Well I'm here just to start this thing off. Not going to do my list yet as I need to sort out the kids for school and get myself ready. Will be back later. Good morning anyway!

Morning all

Good luck today tortoise

glassslipper · 18/04/2007 07:34

Morning all.

Try this link as Jelley's doesnt seem to work.

Been up since 6am with DD2 but bizarrely I feel ok. I've decided to start making this my wake up time and stop trying to delay until 7 and then be pissed off when it doesnt happen

D/W unloaded, kitchen cleared and we've all had breakfast. About to go and load w/m and clear kitchen.

Wednesday is upstairs day for me so when DD1 is at preschool I'll tidy, hoover & dust everywhere and then work on the bathrooms a la fly.

have a good day all

Jelley · 18/04/2007 07:34

I need a list today, and a regular kick (but not from lycra man) to get me moving today

wash up
hang out (yesterdays)washing
put away(Mondays)clean clothes
re pot tomato seedlings
hoover
15 mins my bedroom
clean fish tank
prep tonights tea

Jelley · 18/04/2007 07:37

Thanks glassslipper.

I agree re the erly start. It's much better to just get used to it and enjoy the occasional lie in(when did 7am get to be a lie in???????) than be stressed at the start of every day.

glitterfairy · 18/04/2007 08:09

Morning glassslipper, jelley and babieseverywhere. I was just thinking that my bathroom mirror could do with a clean!

I was up late as I just had to finish my book and will do a list when I have got the kids to school.

tortoise good luck once more.

shouldbe · 18/04/2007 08:20

Morning
I too have given up on the waiting till 7am to wake up - it's much better if you count it as a treat when/if a lie-in does happen. My two have taken to sleeping till 7.15ish these past couple of days now we're back to school but my body clock still wakes me at 6.15 . Still, I manage to get lots done while the house is quiet so it's not bad really.

~pack lunches done
~unload and re-load dw done
~s&s kitchen done
~td towels done
~wm on done
~make beds done

Will be back with the list for the rest of the day later, and will keep you all up to date with any news from Tortoise

shouldbe · 18/04/2007 08:20

Oh, and I did the whole bathroom yesterday so can skip the mission today

glassslipper · 18/04/2007 08:27

Mind you the clock i bought DD1 had her up at 6.30 rather than 6.00

glassslipper · 18/04/2007 08:29

I have:
emptied all the bins in the house(bin day tomorrow),
S&S'ed our en suite bathroom,
S&S'ed downstairs loo,
taken some stuff from the bottom of the stairs to the top ,
played with DD

Morning Everybody

Just wanted to say a quick good luck to tort I am sure you will have already left to go.

WIll be back later, dirty/noisey napping to calling.

Dunnyjo · 18/04/2007 08:39

Have to join in!

Darn i have been up with the boys since before 7am and all i have done is give there breakfast and made myself cup of tea followed by sitting down to the pc

To be fair i dont know what the plan is for today as i have to go round to my dads and do his iorning for him and some brisk cleaning.

As for my home loads of iorning to do and sort put away clothes.
Tidy bed rooms and do bathrooms. Hmm maybe i should go put the kettle on and think some more

glassslipper · 18/04/2007 08:42

Welcome FloatingLikeALeadBalloon - take a photo of the Easter Bonnet. Pick something off it - a flower or something. Then stick the 'thing' to the photo (so DD knows it was important for you to treasure) and then ditch the bonnet

Tort - good luck. Sorry missed this yesterday.

I'm on a roll today after lots of wagon-falling-off. Have tidied DDs room ready for dust & hoover later. Also brought some washing up from upstairs and put it in the d/w

Jelley · 18/04/2007 08:42

Welcome flybabies I was so tempted to come on to your thread yesterday and tell you to join us Floating. Glad you decided to without me preaching at you.

glassslipper · 18/04/2007 08:45

Jelley - impressed by your restraint

Dunnyjo & FLALB Welcome to the FLY thread

NineUnlikelyTales · 18/04/2007 09:25

Morning!

Glassslipper I am in your 6am club today and don't feel too bad either.
BabiesEverywhere at your daily mirror shining! Mine gets done once a week and then the next day looks just as bad again.
Floating Hi! I saw your lists yesterday but didn't have time to remind you of Fly...welcome
Dunnyjo you are very good, doing things for your dad - is he unwell?

I am off out in half an hour so won't be doing much today (my constant refrain at the moment)

Done
Bathed DS

To do
Basic tidy everywhere
Ring Hotpoint again re washing machine
Clean bathroom

Happy flying
nut

glitterfairy · 18/04/2007 09:26

NineUnlikelyTales · 18/04/2007 09:27

Back from school, so this is my list:

Washing to be hung out
Bathrooms cleaned to fly lady's standard!
Hoover and sweep
Breakfast dishes to be done and general tidy all downstairs.

Most probably will do more as will look at something and think that needs a tidy.
