middle at the top.

No I wouldn't pay that much either, can you tell ?

Welcome to the board.

WOW! 3 kids under 4, you really do have your hands full. I have 3 kids too, but one's at school and one's at nursery, the other is still breastfed as well and VERY clingy.

I make excuses not to do housework all the time and have found this board great coz I feel embarassed if I come on here and haven't done anything lol, although I don't think I've ever done a whole list yet :rolleyes:

Good luck for next week. I hope it helps you get organised.
