Hi all

I really like the idea behind Flylady, but it didn't work for me. I'm sure I ticked the box for only one email a day but I was getting 27 - many of them really patronising or just plain pointless. So I unsubscribed.

I would love to get one daily email with one housekeeping task to do, minus the extras. Does this service exist?

Penelope_Penguin

It does! Try the Flylady Challenge on here. One of us (happens to be me atm) posts Today's Mission .................should you wish to accept.

HTH, Penny. x

You beat me to it Penny

I'll add this thread onto the end of the challenge thread in a little while.

Thanks, Squeaky, aka FlyGuy! Time you were back there! Is your sink still shiny?
