    I quite like 'Piggers von Schweets' .. but OH said that is silly.

    No, I think thats perfect. Your kids would love you for it too. :)

    Sun is shining through my almost smudge free patio doors. Our study is always a disaster so will tackle that later, along with the bathroom which is not tooo bad.

    I have managed to book the dentist and hospital on the same day in June so need to sort that out. Oh and I must get the finance spreadsheets up to date.

    Paid stuff first. Have a good Wednesday everyone!

    Morning all. Hope everyone is ok today. The sun is shining here. I've been awake since about 3am but stayed in my cosy bed.

    Plan before the paid stuff is 15 minutes catching up on Monday's kitchen list, gym, bath, walk dogs and hoover downstairs.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Hi all :)
    I would like to join please as have just finished de-cluttering my house using the Marie Kondo method. :D But now it looks a bit grubby for want of a better word.
    I am not very organised and do get sidetracked an awful lot.
    So in dire need of motivation and an idea of where to start.

    I think I will try and deep clean one room at a time and also try to keep up (ish) with the weekly lists.
    So does that sound ok to all of the flyers here ?:)

    Will be back later but better get on with some of it as still in my dressing gown drinking tea :eek:

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice

    I'm feeling quite ill after seeing that, Pigpen.

    Ooooohhh Flylady wedding plans. I've never been around for a Flylady wedding. Is it like the Australian School of the Air where we all gather in our own homes at the appointed hour, get dressed up and celebrate virtually? I'd be up for that. And if Flyladies are all marrying their own postmen, do we have to form a Virtual Flylady Guard of Honour for the exit, holding up brown paper packages tied up with string?

    Welcome MavvyMoo! To be honest it sounds like way too much to me and I'd lose heart and give up quite quickly if I tried to do that much. When I started I did the lists for a week and that pretty much transformed the way the house looked. I've been nibbling away at the underlying chaos ever since, but if you've Kondo'd a lot of that has probably already been resolved.

    Must do floors today.
    Better is good enough.

  • Morning (oops afternoon) all,

    Just got back from a nice long dog walk not in the rain for once. Now making lunch, then seeing how much I can shrink my lists until its time to pick up from school. Pigpen yummy yummy, but I think I'd rather have honey on mine.
    mavvymoo welcome, and I agree with Honey Bear that this sound too much. I've just started with the flying again and you need to start smaller. X
