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- Wipe tops of downstairs door frames
- Wash any soft furnishing that need it
- polish and dust all the electricals!
- Binbag dance..

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
Tuesday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining Area
Wednesday ~ Study and Bathroom/loo
Thursday ~ Master Bedroom and Landing
Extras- Clean vacuum innards, pipes and filters.. do not use again until it is all dry!
Level One
[STRIKE]Half an hour of you time.. no star if you don't do it![/STRIKE]
Level Two
Level Three
[STRIKE]HHStudy[/STRIKE]
Extras- Sort the shoes.. I always have dozens of outgrown pairs!
