    Hi I've been lurking a bit and been inspired by you all- I want to give the flylady routine a go :) I don't get much chance to get on here so for now I've printed off the last 4 weeks of "cleaning schedules" and I will follow those -I realise I will be out of sync with you all as far as the rooms are concerned but it means I don't have an excuse that I couldn't get on here to see what i was supposed to be doing! Does that sound ok???

    I looked at the flylady website and saw her idea for the fly kids challenge - have any of you put that into practise? DS is 13 and DD 9, I feel like i need to get them helping more and thought they could earn a bit of pocket money if they did it.

    Would like to subscribe to the thread so I can try and keep fired up - as the thread name changes each week what's the best way to do this?

    Thanks

    donna, welcome :). To keep up with the thread, you could do a forum search for flylady or you will find the link to the new thread at the end of each previous weeks thread.
    I wouldn't worry about printing off 4 weeks worth of list in one go as each set of rooms is covered in each week.

  • Donna, welcome x
    No idea how to subscribe!
    But just hop in. There is no catch up. Just start tomorrow with tomorrow's list. Don't try & do too much when you start.
    Flylady really does work. It might not seen like it at the start. And the half hour clean does work. Just set an alarm on your phone/cooker for 30 mins & off you go. Amazing how much you can get done

    Hi donna I just save the old style board in my favourites, it would be a rare thing for the weekly flylady thread to drop off the first page.

    Valli, really hope not, after sports day (am I thinking correctly?), that would be taking the pee. Just think of the money (hugs)

    Little :wave: for decogecko

    It's really nice having all these new posters and delurkers :) is the thought of Christmas and lots of visitors making us all want to get cleaned up? :p

    Nice and tidy LR now, very early start tomorrow, so will be back in the evening. Night all x

    hello everyone, just popping on to say hi.
    I'm working full time teaching again so I'm afraid the flying is taking a back seat but I have money which is great (am afraid I miss being a house wife though- never thought I would say that!!!!)
    I'm going to post a list but will do what I can
    Monday ~ Lovely Lliving Room, Happy Hall and Safe Stairs
    15 minutes...
    30 minutes to spare..
    Clean windows in these areas, check curtains/nets/blinds while you are there, do they need a clean?
    Dust any areas below eye level
    Got an hour...
    Dust anything above eye level (if safe to do so)
    Wash any soft furnishings in need
    Binbag dance
