Done some cleaning, washing out and next lot in, baby sorted and asleep, expressing some milk and then reading my book in a tidy lounge (in silence!!!!!!!!!!)

FLYlady Rules!

Sorry to hear you are not well Capp.

I've done the plastic container cupboard!

Kitchen floor needs cleaning now though coz the toaster is also kept in that cupboard and when I pulled it out crumbs went all over the floor!

Very pleased with myself so far though.

Will try and do 15 mins decluttering a drawer later.

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 11:18

is your timer broken?

DontlookatmeImshy · 05/09/2006 11:42

Morning ladies. Aday late starting this week but never mind.

At 9.30 I checked out the thread and thought 'oooo kitchen zone,i can do that!, it's half way there already what with the shiny sink etc,i'll get stuck in as soon as ds is asleep'

Two hours of screaming later, ds (teething) is finally asleep,ihave a banging headache,temporary(ihope) tinitus and have almost lost the will tolive let alone start flying in my kitchen. Actually what i really feellike doing is throwing a few plates at the wall.Argggghhhh

Sorry for the rant

afternoon all! dp is back to work (although probably not for long as he has a hernia [painful emoticon]) so it's back to the normal routine for me. haven't done anything today yet as ds has been driving me round the bend, but he is asleep now so i'll start decluttering my kitchen and carry on with the laundry. away to do 15 minutes decluttering, then i'll wash the dishes, then i'll do another 15 minutes, and some laundry, then i'll sit down to watch neighbours with a pizza for lunch. then i have to do food shopping!

so if you don't see me online you will know why! happy flying!

mummy2ashton · 05/09/2006 12:24

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 12:29

Maybe you could spend the time doing some nice tunbledrying cappuccino!

tamsino · 05/09/2006 12:47

I dont have a tupperware cupboard. So I have picked up DDs toys and put them in her toyboxes instead :-)

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 12:59

jess

I'm actually still on my sick bed

considering toast

SKYTVADICT · 05/09/2006 13:00

I have also now done 15 mins decluttering in kitchen and conquered a drawer that has been driving us mad for ages!

Got a pile of ironing - do I leave til tonight and just watch tv or watch tv while ironing? Know what I should do

domestickler · 05/09/2006 13:02

I wondered that, are they the same missions for each zone each time?

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 13:11

they can't be

I don't see how a monthly bedroom doorknob polish is necessary

domestickler · 05/09/2006 13:20

cappucino, I fee so sorry for you.

I HATE HATE HATE being sick and have felt sickly myself since Sunday. Im almost a bit phobic of it. Hope your feeling much better soon

mummy2ashton · 05/09/2006 13:27

hope you feel better soon cap!
decluttered my kitchen and put some washing out on the line. dishes are done and kitchen looks all sparkly and clean.

dont have a tupperware cupboard so will have to find something else to sort out, like the crap drawer! lol

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 13:27

you're very kind

Jasnem · 05/09/2006 13:28

I did the tupperware thing (threw away 15 margarine tubs )

I've read and forgotten everything, but sounds like a few are ill/ stressed, so hoping you all manage the shiny sink, then rest.

Need to cook tonights tea, and do my 15 mins de cluttering.

JessaJam · 05/09/2006 13:58

Cappunccino - I spy you shamelessly promoting FLYlady to americans who don't like crunchy clothes .

mummyhill · 05/09/2006 13:58

Arghh another one not doing much flying today as I also have a teething horror. We all need sleep in this house and soon before we start killing each other.
