The Flylady
and you set to work and shine your sink!
and Gosh darn it she has a point...(and a big thank you to the kind blogger who mentioned her and inadvertently started me off! THANK YOU)
next the cooker was attacked..
and then the kitchen floor..then some kitchen reorganization.
Then the Den was the focus for a little attack (more attacking necessary at a later date).
Yesterday was the girls' room's turn... I large sack of trash later, a much cleaner and tidier room emerged. Yippee
Today I began on our room....just one area mind and then 15 minutes on the bath tub (actually this turned out to be longer than 15 minutes more like 45 as I attacked the edge of tub sealer than failed to seal anything other than grime to the tub edge and had depressed me for ages ...who knew that a window ice scraper would be such an effective goo remover..Now I can relax in a nice clean bath ..lovely.
I must admit the three tub system 'Put Away' 'Throw away' 'Give away' is simple and effective.
As is the invaluable advice of just attack manageable amounts of chaos at a time..i.e. One shelf not the whole closet.
And with this weather forecast ..I think some more chaos clearing is on the agenda ....guess who lives in the East part of town..lol
And now I'm off for a soak in the bath and to look for a Good Book :0)
That feeling of satisfaction must be a source of great pleasure and of course justifies the reading of some great literature xxx much love to all xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sis xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteGood for you! The depressing thing about all this cleaning, I find, is that it all needs doing again in next to no time....
ReplyDeleteBut I cleared the dining room table today, and no, I didn't just move everything onto the dresser!
Isn't it nice to see the table...:0) I know what you mean about doing again soon Rachel but if I manage to keep decluttering a little at a time at least they'll be less to keep fighting ...The cats are watching in amazement..the dog just wants to go for a long walk ...but it's -15f (-26c) here so I better wrap up well brrrrrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteAh yes, Fly Lady...mostly the shiny sink is as far as I get, but it does help! Thanks for visiting Planet Penny, it's nice to meet you! x
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too Penny :0)
DeleteI love the Fly Lady. I no longer suffer from Chaos. I have lapses, but oh, it does work, doesn't it! Still can't sign up to the lace up shoes, but it doesn't seem to create a problem for me! Enjoy your bath and book.
ReplyDeleteOff to try and take the flyladies advice for today just charge about for an hour...sounds possible :o) I'm off ...right now
