Thank you Pigpen for everything :T I do hope you will still be posting, and chucking the odd fluffy mule, if needed We would miss your sense of humour if you disappeared completely.

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO Just when ive found you!!!!

With thanks to your insperation i tackled my a Room Of DOOM yesterday. My kitchen is as spotless as it can be. I even degreased the walls using up old dish washer tablets in hot water (how frugal am I lol)
Only the cooker to do but ive set time aside on wednesday to do that one!!!!


I would offer to help with the thread but i'm a classic procastinator and i doubt my usefulness on anything computer based. I will however give my total support to whoever takes it over.


I said last week that i aim to be a level 1 flyer by christmas so this is week 1 of 9 attempts to complete the jobs list. (its half term, what a week to choose to start lol)

Wish me luck everyone and keep your fingers and toes crossed that i survive.

TFBK xxxx

piggers You have been a wonderful inspiration all year. Take a break. I can't offer to help at the moment, but it would be a tragedy for the thread to go. DH is hopping up and down at the prospect of losing Flying - he is a great fan.

Thank you for running the thread so well, piggers.
TBH I am surprised that you have managed to keep it going for so long, considering everything else you have to deal with.

I would like to add my thanks, too, Pigpen. I would also like to thank those who have volunteered and hope the thread carries on.

Living room huh? Spies out in full force I see!
*rolls eyes*

It would make sense to start with the gerbil cage, actually (it's in there) and work outwards, so to speak.

I also need to do a whole house clean, not least because I lost the weekend! So I shall more-or-less follow all week!

On a positve note, though, there is washing on the line and the laundry situation is far from critical - that's what I managed to keep up with!

And I have a frog list to deal with - let the gulping commence!

Hmm. I wonder whether piggers will be transferring ownership of the spyders? This could be our chance to get rid of them:D

Living room and dining room a tip. Need to clean carpets, but need to clear floors first. Grrrrr. Hall looks brilliant though.

SarahShattered

Just popped in to give the Misses Shattereds their half term jobs lists. Glad I did, or I'd have missed your announcement Piggers. Sorry to hear you're having a rubbish time with your health. Thank you so much for running the thread in the years that I've been a flylady. It's been wonderful knowing that whenever things get a little out of control, I can pop back and resume order in a few days.
I have no chance of being able to help with the thread unfortunately. But if I know the flyladies & gents, they'll be someone supersonic to take up the mantle.
