    I like the look of this thread, can someone tell me a bit more about what I would have to do...

    I've read a bit of the actual flylady website (actually started it a few years ago, and gave up!) and guess this is following a similar pattern, with jobs to do posted each day?

    Looks like I'm coming in at the end of a week, so next Mon looks like a good place to start (and at level 1!)...

    How do I join and what do I need to post?

    Afternoon, Flyers.

    First of all, Wolfy healing vibes for Rach's gran, for Tris and Michelle, and for anyone else who needs them, either for themselves or for loved ones.
    Lamewolf - pregnant? :rotfl:
    Er... not possible. For one thing, I'm nearly 50, and for another, we've both had out "little operations".:D
    Can menopausal hormone changes give you weird cravings? *insert Confused smilie*

    Interesting list today Pigpen, thank you. I had to substitute a few jobs, but I hope I've done sufficient for a star.:D

    Sort through a box of toys/junk
    No boxes; sorted out ornamental cabinet with D&D figures and origami ornaments in instead.

    Tidy up coats, bags and shoes.. throw away broken umbrellas!
    All tidy; and we have no broken brollies.
    Wash some grubby curtains

    in my HHC

    Washed up the various bits boys had left about
    started DW
    WM on
    put oven cleaner onto start doing its thing
    cleared worktops
    wiped over all surfaces and doors/drawerfronts
    located things that are not kitchen things - playmobil boat & people, assorted tools, bag of rubbish
    opened window to let the nice day in
    and sang loudly to my Donny Osmond album (trip down memory lane to my teens...)

    Moam

    think I might carry on...oohh that huge new plane(whatever sort of thing it is - been told its the A380!) has just gone over - impressively huge! see you in 30,
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Well, the valuer has been and gone, and I will find out next week what the outcome is, and can start dealing with the next stage then.

    I've also finished Friday's jobs.....including getting the cupboard under the stairs clear enough to get the hoover in there, so it no longer has to live in the Kitchen - that on its own is a huge achievement!

    Level One

    Please can I have a star Toots? :j

    That means that my house is probably about as good as it ever has been, clutter and cleanliness wise, for many months.....thank you all for your contribution :T

    You think that's bad? When I first came to live with Mr LW, the lawnmower lived in the kitchen!!:eek: A situation that was very swiftly remedied, you may be sure!:D
