Wednesday FLY - Dusting

[Jelley]

Mission

Baby steps for the new FLYers

Morning, Yet again, I've started two threads by mistake.
Please ignore the other one and hopefully it will disappear.

I don't have ornaments and things but I will dust the tv and clean the computer monitor.

Morning all,

Hurrah - did thorough dusting yesterday. Nice to be ahead of the game.

Major bout of insomnia last night. At midnight i was cleaning out the breadbin . I figured this was slightly irrational so started getting snacks and things together for hospital bag instead.

Finally got to sleep and dd woke at 6.40 grrr.

Parcel to post today so may go xmas tree hunting with DD in town and then lots of rest.

Thanks fort the advice on paoting images Jelley.

Here is my new little man:

Charlie, 1 day old

Sorry about spelling, it's been a rough night!

I'm impressed you're here at all, and posting pics!
He's lovely. Almost makes me broody again.

Pippah - he looks sooo cute! Now go and have a rest

He's so sweet Pippah- congratulations!

I am already dressed and really can't be doing with all that "dressed to lace-up shoes" business so am going to re-shine my sink- it looked so lovely when I came downstairs to pack dd's lunch this morning
I don't have any child-free time today but am sure ds and I can manage a joint effort with a duster in the living room.
Have a good day everyone

OK, so have just admitted on the "depressed" thread that actually am having a bl**dy awful day! Kids wound me up something awful this morning and I'm now booked to see doctor this morning. Feels horrid to be admitting this to such nice new friends like yourselves but I'm hoping that support is partly what we're all here for.....

shouldbedoinghousework dont worry. See what the Dr says and try not to get bogged down with meaningless stuff.

The principle of flylady is that you take babysteps and gradually see an improvement - it wont happen over night. Same applies to real life I reckon.

We're all pretty good listeners here

I know, I know...

I'm just sick of feeling such a failure at the moment

Getting a small grip on the housework yesterday really did help and in many ways it's really not so bad, although a routine and someone just telling me what to do will really help. My main problem lies with all the stuff stashed away in cupboards and the loft etc. And my sheer terror of MIL visit at Xmas !

sbdh.By admitting how you feel,and asking for help,you are not a failure.
Flying will help with the stuff stashed away (one box/cupboard/shelf at a time).

Can't do anything about the MIL though

Going to go and shine my sink...(last nights washing up is still in it)

Hello

What a lovely little baby you have Pippah.

SBDH - don't worry, hope your docotr can help you.

I did my sofa and am about to do the stuff in the living room - don't have ornaments as sucj but will dust anyhow.

I am having a new kitchen put in tomorrow so I will pass on shining a sink which is about to be got rid of!

I had a quick read of the setting a timer for 10mins and doing all different jobs - is this really enoguh to keep on top of things? Do you do it in a whole hour or 10mins here and there?

Thanks for your help so far - am feeling quite positive.

Most jobs we do to a timer. I guess you are thinking of the house blessing (BLEURGH). 10 mins on each job.
Most of us break these down over the week rather than do them all in one day. Some take only one min (mirrors, bins) some longer (change beds)

When you do a clear out ot declutter, you set a time for however long (usually 15 mins) and don't stop til it rings. I'm constantly amazed how much I get done that way, as usually I start tidying, then go upstairs to put something away, then notice something else to do, and never finish the original job!

Morning Ladies

There is some pretty impressive FLYing going on today!!!!!!!
I actually don't need to do much dusting...I did it in preparation for the Christmas decorations!

Ivor...Ah I didn't realise that is where you are!....It sounded horrendous!! Typhoons!???? Its WALES (our weather is shot away !!!!!!!)

Ive done bugger all again.Bad night with DD1 coughing.No cough medicine left and no money to buy any.Oh well should have a bit in the bank soon transfered from Paypal account.Was hoping to buy DC's a few presents with it but it won't go far.
I can't call myself a FLYer.I'm just lazy bum sitting on here half the day.

Baby is gorgeous pip.

shouldbedoinghousework Hope docs went ok.

Nope no honey. don't know if they do prescriptions for cough medicine.
She is ok at the moment so fingers crossed for tonight!!!

Hello. Just to let you know as you've all been v kind- doctors went well, I cried soildly for almost an hour but came away feeling much better for it!

Left ds with a neighbour (at our house) so have come home to an almighty tip but it'll have to wait- a cup of tea and some chocolate come first!

Planning to do nothing much for the rest of the day then start afresh in the morning.

Hope your dc is soon better Tortoise, and that you get a better rest tonight.

Glad the DR's went well.
Have a nice rest for today.
