    This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge... ) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............To put together a household manual with phone numbers for insurance, drains people, power companies as well as positions of stop cocks ect in the house.
    Sanity is the playground of the unimaginative!

    Misty Blue...that's the plan. Although I never seem to manage it :rotfl:
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    welcome misty - just decide what level you want to go for each day, best to start with level 1 or 2. Often i only intend to do level 2 but get carried away and end up doing up to level 3

    :xmastree: I'd like to join in, if that's ok. :)

    Can I just check I'm understanding correctly, though? Those are the suggested tasks for Monday? So tomorrow I would start at Level 1, and if/when that was complete, move to level 2, and if I completed that I would start level 3?

    Or have I totally got the wrong idea? :o

    Hi Misty Blue and welcome to the madhouse. It's fun here and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Yep start with Level 1 and then do Level 2 etc if you want to. Don't knock yourself out though as all the rooms come around again next week.

    Hi Misty

    That's fine or you can just choose a couple of things from any of the levels. Maybe choose something that really needs doing and something that will only take you a few minutes.
