I would do it for you if I lived closer pigpen, but I aint cheap but we're not allowed to throw stuff out unfortunately, believe you me the amount of junk people have is unbelievable and I've gotta clean under it all, ornaments are the worst! what I would give to be armed with a roll of bin bags and allowed to fling everything first, I'd love it!

I am having my hair combed.. and I am gorgeous apparently.. at least she appreciates my loveliness.. ok.. she is combing out my fleas....

That burst that bubble!

I don't have ornaments.. just junk!!

Tell you what.. come to mine on a busmans holiday.. bring the mini peoples they can entertain mine and not make mess at your house and I'll supply the binbags and you can fling whatever you think needs flinging.. and I'll supply food and tea on tap

Thanks everyone for the tips last week to keep up with this whilst working full time.

I still have a messy house but my oven is clean(ish) for the first time in living memory and I have found out that there is carpet under my 'floordrobe'!!

I had already made a bit of a start on the bathroom after DD made me get up at 7am. So if I carry on with it this evening, I'll be ahead of myself and feeling v. virtuous.:j

The fantastic thing about this Flylady thread is that it is inspiring my hubbie too. He has nearly found the bottom of the ironing pile (not seen since November) and he has put up some storage racks in my kitchen - I only bought them 6 years ago. Hurrah!:D

Thanks PigPen for mixing it up a little. I won't be in for much of the flying this week, but doing the bathroom before disappearing is probably a good thing, as there's nothing worse than coming back to a dusty bathroom. Also, going to attempt to ensure kitchen is shiny and sink empty

Today has been a cooking frenzy. Mind you those strawberry muffins sound good .... anyone for a :coffee: to go with them

Freezer looking healthily full of "ready meals" again And lots of soup, I kinda went overboard on the soup!
