This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

Hi Ladies

Ummmm Im new (please be kind!) Ok, things in our house are pretty dire at the moment! Lol

Have just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and at the moment my hands are REALLY bad! Trying very hard to adapt to new ways of doing things, like did you know you can vacuum whilst sitting on the sofa?! lol

Anyway although I am going to join you ladies there may be some things I cant really do some days. Like tomorrow I could vacuum the living room but cant do the stairs as I cant hold the vacuum whilst going up. I can however do somethings from level 2.

Can I still join you and kind of pick n mix what I do?
