Welcome to the September Fledgling Flylady Thread.
This thread is for people with CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome). We follow Flylady, the website with a mission!
All are welcome on this thread, experienced flyers and newcomers alike.
We try to follow the commandments of Flylady as we run our homes, loosely anyway. In between there's lots of chat and support as we go through our daily lives. We have coffee, cake, and a naughty corner for those who want to chat but CBA with their house some days. However you follow it, this thread is designed to make your life a little easier and more fun.
For those who are new to the system (and those needing a refresher), there are several aspects to the system:
- Babysteps. These build a routine. Some are really useful, some are downright odd and some are, quite frankly, there to be ignored. They build a good foundation though.
- Decluttering. Flylade is evangelical about clutter. In order to feel good about our homes we need to ditch the clutter. Flylady divides the home into zones, week by week and repeating monthly. As well as babysteps, we have to declutter in the relevant zone. Once that is achieved we move on to...
- Missions. Also in the current zone, these are targetted tasks to tackle one particular aspect. One a day, they vary month to month.
- Deep Cleaning. Once we have completely decluttered (some of us seem to be stuck permanently on that stage) there are deep cleaning lists for each zone. Achieve that and your house will be spotless!
One last thing - the Flylady website encourages us to subscribe to her emails - one word - DON"T! You will be overwhelmed by them. Instead come to this thread every morning and the relevant links for the day will be there waiting for you except when the thread leader has been on the
A big thank you to Bitchy for last month, and also for doing this Sunday's links as I am off camping.
