Measly Monday - Living room, hall, stairs and porch! :D:D:D:D

Quillon all done
I have finished cleaning for the day, except my ironing. I have 13 doors leading off my hall. That is an awful lot of paint work. I think I hate that more than washing the windows

Found it:







hello and you are very welcome to join us on the flylady thread -we are delighted you want to try it.
I hope you will find the following helpful but please dont be afraid to ask anything -no matter how silly it might seem -we have all done it and got the t-shirt!
If you want to get your house ship-shape then you have definately come to the right place!Dont worry if you dont have time to post or read all the thread.
Hope we see more of you!

WELCOME TO THE WEEKLY FLYLADY(AND GENTS) THREAD

1. A new thread starts on a Sunday evening via a link from the current thread so keep a watch out and dive in!
2. Make sure you read the first post carefully as it contains all the info and abbreviations that we use!
3. A new list is added to the 1st post every evening by pigpen -the order changes every week
4. 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!
5. 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!
6. 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.
7. Post what you have done and forget about what you missed. There is no such thing as failure on here!
8. If you want to post a list and strike out what you have done -go 'advanced' (its down at the bottom of the messages) and then highlight the line you want to strike out -press the S with the line through it (its near the end of the list of symbols above your page) and it will say'strike' at each end -when you post your message it will show with a line through it!
9. If you want to answer a particular post then press 'quote' and you will then be able to type a reply. To help keep the thread tidy & short if there is only a small bit of the post that you want to reply to then just delete the bits you dont want but be sure to leave the 'quote' at each end.
10. To put a Christmas Tree in your post so that pigpen adds you to our list on post 2- click 'post reply' -type that you want to be added to list -then on the right hand side below the smilies click on 'more' and you will get a little window with more smilies -you need to go way over to the right hand column to find the christmas tree -click on it and it will appear in your post!
11. 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!
12. To defrag your pc (it appears on the list!) go to Start>>All progs>> Accessories >>System tools >>Disk defragmenter. You should do both C &D discs but 'C' is the important one - the more often you do it the less time it will take.

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

p.s We have a star list(post 3)- if you finish a day's list (levels 1,2 &3) you have to post and say so and you get a star! It has certainly motivated us! toots xx

hello all, what an afternoon.
DD had the class teddy over the weekend for the project "Twm Teddy sees the world". Anyway took pictures of him in front of the Harry Potter house, on the beach, on the sand dunes and in the park. Took him back to school with my camera....Teacher couldn't get the pictures off, so asked me to put them onto a flash drive, never used one before and ended up giving her a blank one!!!!! Have had another attempt and I think I've done it:T

Also new dongle from orange here, phoned 3 to cancel and apparantley you have to give 30 days notice!!!!
Hopefully, Orange will be a better connection. If I can get the 3 one to work, will use it to download some stuff, according to the guy on the phone, I am only using 1gb of my 3gb allowance!!!!

enough waffling, WM x3 on now, TD on and clothes on the airer.
Dinner made for DD and potatoes ready to go with OH's steak later....I had surf and turf earlier and am still stuffed........will catch up with thread now.......

:eek: I was about to go out for a bit.

I just looked out of the window and it is CHUCKING IT DOWN. At least the outside of my windows will be shiny! Speaking of, have any of you used those magnetised window cleaners? The ones that do the outside and inside at the same time? Because we're on the 5th floor we can't open our windows more than about 5 inches, so washing the outside is impossible. I'd love to know if they're any good.

Have managed one of todays HHStudys, need one more.

Anyway, Crafty - the only solution I have to CBA is a **kick** where you need it....... I'll kick you now on the condition that you will kick me when I get home from work??? Deal?
