Please can I get added onto this? I'm aiming for level one.

Knitty - I've given you a tree so Pigpen and Toots can see you
ETA - Snap Jinky - great minds

Knitty78

I did think I read something about trees and then couldn't find it again so thought I was going slightly mad.

Thank you both for adding it for me. I shall update this evening when I've finished the jobs.

If you're slightly mad Knitty, you're on the right thread!

Need to kick myself onto a HHC - back soon

Well I think I've joined in all the HHCs so far this morning. Still going on the cupboard - fetched my box of photo albums and there were a load of odd photos so have been putting them away and getting rid of a few of the others.

Newbies - good luck and I hope you see a difference by Friday night!

Dailies almost done; going to wrap an ebay parcel and pop to the corner shop as we need bread for lunch.

Darn beaten to it by someone who should be in bed by now!

But did you know that the word is a backronym???????

'One of the members of the FlyLady e-mail list later created a "backronym" for FLY: Finally Loving Yourself'

And on that note I shall away to bed and my book, toots you should have been in bed over an hour ago

Night all xx

so does a backronym (which I have never heard of) mean that the word came first THEN the acronym was created to fit? ETA so it does - I didn't spot the link originally because the sun is shining on the screen (and there m'lud, the defence rests).

Okay I need some ideas - I have an inaccessible cupboard in my LR - what can I keep in it? So far I've thought of photo albums because I rarely look at them. Any more ideas?

Naughty flyladies -fancy telling her to put stuff in it! *slaps wrists of errant flyladies* if the cupboard is inaccessible it it USELESS so...don't use it OTHERWISE you are encouraging yourself to keep clutter. Once all visible clutter is dealt with cupboards etc should be decluttered! (Like am perfect and have unclutteres cupboard BUT in my defence I have decluttered some!

But photo albums and the kids' keepsakes aren't clutter and if I didn't put them in there they'd have to go somewhere where they'd be more visible - so there:p

Valli

that's ok then;)

Another HHC 11:00 to 11:30 anyone? Will have a quick cuppa first to go with 2nd half of breakfast. I'm managing to cross things of my list, but adding new ones at the same rate...
