Flylady Challenge - Take 4

TNG

Hello my Flybabes :hello: :happyhear

Hope we're all fabulous

Had a good flying day today, but now too knackered to put up my list

Still got IPH and clothes mountain to do. I'll wait for the kids to go to bed, I think

Drink anyone?

If I open a bottle now, will that stop anyone asking me how I got on with the sewing challenge?

Can I pretend that my cutting out table is really there so I can use it as a present wrapping table?

Only answers in the affirmative will be accepted by the adjudicators.

Hi All,

Can I join? Have just found the flylady website and joined. Got my first email and all I had to do today was shine my sink, so i have just done that and put my dishcloth into soak in bleach!!

Can't wait to find out what I am supposed to do tomorrow. Am going to do my usual cleaning and tidying chores as well (small as they are!!) until I get into these new routines. Can't wait to chat to you all more.

Am just getting into the OS swing at the minute, got my first bottle of stardrops and my first microfibre cloth yesterday and I love both already!

Also had a load of veggies on the turn, so I bought some stewing steak and made a huge stew in my slow cooker. Enough for dinner tonight and 4 portions in the freezer, ready for next time I can't be bothered to cook!!
