1. 1 x load of Laundry
2. Hoover lounge and hallway
2. Put away the weekends laundry
3. Make dinner...hmmm on my own as OH is away working - I think it might be soup!!

Wow. SOOOO many new people joining us recently.
Welcome to you all, hope flylady helps you as much as it has me!!!

I am just about to kick DP up the backside and get hime to sort out the recycling and put the bin out so that is a couple less jobs for me to do later. I might be nice to him and take the dog out later(usually his job later on at night).
Kids eating supper, so they'll be in bed soon. Littlest one is exhausted, almost fell asleep in his cereal twice already.... sooo funny! lol

Anyhoo, need to go find PJs.

WELCOME TO THE WEEKLY FLYLADY(AND GENTS) THREAD

A new thread is starts on a Sunday evening via a link from the current thread so keep a watch out and dive in!

Make sure you read the first post carefully as it contains all the info and abbreviations that we use!

A new list is added to the 1st post every evening by pigpen our illustrious leader and by the weekend you will have been round the whole house.

Dont get stressed with the mess just try to do the list to whatever level you can manage depending on your home circumstances - work, children OH's!!!!

Even if you only manage level 1 everyday when you come back to that room next week you will find it is easier and as time goes on it becomes more manageable and you will see huge differences - I know it sounds impossible but I can vouch for the fact it works!!!

Remember your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy in a day!! Dont try to do the whole house at once - you will tire yourself out and sicken yourself - we have all tried it!! BABYSTEPS - little and often and you will be amazed at the improvement.

POst what you have done and forget about what you missed - there is no such thing as failure on here!!!

Dont worry if you cant keep up with the thread it moves very fast just now - just pop in and post and let everybody know how you are doing!

The support, encouragement and friendship on here is simply THE BEST! ask any questions and we will give you our tuppence worth - sometimes sensible sometimes totally insane!

We dont bite - well most of us dont -have fun!!
WELCOME to the totally bonkers mad house!!!!
toots xx:D
