Brand New FLYbabies - Shine your sink.... NOW!

Right, so the new group of baby steppers begins.

Start with babysteps I am thinking we all need to have done up to babystep 7 by the end of the week. If you want to do more than one in a day, then feel free, but don't level up as it were (DH plays online games ) until we are all there!!!

If you are feeling all confident and enthusiastic, then do Kelly's Mission for the day too.

Mission for the day

Have fun! I've gotta work for a couple of hours, then I'll come back and update on my progress

{grin} well done both of you.

  1. Lay out your clothes for tomorrow - not done yet but will
  2. Take a few minutes for yourself - MN and a cuppa as we speak.
  3. Check your Calendar for Tomorrow's Events - done
  4. Spend 2 minutes clearing off your Hot Spots - will take something up from bottom of stairs when I go.
  5. Shine your sink - shiny!
  6. Wash your face, moisturize, brush your teeth and floss - will try
  7. Go to bed at a decent hour - erm, ok

Its just you n me ... I did warn you

Your mission (only if you choose to accept it)

Think now - do you need to take out something to defrost for dinner? Go do it...

Swish n swipe kitchen & bathroom.

Drink some water!!!

Yup - there is the main one for all stages of FLYing, and there is one for babysteppers that is on week 2 I think... a couple of us missed the start of that one though so we decided to do a new starting out one. We'll probably all end up merging into the main one at some point.

I'm on all three too, but nosey is the word I think would be used to describe me

I have a shiny sink. loaded d/w, and i know what we are having for dinner.

I'll go and do the bathroom in a bit too.

TheMaskedPoster · 16/05/2007 10:50

Right
Back now and have swished and wiped my little heart out, also done the hoovering, a load of washing, all the dishes AND shined my sink and rubbish bin lid!

I am now going to read some of my book (with a glass of water ) as my reading time seems to be decreasing!

... after that, I am going to come back on MN and perhaps read all of the FLY threads, and be on the road to becoming a fully fledged FLY-nerd!

How is everyone else doing?

Masked poster, you seem to be doing a pretty good job, yourself

Jelley · 16/05/2007 10:53

Aloveheart, I double post so often, I have stopped apologising for it now. I love it when someone else does it

lmao Jas!!

Don't be in awe of me... I'm just writin the reminder emails - if I was doing all the stuff it would be a different matter.

Spend 15 mins in one of the rooms in the zone.

Off to swish swipe and possibly blow up my bathroom.

Mopped my downstairs floors which I class as my 15 minute hotspot.

sorkycake · 16/05/2007 13:11

We had the LA visiting today so my house is very clean (on the surface).
My medicine cupboard is in the kitchen not the bathroom, will I be frowned upon if i do it today d'ya think?
Visit went well and we've been given the okay to home ed, yeehaw! Not that they can stop us really but,... you know what I mean.
Dh truly pulled his weight this morning, very pleased. Dinner is in the fridge ready to cook tonight. Have run out of washing powder and I've got nappies a-waiting so might venture to the shops later.

clutteredup · 16/05/2007 14:58

Well done you lot, i bet your houses are beginning to gleam. dh mussed up my shiny sink last night after i went to bed - lucky for him he's not now home till tomorrow - what does flylady recommend in these circumstances - do i kill him on his return or something more extreme?!lol(i think~) i blame him entirely for failing to do a thing today so far, oh i did manage something for myself- had to get fil's present from john lewis this am so decided i just had to have latte and scone in cafe whilst feeding dd2, and couldn't resist 1/2 price offer in whsmith on the toblrerones - hadn't had breakfast , haven't got the flylady bit on morning routine yet - consider myself to have failed on all accounts 2day and am working 2night so not much chance of catching up 2day. good luck the rest of you xxx
