    Morning everyone! Thanks for the list Dustykitten, I'm in again this week and will try to achieve all the levels where possible. I started my flying earlier this morning when I had to clean up cat vomit!!

    I think this will be my last week of being at home before I start my new full time job. so I really ought to get some of my frog list sorted .... I will commit to sorting out stuff from under the spare room bed. There is a lot of stuff in there so it may take a few days! I also have a few bits of work to do on the PC. So today will be:

    Finish ironing
    Take stuff out from under bed
    Look into doing eb*y (not done it before and don't know where to start with selling!)
    The lists

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Many thanks for the new list!

    Morning all. Am working at the mo, but whilst Lappy fired up, I have tidied living room and conservatory ready for dusting and vaccing. Kitchen was done last night as I'm in a workshop all day tomorrow so flying will be a bit tricky.

    Have a wash to do but not desperate, and still have stuff drying, so will wait till there is room.

    Very grey, dull and wet here today. So far no sign of gales and torrential downpour, but there's time yet!

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    :wave: Hello deus!

    I have only just started eb@ying and have got the bug already. It took me hours to get my first item listed (and if you haven't already got a P@yP@l account it takes even longer), and then it didn't sell the first week, but I relisted and it has gone for the price I was hoping for. Yesterday I managed to list another 5 items in the time it had taken me to do the first one, and already two of these have watchers, so I am hopeful of a bit more cash coming in for stuff that is cluttering up our house. :j

    By 7.45 this morning I had decluttered our two young guests back home (their parents didn't get back until about midnight last night from their first weekend away without children for 10 years) and dropped DH off at work, so I have made a good start to the course materials this morning. :)

    It's pouring with rain so I don't intend to do any washing today, but I will S&S both bathrooms and rescue the ducks that went for a swim with the 8-yo last night (yes, I even persuaded the boys to have a bath or shower!!!), give the living room, hall and stairs a quick going over as per list (still no stair carpet) and can S&S the downstairs cloakroom and hang up all the coats again now that the paint in there is properly dry. Anyone care to join me for a HHC from 9.45?
  • Good Morning!!!!

    I have been away from this for a while (a few years, in fact) and I'm so happy to discover that the Weekly Flylady thread is still here :) Last time I was here I made huge improvements to my home (Thanks!) but things are slipping a little again.

    So, today I have resolved to arm myself with a duster, polish and vacuum and jump back on the Flylady wagon. Here's to a happy, clutter and dust free home :D
