  • Hi all

    Can I join you too please? I've never joined a forum before but this sounds like the sort of thing I need at the moment! I am determined to get more organised this year so that I can enjoy much more quality time with my family.

    I try and meal plan and use the flylady system but I keep falling off the wagon!! Let's hope we can all keep each other going with this!

    Can I join too?

    The last couple of months have been spent pottering about the place decluttering, but there's still plenty to do.

    I have made an effort to use my calendar and diary 'properly' too - not just looking at them and thinking they look nice! It's starting to make a difference. I also dip in and out of the Flylady system, but don't follow it regularly enough for it to make a big difference.

    I am a SAHM with two children, DD 8 and DS almost 4 - I also do some typing work at home from time to time. OH works very long hours, so a lot of what goes on at home is down to me...if I could just work on being more organised I think things would run much more smoothly.

    Morning everyone :)

    so does anyone have any plans for organising today?

    I will:
    -take all of the recycling to the recycling bank. I have 2 bin bags of it, and its been sat there for ages, so i am going to do it today

    -Clean the bathroom from top to bottom (its a tiny bathroom, so not a huge job).

    No going to overdo it on the first day, s 2 things is enough :)

  • Please add me!!! I have a full time job but work from home - 2 children (7&9), husband and two cats.

    I love being organised but find I go off track quickly. I'd love to share tips.
  • I really wish I had a utility room, every morning I walk downstairs to clothes drying on radiators :( Hurry up summer!
