I'm back. Briefly!
Have stripped both dss beds, picked up lingering laundry as I went, brought it all downstairs and dumped it by washing machine.
So far 2 loads out on the lines and 3rd in now, with at least another 3 loads worth to do. Didn't wash yesterday - we average 3 loads a day, every day, dirty work for 3 adult males though dd and me aren't too dirty generally
Washed all the pots and crockery the wouldn't go in the dishwasher.
Decided to clean around the microwave/breadbin/kettle etc area. Washed up all the necessary bits by hand, then looked up at the cupboards and thought they were rather grimy. Got the step ladder (!) and the e-cloth thing that only needs to be damp, cleaned the fronts and then climbed onto the counter top (!!!) as I could see dust etc, which is where I was when dh came in for something to eat. Says the immortal line 'what the hell are you doing up there?' (well, not making his sarnies, that's for sure.......)
Unfortunately, all the stuff from around the microwave was taking up the space needed on the kitchen table. Groan. Rotten timing.
So dh and ds1 have had lunch and gone out again, but not before an expected visitor came just as food was on the table.
Have unloaded dishwasher, dried one pile of pots etc, one more pile draining atm.
Oh and the electricity meter reader has called, which only happens annually!!!!
For those that can't get on with the Flylady thing, I do sympathise, but I was so glad I was dressed already today! That bit certainly works for me, getting up and getting dressed straightaway, hair done, only minimal makeup anyway, and then anything can happen at least I look passable.
If only all my mornings were so productive. Can have my lunch now!
