Anybody up for a challenge?

I'm taking a break from my Weekly Home Blessing (corny FlyLady term for doing a quick dusting/vacuuming/mopping/sheet-towel-changing pass through the house) and I thought of an idea... Let's do a Cleaning Challenge. Here's how it would work:

Everyone who wants to participate would come up with one task that is often overlooked (but not too hard to do - this has to be fun!) Post your task, and everyone else will try and do that task in their own homes and post when they've completed it. Sound simple enough? And we can give it a week, so we don't have to accomplish everybody's tasks in one day.

Anybody in??

Ok, here's my task:

Take some all-purpose cleaner and wipe down the surfaces of your washer & dryer. This is something I've been doing on a weekly basis, but until recently I hadn't done it at ALL in the 8 years I've lived here

Now somebody challenge me! (and go scrape the lint off the top of your dryer!)

I just noticed mine and there are sticky, greasy little finger prints along with some stuck on food here and there. Gross!

Our kitchen chairs are actually iron lawn furniture with lots of nooks & crannies for things to get stuck in. That'll be a "fun" job!

But I'm up for it!

I've not been on track lately, doing routines that is, just teh normal everyday stuff so the house isn't a pigsty. I need to get back into doing the new habit of hte month and such. I forget though. Need a written reminder on my mirror I guess.

I'm back to flying "my" way, and it ain't working so good, lol. I liked being accountable to someone here.

Shall we post here if we complete the challenge? Or are y'all not into it right now? I can find a different way to get on track/stay on track.

I actually put my FlayLady emails on "special notice" only last week

August 9 2006, 9:43 AM 

because all I was doing was deleting them - I was getting overwhelmed with all of the mail in my inbox and wasn't reading anything even the important stuff, for days on end.

I'm up for a challenge! As long as I feel like doing it, LOL!
