Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

This is for everyone who wants their life to run more smoothly in 2007.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in and either follow the plan or go with the flow.

As it's not the new year quite yet I will post starters orders tonight before I go to bed along with a working plan. Please don't feel you have to follow the plan but I know some of you find a few suggestions helpful.
Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    :T Well done for starting the new one Moozie, I'm well up for the challenge, and will be trying my little hardest this year, new year is going to be the new me/us. 2007 I am going to make sure I change our lives for the better :T Have been dipping my toes in the water in the last few months and Flylady is something that has really helped.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I'd like to play too!

    I've been lurking for ages and trying to follow FlyLady for the last two or three months - mostly successfully. I'm hoping to move next year, so I REALLY need to get myself into gear and declutter the house.

    Love,

    Mermaid
    You only get one go at life, so grab it where it hurts, shake it hard and get everything out of it you can!

    Please can I join in too? Have been following your previous challenge threads with interest - signed up for Flylady months ago, and enjoy reading her missions - but like the "I will diet and exercise" bits I get no further than the rgood intentions! I will do better all round in 2007....I hope!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Ooh, I'm interested in joining in. As I was so far behind on all the other threads I figured i'd not bother! Ha! No excuse now though, fresh start and all that!

    I need to check the flylady website to understand the ideas but I've been having a good de-clutter of my house this Xmas hol anyway. Took the decs down yesterday and have worked like a beaver all morning. My bathroom has never sparkled so much! I'm sooooo proud! :T
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    Just what I was looking for!:T Been thinking about slightly changing routine and there are sooo many things I need to get on top of again. Tonight I'll be armed with a glass of champagne, tomorrow I'll be armed with my cloth and vinegar spray. :D
    I've made so much difference this year that I really can't wait to see what things will be like after another year! (can still remember my little nephew walking into our house after a 2 day panic cleaning spree and looking totally gobsmacked at our now tidy hall - "woww Auntie you made it all tidy, how did you manage to do that? It's amazing!" - when a 4 yr old notices your house is usually a tip things must be bad!:o )
    So off to pull my routine a bit more into shape and have a bit of a pre New Year tidy up so I can hit the ground running tomorrow (after a couple of paracetamol)
  • Can I join in too?

    I started Flylady a week ago, got to shine my sink (which is still shining!) but then got the flu and haven't been able to keep up. I got really lost on the other thread, but no excuses now! :rotfl:

    Good luck everyone..

  • Hi

    I'd like to join too - I'm an emergent Flybaby - got the sink thing and am now getting dressed to shoes! - but the emails come in telling me to go to bed when I've just got up so I'm losing that bit. This sounds like a great idea.
