  • Morning all,

    I don't have a mug tree, but in my cupboards, they have to be lined up with the best mugs (the ones we have most of :rolleyes: ) on the bottom shelf as these are the ones we use most, the two big mugs MUST go on the right at the back, then the rest to the left, lined up with handles facing to the right (coz they stack easier then - there is a method to this! confused-smiley-001.gif) and then another line the same in front, the plates MUST be stacked in order and NOT just put in how you get them out of the dishwasher, the good cutlery (when I say good, I mean the ones I use as opposed to the rest of the stuff in there) has to go on top of the rest and the spoons & forks have to be put facing up so they stack properly and not all 'higgldy piggldly', towels have to be folded and put away in the airing cupboard with the main fold at the front so that all the 'bits' don't show and it looks nice.... oooh, better not go on, you'll think I'm a weirdo.gif

    Do you think I am compensating for the rest of the house being upside down? I think I need a slap.gif and should go hide.gif before they come and lock me up... (**note to self: must stop using the smilies.... takes forever to post now...**)

  • Woo Hoo - no rain. ...... today:rolleyes:

    Aiming to be back on track today, I love my list getting crossed off. (sad, I know) :o

    Valli I tried, I really did, but to be fair, my house needed so much doing, that shining the sink for how many days, and reflecting on how proud I should be that I'm dressed with a shiny sink, really wasn't going to cut it!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    But to be fair, I'm sure it works really well for plenty of flyladies. ;)

    Off to boot children into school.....
