When you want to make a post go down to the bottom click "go advanced" the click the "more" button next to the smiles and you'll get window of lots more!

:xmastree:Can I join in? I did do this last summer, but my natural urge to lounge around wasting the day away on the PC kind of took over:D

Anyway, need a bit of moral support to get up and running again, so please count me in for the coming week:)

Thanks rach - my mortgage is with Nationwide, so it'll either be them (they don't do too badly ethically) or the coop/smile, but its the mechanics of moving that have stopped me so far!

If you keep your meter readings up todate (you can do this through the website), they should be able to adjust your DD to keep it pretty accurate (hence the reason mine has gone down when everyone else's has gone up... I do weekly readings which drives them nuts )

Welcome oldMcdonald too

WORD OF WARNING -dont try to keep up with the thread or you will get nothing done!!!! And pigpen our illustrious leader has a very good aim with her new pink fluffy mules if she catches you slacking!!!:rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:

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
