I'll join you Mrs MP

lampshadebrown - you can either jump straight in here with us as we don't follow the American site or there is a section on the American site about babysteps I think which is a starting point. I'll see if I can find the link for you.
http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-babysteps/ there you go that's the first 31 days.

Morning all

Late start as I treated myself to an hour reading trash in bed. Surprise surprise it is wet here.

Off to clean the sink then for a shower. DS3 at a friends for part of the day. Plan is to eat a couple of frogs, do some laundry and admin stuff. Tomorrow I plan a big sort out with DS1&3. Need to sort out a food shop too.

HELP!

I am new to flylady. I'm going through the flylady website trying to get an understanding of what I need to do however theres so many links to different pages that I am getting confused. Is there anyone who has a beginners guide? Or can explain in steps what I need to do?

Thanks

Welcome this thread is only flylady inspired. Not really anything to do with the US site. Go back to page 1 read Post 1 and click on the link which says Toots guide - that should answer everything.

thanks for the company JJ, how'd you get on?
i baggged and put out 6 loads of magazines, not as bad as it sounds i could only put about 20/25 mags in each bag as they weigh so much.
ive got 16 paper/card recycling bags on the front now.
sorted through the household recycling and bagged that up as well as emptied the kitchen and bathroom bins while i was doing rubbish stuff.
filled a bag with clothes and curtains id thrown down out of the attic they can go CS at the weekend.
need to keep going till 11 now to get the landing and our room vacuumed .

Welcome lampshadebrown; you'll find everything you need on this thread - there's a new thread each week, with daily lists for you to follow, courtesy of Natty and Dusty, or you're free to make your own lists if that suits you better (it's what I and several others do, just coming here for company, friendship and encouragement). As Dusty says, the link to Toots guide on the first page of this thread will explain all.:o

A request - later today, would someone please kick me if I haven't reported my skirt as having been repaired? I know I'm prevaricating because I dislike sewing, and it's something of mine - if it was a garment of Mr LW's it'd have been done ages ago!:o

Toe healing vibes to Pigpen. I feel your pain, having broken one of mine last year while flying although I wasn't carrying a hatchling at the time. Jaw-healing vibes to Skint, the thought of having to start all over again is depressing beyond compare. LW: I can remember how relieved you were last time when you thought you'd found another [STRIKE]sucker[/STRIKE] volunteer.

Frog 'n' chips, Frog on toast, Frog crumble ...

ETA: LW I'll kick your's if you kick mine. Today's tadpole is The Step Plan - appropriate for kicking, I think.

mrs-moneypenny

our room landing and stairs dysoned, all clutter cleared off landing just need to dust the bookcase at top of stairs and wrap DH fathers day pres that on our bed then both those areas are done. also deleted about 100 emails while gulping a coffee down
