    I'm in again, thank you for the lists.

    Was messing around at stupid o'clock last night, re making beds, I had stripped them, shoved stuff in WM, but gone to work, and forgotten to remake!

    I also most considered, s*d it, and get in as it was! but OH was not impressed with that idea, and did help me.

    Not too sure how much I will get done from the lists this week yet.

    Valli enjoy your last week at school!

    I'm in this week! I used to have my own similar routine but since I gave up work, it's all gone a bit to pot. I thought I'd see if flylady can straighten me out. I figure it might get the kids to join in during the holidays too!

  • I've read this thread three times so far, each time wondering 'if I join in, will I actually do it?'. My house is in quite a shocking state at the moment - over the last year I've not seen the house as a priority and have allowed the mess to get somewhat out of hand (and the debts - off to the clearing debts board in a moment!).

    Think I will start on Level Two this week and concentrate on spending a little time each day decluttering.

    Todays todo:

    Level One
    Clear and wipe the work tops
    Level Two
    Wipe hob
    Hoover and mop the floor - kitchen

    Plus:

    Clear clutter off of dining room chairsClear clutter off of dining table

    Morning flyfriends

    Thanks for the lists JJ x

    So far his morning I have, coffeed while skimming the end of last weeks thread and thats it. OH and DD still in bed, DS1 out at work, DS2 watching a dvd.

    I'm waiting for SS coming up to sort car insurance he sold his van yesterday and bought a small car. In the last 8 weeks hes had a BMW, a subaru, a tranist van and now this car I'm ready to choke him:mad:

    Yesterday I shampooed the LR carpet its looking great this morning all the oil marks from OH and DS1's boots have come out and I have told them if the come past the front hall with boots on again they will face my wrath.

    Piggers glad your home. I just wouldnt go back but then I'm like that me OH's family know that I only do what suits me:D

    Suppose I should get washed and dressed really then get started...

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I am flying this week after a long break. Hope that is ok!

    Last few weeks my house has been in turmoil but i have functionality again, and now crave cleanliness and order. :). Pacing myself is required. I will be aiming to level one and two this week, and aim to level three next week.

    welcome just marsha, i honestly think once you have a bit of a system and your home starts to look tidier its easier to keep on top of and you will start to feel better about things.
