    friendly barking mad group of fly ladies, all is explained in first post and we ALL encourage each other.

    Believe me I'm v.v. disorganised but I manage to get a bit done under the watchful eye of Pigpen (whose a little bingbong if you see what I mean) :D

    i'd set my self the first challange of cleaning the whole lot in small sections...

    the most rewarding will be the bathroom as it is small, and takes very little time.... (mostly due to it's size....) which will be a bit of a boost, and helkps the whole flat smell fresher....

    sfter the whole is sorted, then just try to pop into the flylady thread....

  • Thanks for your suggestions guys. I think I'll have a read through the thread that Triker suggested, and maybe start off by doing one small area of the flat at a time

    Be warned, this week's thread is pretty long already, so don't attempt to read the whole thing! Read the first post, and then skip to the end, which is current activity. Good luck!
