Weekly Flylady Thread 5th June 2017

Can I join in please? I need to try and get myself into a good routine with the tidying and cleaning and do a bit each day rather than spending one day at the weekend frantically running around trying to clean a whole house.

Welcome LoLo! :wave: You're absolutely right - little and often is much more effective than leaving it all for the weekend.

Still running to catch up here, but we're managing to stay on top of bins, bed changing, laundry and washing up, so that's a start. Will run the stick cleaner around the sitting and dining room before I got to the dentist this afternoon but I fear that's all I'll manage today.

(((hugs))) all round to Flyladies coping with stress. Good on you for taking action to put a stop to it, rather than trying to soldier on trying to cope.

Sounds like it's dentist day today as DD and I have just come back from them as well. Been told I've got to keep cleaning a wisdom tooth really well otherwise it'll need filling.

Tidied up morning gibble upstairs, s&s'd bathroom and made a rain gauge with DD, plus top up food shopping so far. Going to sort out washing and washing up next.

Hi girls and a warm welcome Lolo :wave:

I have been a busy flylady today. I've gutted the boys' room, sorted toys, folded clothes, changed their beds and made it smell nice. I am inordinately proud. Yes, I know today was the kitchen, but I'm only halfway through that.

WM on and TD too as it is pouring down, but guess what!? The new underground drainage system is working!!! No standing water or ingress into the kitchen. At last! :j Needed some rain to test it out. Yippee! Just need to get the flood wall built and I may well have a dry island in the monsoon season .

Good luck with your guests Kaz - six weeks is a long time. Sounds like your pad is spotless though!

Waiting for Small at Karate and Tiny has nodded off, which is good as he's been rather trying today. Had to scrape him off at preschool this morning and he's been grumpy all afternoon. Ho-hum, what's new?

Got an hour of ironing in too, while it was raining, then had an unexpected site meeting as my builder missed me while I was away last week. Apparently DH isn't as organised or knowledgeable as me :rotfl:

Soda blasting planned in the middle room this evening, if the crucible doesn't clog up with moisture.

Laters x

Still very wet here. Littlies both in bed so I'm just having a cuppa and some cereal before I go finish the kitchen. DW has been on, just a few cups to sort.

I won't be mopping tonight though!

Got back from airport in time for the school run - just - traffic heavier than expected. Ah well. Dad gave me a birthday card too, and I his Father's Day card since they are away for a month. He also said he'll check out different hire cars and kiddie seats while they are out there for when we go. I said I'd sort airport parking.

Popped into cheapy shop for loo rolls earlier, and they had sachets of our favourite once-a-day sunscreen. Looks like enough to cover the three of us in each, and would save me decanting into small bottles, as we are only taking carry-on luggage.

Early night for me tonight - Mr A shop coming first thing!
