    Hello everyone, a flylady newbie here :hello:. I struggle with keeping on top of the house, although have got better over the years with basics like clearing any used cups etc away at end of day. I have picked up 2 new habits so far this year - clearing the draining board on a daily basis and putting my clothes away. But lots more to learn - babysteps! I hope to follow regularly, but currently work full time and have a DD to run around after, so not much time to do so.

    no snow here but have shaken off the sand from the shoes following our walk on the beach yesterday. It's great to live so near the beach, but we are constantly fighting a battle against sand in the house!

  • Afternoon All,

    I am new to this flying but with the arrival of my little one I need to get the housework into some kind of routine - now I can't do that at minute as we are still hit and miss with feeds but I wanted to make a start :)

    Spent HH me time reading thro' posts and oh what a range of emotions - from laughter to serious concern! Thinking of you all.
    No flying yet - I couldn't find some very important paperwork which was needed for lunch time and....... yes I've found it :j but I've been thro' every nook and cranny in the house and I've set myself back about 3 weeks flying time. Will try and catch up.

    Glad you slept when Ben slept Seafarers - it's really important. Lovely thing to do too isn't it! I still love snuggling up with the kids now if they want a daytime nap .... but I am always glad to grab a nap whenever I can.

    Sold a book on Amazon this afternoon and got rid of an old potty and toilet training seat so decluttering a bit too. Only got my ironing to do tonight and clean the kitchen floor and then the list is complete. Oh, and got to do my Maths homework ready for tomorrow, how could I forget ;)!
