    Morning everyone - Im still on Day 1 of flylady should really make some sort of effort to get started before next weeks list goes up!

    It is absolutely pouring down here - typical August day! x x

    :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I have only done some of the items Penguin....

    :eek: you mean the list changes next week, I thought it would just start again and I could leave out the things that I had done this week that probably could go another week before being done again! * goes to hide in a corner sobbing*
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Hey Sal, it has been doing this anyway, very intermittent. Im gonna phone them this afternoon, Im just a bit reluctant to as its an 0844 number. Ive searched the saynoto0870 and there isnt an alternative number. I think it is maximum of 5p a minute but the last time i was on to them i was on for 30 minutes!!!

    Hey Sammy i think its a bloke thing. I can never find anything, particularly after she has tidied up. It is abloke thing isnt it Mark?

    I think Im gonna try that flylady cleaning thingy starting on Mon to see how it goes trouble is I dont know where any of the cleaning stuff is :D

    Sally, I have to confess I have no idea what happens next week, I have just pinched the list from the oldstyle fly lady thread. I may just venture over and ask the question....i am a weeny bit scared...wish me luck

    If I remember right (and its a long time since I attempted flylady!) it changes every week slightly so people didnt get ahead of themselves and keep guessing at next weeks list! Its never - ending! And the 15 mins ironing today? It will take me that long to find the iron and wrestle with the ironing board!

    Right I'm off to hunt out what I should have done on Monday - mega housework blitz today - well until midday when I am going out!x x

    Try under the sink! Now all you have to do is work out how to open the cupboard with child locks on!:rotfl:

    :eek: Lenny you don't know where the cleaning stuff is...now now I can't believe that of a modern man like yourself :rolleyes:

    Can see why you might be reluctant to call them when it could be an expensive call. Could you phone them and then explain as this is a fault that they call you back?

    The days are the same usually on the fly lady thing and there is a wee bit that says don't worry if you miss something because it'll be back next week! so don't worry if you've not done everything.
    No ironing left here either though and my bedroom is too tidy to have a "hotspot"...really need to sort out DS's though.
    It's tipping it down up here - booo! I wanted to go out for a wee run today, will have to go to the gym instead.

    Morning all, decided to return after a long hiatus. No time for a run today, damnit. In on overtime later.
