    Hi there, I'd like to join this week too. I did Flylady for a while last year but everything got on top of me again so I really need to get straight. The clutter gets on top of me and if there is too much 'stuff' around I can't dust so it becomes a real mess.

    Here's to 2010 being a year of less clutter-related stress! :beer:
    My List:

    Monday - Living room, hall and stairs
    Level one
    Clear floors of clutter and vacuum them
    Make time for yourself!! Half an hour of peace!/hobbies/SOAADFA - going for a meal with friends on Monday so I'll count this as my half-hour (plus!)
    Level Two
    Wipe sofas
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move.. I don't want any hurt bodies!
    Sort coats and shoes and bags
    Level Three
    Sort out emergency box.. in case of power failures etc.. candles, matches/lighter/torch/batteries and emergency numbers.. plumber, gas, electric, water etc - what a great idea!
    Organise a bookshelf!
    Check smoke alarms
    Extras
    1. Wipe tops of downstairs door frames
    2. Wash any soft furnishing that need it
    3. polish and dust all the electricals!
    4. Binbag dance..

    Anyone remember me :o

    I need to get on top of my house again, big style! Oops!

    Have to go out to Sliming World in the morning (9lbs away from target!) & also need to fit in an hour for my Wii Fit. Not to mention looking after the baby & 2 school runs!

    I'll report back when I get a moment.

    I don't really read all the thread cos I don't get the time, hope that's ok.

    I'm here! I've had a bath and now I've caught up on the 4 pages we've done.

    Thanks to the usual culprits.

    hugs to all

    Hi everyone
    I will try to limit my posts as well, I think some of what I say could be put in PMs, and I'll just post my list when it needs updating (when I need a star!)

    Huge thankyous to HRH, Soappie and Aunty Toots, I don't know where I'd be without the lists and the encouragement of shiny stars.

    Speaking of stars, Toots is it okay for the next few weeks if I do my declutter challenges on the spare room day to get my 5th star?


    Monday - Living room, hall and stairs
