Flylady Challenge - Take 3

Punky

Hi Lisa/mrsmh (am big A-HA fan too)

Take a look at this link from the Flylady web page which gives you baby steps to follow and adapt it to suit your circumstances.

tp://flylady.net/pages/begin_babysteps.asp

Like FLYboy/TNG I've found it best to build up a daily routine to include things like Swish & Swipe bathroom, One laundry wash & iron a day, empty/load dishwasher, 15 mins paperwork, sort post etc and then just add an extra job or two from the zone/room you are focusing on that week.

When I'm really overwhelmed I just set the timer for 15 mins and hit a room with all guns blazing!!!

Start small (babysteps) and build up then you'll be a proper FLYlady like our Pen Pen who is amazing!

Good luck. Punky x

Flying in a slightly different direction at the moment. Have abandoned housework and cooked banana bread for NCT group this afternoon, leek and potato soup for DS and inlaws (already demolished) and carrot and orange soup for my lunches this week. Will load and run DW plus second wash in WM & TD then out for the afternoon.

Shout me if there is any new on Michelle.

Almost forgot - KEEP GOING LYNZPOWER!!!!!!

That's very kind of you, Punky! :A I'm not really amazing, I've just loved doing this site, and posting my list means more of it gets done, or I'll have you lot on my tail! I'm not naturally tidy, and a prodigous hoarder, so I still have a long way to go. Freecycling is great for getting rid of stuff, guilt-free.

Lisa, hello! Great to see you here! As Punky says, baby steps. I find the best thing when I'm not feeling too motivated, is to set the timer for 15 mins, do what you can, then stop. I do 3 x 15 min bursts, then 15 mins on here, with a cuppa. That gets me more moticvated, than thinking I have all the kitchen to do.

Dusty, have a great holiday! Hope I haven't missed you!

TNG, I'll have a beer with you, too.

Lynzpower, have you stopped yet? You've done great!

In Michelle's absence, Flylady's task for today is to thoroughly clean your bath or shower. Get it shining! Can't believe I did this this morning, before I even got the e-mail. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Will be Flying properly again on Thursday.
