housework

Yeah, I'm still slack at it :P This morning however, I tidied up the miscellaneous dvd's and videos that looked messy. Most of my dvd's and videos have a home, but these are either copied movies, ones I dont like enough to add to the collection, or documentaries that dont 'fit' with 'movies' or on the shelf. Now the extraneous docos are sitting on top of the dvd player, in company order (ABC, BBC, Readers Digest and Time Life) What can I say? I'm a bit anal about these things.

Of a morning I have been getting up and MAKING the bed. Sometimes if I've been overly hot in ned I flip it back until I have been to the loo, but I still make it. Last night I got back up at 10pm to fuffle around a bit until I was properly tired, and had to make it again. Couldn't leave it. Not sure if this is a good thing or not.




The new picture helps. Must find the one by Maia and hang that.

After looking through the Fly Lady's site, I have picked and chosen things that suit ME. Keeping the sink clean and tidy is one of them. A couple of weeks ago the Facebook page gave us a link to the Fly Lady calender. I added that to my Windows Calender, and then worked out how to import that into the Google calender, for which I have a gadget in the side bar. This tells me at a glance when I could be doing inside of sitting here being bored waiting for someone to start chatting. Today we are still in the Kitchen. Tomorrow is Bathroom and another room. I might make that the Laundry..at least until I get brave enough to get into the spare room.

Then at the start of this week, there were Missions. I've made these tasks for the Google calender. One was to clean the taps. Another was to deal with the rubbish bins. The bin one was on the wrong day for me, Monday vs Friday. But I could have switched them over. Happily, when you have completed tasks the calender lets you tick them off! (I want to get a bottle of bleach and actually fill the bin up with water and some bleach every Friday now.)

As a result of this, I am actually looking forward to seeing what next weeks missions are!

As she says...baby steps. For now I am pleased enough that I make the bed when I get up, and shine my sink before bed.

Ooh...pictures of someone elses mess. And you know, reading everyones little stories on the Facebook page...my place isn't as bad as I thought! or at least...I'm not the only one.

I'll get there. :)
