    Thanks Pigpen, Toots and Soapie for starting the thread.

    I’ve spent some time today reading through last weeks thread and I’d like to join in this week, if you’ll have me.

    Over the last year or so it feels like we’ve been living in disorganised chaos. :o My avoidance techniques are legendary and I seem to lurch from one job in the house to another without really getting anywhere, so I decided to take the bull by the horns and after six years of working Mon – Fri evenings I’ve reduced my hours at work so that I am going only going to be doing alternate weekends. :j This means that as well as bringing some order back to family life I’m going to have a bit more time on my hands to try to lick this disaster area into shape.

    I haven’t followed flylady before so I’m looking forward to getting to know you all and hope you’ll help me to keep on track.

    Quick question - has anyone who sent off the Mirror lego had their cheque cashed yet? Mine hasn't been cashed so was just wondering.

    I've just put a washing load in to make a start for tomorrow xx

    Valli, If you saw my house right now I think you'd be the one giving me orders. :o:D

    Just a quick question...do you list what you plan to do off the main list and any extras each day? Or do you make one list and add to it each day? I really am a newbie aren't I....not only do I not know how to keep my house in order I don't even know how to post. :o

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
