Hi, Lou!

Stardrops is a cleaning fluid, sworn by for many Old Stylers, along with Microfibre Cloths.

Take a look here: Stardrops....I've seen the light!

good to see this back on the first page. I couldn't find it over the weekend.

right - now my maternity leave has started, i need to get on with this with a venegance. DOesn't help that my hot tap in the kitchen has seized up, and DH hasn't had time to fix it.

Plans for today:
1) do 3 hours of school work
2) do ironing
3) put one load through WM (baby clothes)
4) wait in for desk being delivered.
5) get DH to assemble desk, and bring computer downstairs.
6) move some of wedding presents downstairs
7) get chilli cooked
8) make an audit of toiletries we have in the cupboard
9) organise toiletries
10) put away washing up/try to clean sink and draining board.

my aimis for 10 jobs a day, that can hopefully be spread out throughout the day so i don't get too shattered. Best be making a start.

Michelle, xx

Afternoon.

Going well here:kitchen done, family room done, hallway done, toilet done, bathroom done.

Just living room and OH office to do. Also done most of my emails and library books to return.

Today I really feel that flylady has now finally made a difference to all of my household tasks. I feel more on top of things and as long as you stick to it it really does work. Things seem to get done quicker the hot spots are stopped when they are little and you never worry what state the loo is in if someone pops in.

Thanks to all of those who post, I've gained lots of great tips and contributing and reading the thread has really helped on those days when I've felt ' oh s*d it'. If you read this thread but don't post believe me it does work.
