Hi, please can you tell me how to use this Flylady thread to get motivated and get into a good cleaning routine. Do I need to come on here every day? Is there a cleaning routine that I can print off related to Flylady as I never stick to mine, probably as my lists are too unrealistic!

Thanks

Its not been a very productive day today although I don't feel that I have stopped all day. Today I had a trip into town to look for a spice rack so that I can get my kitchen cupboards organised however I was unable to find anything suitable. I also managed to get HH ironing done and the clothes have been put away. Although I didn't get much done DH managed to clear and clean the table and he also sorted through the fridge and got rid of food that was out of date then made dinner tonight to use up things.

Welcome

Re-read post #1 in full and click on the Toots welcome link, about half way down. Once you've read both of those all should be clear. If not please ask what you like. Post/visit as often as you like.

Just been out in the car with DS1 driving for the first time, he said I was calmer than he thought I'd be.

Not much flying done today but there is always another day, some days, with some news it just doesn't seem that important.

Congrats Ionafan - really pleased for you:j:j:j


Totally nailed Killer Kitchen today and also washed and dried 4 loads of washing, feeling rather smug :D

bossymoo

Ugh, just woke shaking from odd dream. Checked phone and got school offer for DS, first choice:T

Dustykitten

Bossy hope you got back to sleep ok. Great news on DS's school place.

Up early as I awoke and my shoulder was a bit sore so going to have a cup of tea and get the packed lunches done and make a plan for today.

I have a friend coming for lunch today.

DH did two loads of washing last night. (Faints). I need to put it on the line.

I did another cake course last night. Great to learn new techniques but I was so wired last night I couldn't sleep.

AF has arrived. Not seen her since mid December. Ironic as I have recently booked to see the dr to get hormone levels checked.

Good day vibes for everyone.
