    They were rather spectacular, I must admit. And having a whole group of them marching down the high street in not just kilts but stetsons too was really fab!

    Well done Mrs B on all your ironing and washing! That's amazing!

    what she said ^^^^Mrs Beatson - WELL DONE

    re the lists early - as a person who usually does all hers in two or three days (ie Thursday/Friday and maybe Saturday) I personally see NOTHING wrong in Flying when you can...

    I think the idea of this is

    a different system than US flylady was agreed on
    Flyladies are often at home, alone so need some moral support and sometimes 'encouragement' to do the more challenging tasks

    (for more challenging read leaving what we don't like doing till the end - or NOT doing it at all. For many flyladies this seems to be ironing).

    I might be wrong but that's the way I see this thread...

    Good evening all -

    Many apologies for the long period of absence. Suffice to say that I missed you all... and my flat certainly missed you too!

    Can I quietly shuffle in and take a seat?

    :xmastree:

    Can I 'officially' join in?

    I've been following the lists in a hit and miss fashion for the past couple of weeks, but now ready to take up the challenge.

    Trying really hard to get back on top of things since having a baby 4 months ago and with a 4 year old as well it's currently chaos!!

    I've previously followed the Flylady, but found the emails completely overwhelming.

    Planning to ease into it...

    Magnificent Monday ~ Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One

    Declutter the guff and put it where it belongs!
    Empty bins etc
    Extras
    1. Update spreadsheets/meal plans etc.. :D
    2. HHI
    3. 15 minutes filing/shredding
    4. Binbag dance!
    Plus my dailies.

    Cheers
    D.
