OS is fab

As a newcomer I just wanted to say how brilliant this site is. I have two boys under 16 months and housework has always been fairly low on my list of priorities. But, inspired by you lovely lot I have bought some Stardops, microfibre cloths and actually used them. I've started following the FlyLady steps and though I'm not flying yet I can manage babysteps. I've just spent 10mins from the sacred 'lunch-time nap' time cleaning my windows with vinegar and water and I'm so impressed. Inspirational stuff - please keep it up.

    My Gosh Littlebean a 16 month gap, you have my understanding but its 18 months between mine and that was hard enough at times. Still keep telling myself this time next year things will get easier.

    I have been coming to this site for a couple of months and I am truely addicted. It really has been life changing. I found tackling one room at a time was easiest for me and now they have all had a good clean and sort through its much easier to stay on top of things.

    The only problem is all the lovely recipies I keep trying out - I think my weight will be the next issue that needs addressing and I was already porky to start with!
