    Thanks for all your work Pigpen, I'm relatively new (joined the thread in June) and although my house is still a crap heap, it is much less crappy thanks to the motivation and direction this thread has given me.

    I can really relate to your situation as the main reason my house got into the state is is because I had SPD and couldn't do much for months and practically nothing for even longer. With no help from anywhere else either. I hope someone else can help the thread, but it won't be the same without you. :(

    ANNOUNCEMENT..

    I need to hand over the thread to a willing party.. I am busy and cant do everything.. though I do try! Housework hasnt been done in here for 2 years so I feel a complete hypocrite running the thread when I live in a pit!

    Anyway... would anyone like to take over? If it would help there is a username which has only been used to do the thread so a few people could jobshare?

    I can do next week but that will be the last one I am doing.. if noone takes over I am afraid the thread will cease to be which would be sad as I has been going a very long time now.

    Thanks all for playing along over the last 3 years I have really enjoyed doing the weekly lists but there just arent enough hours in the day now.

    Love you all lots..

    Pigpen

    Pigpen~~ you have done laods for this thread and I thank you for my house being so organised and tidy!!

    I am happy to 'jobshare' with dusty if you want, bearing in mind I am normally 'missing' for the whole of December and 2 weeks of Jan, if that would help for a short time on a temporary basis.

    Other wise I am in again this week.

    So far
    Bath cleaned
    Floors done

    Morning All

    You've got way too much on piggers and should have given it up ages ago. How about if me, kaz and dusty do it for now and then if some of the newer posters want to join in later they can do?

    Half term and the house is a pigsty. I've got the dentist with DD this morning and then Beavers and Cubs tonight so hopefully I'll get some stuff done this afternoon.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hello, in again. Didn't get bathroom done Friday as had a busy day and weekend, so it's a pit still. Busy afternoon, so need to get as much done as possible this morning.

    Pigpen I'm happy to help with the thread. A user that's just for creating the lists and a "committee" of sorts who takes it in turns to post weekly seems like a good idea. Thank you for everything! I've only been back a week and really feeling the difference already so I'd hate for it to vanish :(

    Level One

    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors

    Clear and wipe window sills, and any electricals and picture frames etc[/STRIKE]

    I'm in again.

    I wouldn't mind helping out on job share basis. I would really miss this thread and it's support. I'm not a perfect flylady by any means but I try hard. Thanks Pigpen for your hard work.

    DS2 is still in bed (unheard of at this hour) as we went to see an Evening with Magicians at the theatre last night and got home late. I was brave enough to take the car and drove through the city centre.

    Off to find listy and stick never ending laundry on.

  • Morning Gang,
    had a look at the thread a little while ago as I really want to get some cleaning done during half term. Have come back to post as a commitment to doing the work.

    Will report back this evening.

    Best wishes to all

    Piggers you have done a wonderful job :D

    I too would hate to see the thread go, the support on here has been amazing for me personally.

    I don't contribute much these days due to lack of "flying" but I do lurk ;) so if folks don't mind a "non-flyer" helping out I'm happy to do it alongside .. Dusty, Jue & Kaz if you want some of the "oldies" :p
