    I don't have an ironing basket.. because I iron.. nothing.. not a single item.. if it needs ironing.. I don't buy it.. simple as!!

    I got another large box of christmas stuff from boots today so I have everyone sorted except for stocking fillers.. then I can start on the family presents!

    Watching Wolverine tonight.. and district 9 if I have time and don't fall asleep which, knowing me is most likely!

    I'll do the list in a tic.. just needs to slap some small girls

    But I take SUCH pleasure in having beautifully ironed stuff..

    Now - drying and putting away the washed dishes IS A WASTE OF TIME
    (but I does it cos I is a good lil flylady, me!)

    OOh Jinky's thread's got me all wound up - I have been quite blunt and shouty with that OP! Needs must I feel in this case.

    I am reading it at the moment. If she wants advice why is she defending him so much? I will finish reading before I make up my mind too much.

    this is not a competition - there is no prize except feeling good that you are starting a new year with an empty basket - try to encourage each other - we all want to succeed :D
    dont wait until the week (or day:eek:) before to get started - try to do a little bit as often as you can.

    Until it is cooked.. :confused:.. it depends on the size of the hunks of meat and veg... I decide it is done when the bits of carrot and spud are done... usually that means there is very little left in the pan lol
