Wednesday Fly - Anti-Procrastination Day - so stop procrastinating and join the Fly ladies and Babies

[TheMadHouse]

Morning All

Today we are adding an inspirational page to our control journals again too American for me

Delete any emails you get from Flylady. I couldn?t cope with the electronic clutter, so I just use the mission and the thread.

So Routines are looking something like

Morning Routine

• Get up and get dressed doing your hair and face
• Looking at your posted reminders in the kitchen and bathroom
• Reading 2 minutes of reminders
• Recognizing the negative voices and changing them
• Put out your Hot Spots for 2 minutes
• 5 Minute Room Rescue (pick any room in the house) set your timer and go!

Before Bed Routine

• Keep your sink shining
• Lay out your clothes for tomorrow
• Put out your Hot Spot

Remember you can set the routines to suit you, but by now you should have a morning and evening routine wrote down and be following it. If you have spare time ? yes I know an oxymoron, it pays to keep decluttering. No point in cleaning clutter.

Also to start getting used to the zone, why not do todays mission

Missions are little 5 to 15 minute jobs to do in the zone of the week. This weeks zone is the bathroomn + 1 additional zone

Morning

Have done
w/m on
d/w empty

thats it!

managed to get ds1 to school with packed lunch and ds2 is asleep (he's got a high temperature again)
I must look pretty bad today as a few mums on the play ground asked if I was ok and 1 even asked if I wanted her to take ds2 for a couple of hours.

I have a friend coming over after school for dinner with her 2 los, think i'll just do jacket pots with beans and cheese (is that ok to serve guests?)

jas went into city after school with boys for dinner yesterday and in M & S they had 20% off all party wear, is that the deal you saw or is it off everything?
greysckull hope the meeting went well.
mad you are great doing the threads and links and all the extras that you are doing, thank you, I purposely came on here to get some inspiration from you to help me get things straight before friend arrives later.
so i am going to set my timer for 15 mins and see what i can do

Tigger - poor you . I can't sleep without dh either. Jacket potatos is fine for tea.

afternoon all

dw unloaded, reloaded and on
some washing put away
bed made

They've sent DS2 with stomach upset. So no work this afternoon. He seems fine and is now asking for custard tarts and fishcakes. Playing with his train. Seems delighted by newly tidy bedroom.

Banked cheques
Bought catfood
Bought some Xmas sweetmeats to stockpile like Turkish Delight, Caramels, Nougat. In fancy boxes.

House seems so much more organized. Still shabby but now not shambolic, just cosy. I'm going to approach Christmas little by little rather than being the SAS. Son is now complaaining about too many messages. Bye.
