Message from toots

She is going into hospital for her treatment this afternoon and will be there for the rest of the week. She has specified NO BALLOONS, CHOCOLATES or anything else! This is all part of her regular treatment regime and as such she does not want any special treatment from us

Thanks for the Toots update, hope she is ok this week in hospital.

Ummm, I'm not a 'proper' flylady person, BUT over on the declutter thread kind Fedupandskint says that flyladies have all sorts of good ways of helping to declutter the house. Mine is in an advanced state of CHAOS, over which OH and I are somewhat at loggerheads at present(all my stuff, not his). I can't get near any flat surfaces to clean them as covered in stuff. Please: where do I find basic flylady decluttering advice ? I do admire you all !!

Hi morgan! Just take it as babysteps, small steps at a time, eg clear a small space, chuck out what you can, give away what you can, make a pile somewhere to put away neatly if you can't find anywhere to tidy it away. Best declutter is to be ruthless with a binbag and put it straight in the dustbin and don't take it back out!

It probably seems a lot to do all at once, it will take time and just take your time and you will get there in the end, it took me ages to get ontop of things - about 4-5mths really, but I got there in the end.

Try the easiest room first if you can to build your confidence up. leave the worst one until last. Which room is the least worst for you? Then just make a start. If you find it hard to set a lot of time aside, try the HHC, which I use to see how much I can do in Half an Hour Challenge and I don't mind if it takes longer than this to finish this. Put some nice music on you enjoy or the radio to get lost in for a while while you try this.

HTH!

Well toots is away, but piggers can usually be relied on to fling the odd mule... and you never know, soappie might just decide to be scary soappie now she's i/c stars!

Anything we can help with, or is it something that can only be resolved with copious amounts of alcohol and chocolate??

ETA - I can't believe Pigpen's using WINTER as an excuse to make us to through coats, bags and shoes again... there is no way she's going to make me reduce my shoe collection, and you simply can't have too many bags or coats! It may feel like winter already, but there's the whole 'summer' holiday to get through first!

Ok thats me back from work and I am knackered! Hope everyone is well I have only had a quick scan through what I have missed. Had a look at Weds tasks and my list is below. A big thanks for my star and hearts - I feel all clever:p

I have facebook requests but I'm not sure if they're flyladies - how do I find out who's who?
Jinky you don't suit your real name but dazco suits his...very creative lol

Tried (with Carlsbergals help) to join in with the FB part but my password isnt working and when I clicked the reset password link I didnt get the email :mad: I dont really used FB and think that maybe I have changed my email address since then so requesting new password is never going to work. Any suggestions greatfully received
