    Hi everyone

    I'm a newbie trying to hit the ground running with flylady. I'm on maternity leave atm, so am at home with my 2 boys who are 2 1/2 and 8 months. I'm going to try and do what I can with the lists, as I reckon anything is better than nothing :rotfl:

    My list for today is

    Monday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Declutter and vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs
    Wipe sticky marks from sofas.

    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    Mop in living room (laminate)

    Level 3
    15 minute hotspot clearance!.. and/or filing
    15 minutes sort of the junk on the landing!
    Check the smoke alarms

    Extras
    HHE
    HHI
    Hello LittleBit; welcome. Here's a tree so that our meeter and greeter Toots will spot you.:o
    :xmastree:

    If my experience is anything to go by, being a Flylady makes housework a whole lot more fun!:D

    hi littlebit :wave: welcome to the club!

    Well i still haven't done upstairs, but i started on the paperwork in the passageway and i have aat least an A4 size spot by the phone :D. Yes we know its bad but at least its clear enough for a notepad!

    So started in the kitchen and now i have three clean work tops, 3 loafs rising, one carrot bread rising and cough for calzones all sorted for tea. So i'm happy but i my knee isn't.
    Nearly fell over my crutch about 10 times.
    So just having a cuppa then cracking on with more stuff.
