  • Have been MIA - no internet, then away, then catching up on fred! I have been lurking and getting up the lists but dot to dotting rather than anything purposeful. House is looking okay on the surface, but there is so much s**t in here that needs clearing - came home to us tonight when we were looking for 2008/09 P60 for hubby - he knew what bag it was it, but could we find the bag? He moved everything in the loft and then found it under the bed (ooops) - at least he is now saying we need to get rid of most of it!! (Thank god)

    Unfortunately we are one of the un-loved by HMRC and they want £735 so we are trying to find the info we need to fight it. Think we have now got it, so hubby just now needs to ring them - wish us luck!

    Am planning on more dot to dotting tomorrow, hopefully clear some of the more surface rubbish.

    Congrats on all the good news, particularly toots new wheels! And there have been an awful lot of injuries and bad news - be careful guys, you are all precious flyladies XX Special hugs for Lady L, may you find the strength you need XX

    Have a good holiday natty68, hopefully you are all prepared - that was a horrendous list!

  • Hi, can I join? :wave:

    I've been jumping on and off the FlyLady wagon for about 8 years now. We had a cleaner for the last few months which was amazing :Dbut unfortunately she went a bit loopy so it's back to me [STRIKE]not[/STRIKE] doing it. :(

    I love the way you've divided the days of the week into zones - I never managed the whole 'blessing your home' time in one chunk, so maybe this way will work for me.

    I'm at home with a 5 year old (not at school yet), 2 year old, 1 year old and increasingly grumpy DH so need all the help I can get :D

    Cheers :)
