Welcome I have been here about 3 or 4 weeks now and was told that I could never leave I wouldn't want to now anyway, everyone in here is shall we say "special" :rotfl:

Thank you~ It's nice to know that everyone on here is really nice and not the mean ol' nagging housewives that some of the forums I've seen. They all seem to be really really competitive - post pictures of their IMMACULATE HOUSES and say how much money they've spent. It's brilliant to find there are people who know what it's like to be not so immaculate.

Ahem.

To all of you:

You're all so lovely, and I've only been here ten minutes or so! I get the feeling I sharen't be able to leave without at least one of you saying, "NOOO COME BAACK!!!" Thank you for welcoming me, and being so nice, and I hope I can really start to make a dent into this disasterously untidy household. I only work three days a week, so I should - fingers crossed - be able to make a real dent in this mess of a house!

*goes to have a look at the list of things to do on a Thursday and a Friday*

:xmastree:Hope this is right, Toots!

De.Nattom - maybe easier to follow the lists on the 1st page. Just pick up on todays and aim for level 1, if you manage any more WTG you! All the rooms come around again every week so don't worry. Baby steps (ala AnW'sMum!) is the WTG

Hi,

In my HHC i

Showed DS2 how to make snowflakes, he's now making them with Merry the Elf
Tried to let the rabbits out but bashed one of their heads trying to do so, so i put her back in and they can come out later when she's forgiven me.
Washed up
S & S Kitchen
Put washing on airer

I'm going to carry on now until 2.20 and see what i can cross off.

*BOGGLES* Wow, you guys are really quick off the mark aren't you?

This is going to sound really really stupid but what do I do with the Christmas tree?! Do I put it in my post or hang it over my head or play ping-pong with it?

-needs guidence from the mighty FlyLady People!-

Also - I will be posting my list of what I will be doing the next few days about cleaning and tidying in my next post as soon as someone can help me out with my Christmas Tree Dilemma!

Add it to your post then our glorious leader will add you to the list from which there is no escape

muhahahahah

welcome to the thread - read post 1 for info, post 2 for a list of your fellow flyers and post 3 is where we post and boast

(Well Toots does post 3- then we all know how good we are)

It's also possible to upload before and after pic if you really want to feel good about what you have achieved.

Believe you me, we're all special BUT some of us are 'more special' than others and like order

*ducks as flying mule whizzes past ear*
*jumps SMARTLY back into line:)*

Now WHY during my MAD BLITZ have I put everything I didn't want where is WAS in the DINING ROOM which is next on the HIT LIST?
!!!!!! BOTH my vacuum cleaners are in there...

*wanders out to shed to get prop for washing*

Thursday - Bathroom, Loo & Study
Level One
Dejunk pc desk!
Level Two
Wash windows
Level three
Clean the bath/shower/loo's/basins etc
Wipe the cup rings and dust off the desk
Extras

1. Delete 50 unwanted emails
2. Defrag the pc and run a virus scan/spyware scan
3. Find the mythical list of recipes post my mother linked me to by email, but I then deleted
4. MEAL PLAN for the week
5. Do a shopping list

Okay, I think that's more than enough for me for today. Since the bathroom and loo are the same thing (two of my housemates have their own bathrooms) I just handle the main bathroom, not to mention the fact we don't have a study - we all have our own pc areas in our rooms so we all do our own.

And now, I am off to go make a start! Wish me luck!
