From the Flylady siteEntrance Detailed Cleaning List Start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor. Clean cobwebs Dust window sills and front door Clean switch plate of hand prints and walls if needed Put plants in to the shower and give them a good rinse. Let them set there until you are finished. Dust furniture Dust baseboards Straighten the coat closest Sweep vacuum or mop the floor Put back the plants. You would hate for DH to walk into a jungle tomorrow morning. Add your own personal touches to make it more welcoming. Dining Room Detailed Cleaning List Start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor. Clean the cobwebs Dust window sills Clean the window Clean doors of china cabinet after you straighten dishes if they need done. Dust. Clean and straighten any drawer Clean off top of dining table and polish Rinse plants in the shower Dust the bottoms of the chairs. Dust the baseboards Move furniture and vacuum underneath (except the china cabinet). I turned mine over one time. It was not funny. Add your own personal touches to the table (table cloth, pretty bowl, flowers) Front Porch Detailed cleaning Sweep down cobweb and spider webs (In the summer, I leave them. I feed the spiders, too, LOL.) Sweep off porch furniture. Sweep the porch. Throw away any dead plants. Prune back unruly bushes from the entrance. Repot planters if necessary (in summer) Refill bird feeders. Wipe off tables, banisters, and light fixtures. Get rid of unwanted items. Add your own personal touches to welcome friends and family (wreath, welcome mat, bell)

Thanks Medusa for putting the Zones up, I really need to get back into them.
I think I will follow FLYLady's Zones for this month, I had my house divided differently, but it seems so long since I actually did a zone (last year at least lol) everything needs doing.
Entry Way, Dining and Verandah - front entry is tiny and mostly unused, back entry main and messy. Dining Room part of Family Room, 1 window and just a table, Verandah - we have 2, front mostly unused and small, back - mostly used.
This zone seems all over the place in my house, but as I said I will follow this and chip away at all areas.

I know what you mean Shellie, I don't really have an entry way, it is the lounge room So I will work on the front porch and dining room this week. Dining room needs the most work as it is where I do a lot of things and so gets messy really quickly

My front entry is small & doesn’t get used much either. Plenty of dust but no clutter. This week I’m doing my dining room. It’s literally an empty open space with one sideboard in it, a picture on the wall & a double glass sliding door, lol So I'm planning to work on decluttering the sideboard first.
