Just registered on the flylady site myself, need some inspiration to continue the sorting out I have started, got the finances more or less sorted now, it's just the house which is saying ARGH!!! every day. I've started making myself a daily targets book and a chores check list but I think this flylady way just might do the trick.
I'm a horder, well I was, but I am starting to get there with it, full time Mum and unable to work currently because of medical reasons, most of my housework I have to get done during the day when the children are at school as I have a son with special needs who is sensitive to smells and sounds involved with a lot of cleaning tasks like hoovers, cleaning products, etc.One day I might be more organised...........

Thanks for the welcome, trust it to start with the sink when I have a really horrid large dish to clean with extreme burnt on food on it (my fault for burning it I suppose) well off I go, it's time to get that sparkly sink!!
EDIT THAT BIT IT'S DONE - Inc the messy pan and the paint on the sink after just cleaning all the brushes and rollers from decorating. Found a brillio pad loitering in the cupboard which made it much easier.
Timer - am I missing something I will need or does that come along later in the emails. http://html_help4u.tripod.com/javatime.html That online timer might helpcan be changed to counting down or up.
One day I might be more organised...........

I've tided up the livingroom while DD was typing up a to-do list for this weekend, which includes Flylady tasks which she can do herself :j Then OH did a big batch of dishes for me. It was just one of those jobs I couldn't bring myself to do
He's still left some, so unless he does them tomorrow morning I'll see if I can bring myself to do them
Otherwise I'm going to spend the day trying to remember what they do/don't sell in Aldi as I'm switching my main shop to there :rotfl:
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0
