    Flylady's very helpful (though I find I get a bit lost if the zone is the front porch :D).

    I really need to do that one about sorting out your bag and purse: mine is always full of receipts. :o

    I dont follow the American one, I use the flylady list over on Old Style. I used to post loads on there but found I spent more time posting and reading than I did doing any actual housework lol.
