Roll up, roll up. tis the month of school fetes, sports days and annual reports. In all this flurry of extra activities and with the summer holidays hurtling towards us at rapid speed, now is the time to tame the chaos before our very special chaos creators are able to help us. Fully intending to beat the Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome so that my personal chaos creator can be occupied by others this holiday. Good luck to all to are also striving to achieve this.
Starting from the 1st of the month we shall be fluttering our way to tamed houses. If you are new to the system it is recommend that you focus on making the babysteps your main focus. The babysteps will build up to form routines to help you to stay on top of the house once you have discovered it. First step is to shine your sink. But not just half heartidly, deep clean til it shines Instructions here
For the more established flyer we then progress onto decluttering. 15mins each day in alloted zone of the week. New zones each week. and current zones and decluttering instructions can be found here Zones will automatically update for July.
As for the advanced flyer, there are missions to do each day in the current zone
We have one rule we are NOT perfectionists anything is better then nothing, real life gets in the way and we have to do other stuff other then cleaning (put it on your list, tick it off and :) ), besides the fat fairy's moto is "You are never behind"
As such take the vomit inducing cuteness of the website with a pinch of salt, and join us for wish lists formally to do lists , ta da lists and home bleurghs. 
See you bright and early tomo although hopefully not too bright and early.
Find cleaning advice from other Mumsnetters on our Housekeeping forum.

Just checking in to say I am still FLYing and still following the threads, but I'm not posting much because I can't keep up with all the personal stuff and I don't want to offend people by missing them out. However, I am here!
Here's to a tidy and organised July 
janey it really doesn't matter if you don't do personals at all on this thread. I think we are all just happy hearing about other people's lives, and how they get through the day in whatever fashion. SC sets a very high standard of TLC, but in the end the thread is here for people to set their own goals, tackle their own housekeeping demons 
Bugger, i knew i forgot something.
Quite right Linzer
Many thanks to SC who did a marvelous job of keeping us organised and in check last month. Much appreciated!
Reporting for duty . As linzer says, july can only be better as june contained no flying whatsoever . The only way is up. And thank you to sc for being brilliant as usual .
Doc has given me the all-clear so I'm parking my vaccuum in the naughty corner ready for tomorrow
Ihatecobwebs! Welcome back! Thought you'd gone off us. I've missed you (and your lists ).
Ernest - Welcome to the thread 
.
Marking my place for a (hopefully) more productive July! Although I am going on holiday at the weekend, so not looking terribly promising. At least we won't be here to make a mess for a week
swan did you know you are in the Mumesnet Rules?
Cobweb it's lovely to see you, I was worrying about you - and wondering whether the quilts had enveloped you
Push I wonder what I wittered on about 
I can't deny I'm intrigued.
What are these Rules of which you speak - I didn't know I had any, myself...? Do I have to buy the book?

Welcome back cobwebs and janey and welcome to the thread Ernest and silken. I shall have the whole German thread here yet. (Have tried to persuade admylin to return, but no success so far.)
Fame at last, swan!
Toffee Yes, the thought of no lessons to prepare and teach will keep me going for the next nine weeks! (She says hopefully.)
SC Still one more hour (tomorrow morning) to go here and then we're off until 5th September (although I'm cheating by sending the DDs to a sport & games camp next week and DS will still be at kindergarten)
Briefly wondered about shining my sink, but then decided to leave it until tomorrow (I'm a terrible procrastinator, I know). We have blown up a few balloons and DH has made the cake, but still need to get everything else ready for DD2's birthday party tomorrow afternoon. Tidying up would be a good start. Must get organised while the DDs are at school tomorrow (and not spend the entire hour on MN).
swan you are delivering sage parenting advice
'I think you should apologise for the shouting but not necessarily the sentiment. So you can say "I'm sorry I screames at you but I am really very angry with the way you just ran across the road"
So now you don't have to buy the book! The ability to purchase instant books wirelessly to my kindle from my bed is going to get me into serious financial difficulties!
