FLY people - what timers do you use? Can you recommend one?

My timer just broke! I've become addicted to my FLYing 15 minutes and now I'm going to be lost without it.

Using the one on my phone just doesn't seem the same. I need a dedicated housework one.

Any recommendations?

I got this one from Amazon. It's very cute. Use it a lot to rush round doing the 15 min thing!

It's already made me laugh! Thanks.

Does it have an option to 'tick'? The one I had before ticked loudly and made me work harder.

I think the 15 minute thing has been revolutionary for me and I'm really feeling the loss of the timer. It was also really easy to read from across the room so I could see how I was doing.

Aww, no it doesn't tick. Unfortunately it just goes beepbeepbeep at the end as well - would be more fund if it made appropriate piggy noises Grin

Sorry for being thick- what is FLY please? I've seen it a couple of times and just can't figure it.

Oh, thanks lemon Smile

I urge you to try it!

In RL I'm getting dangerously evangelical about it. I swear that blue barneted fairy made my house inhabitable.

I have a lovely app on my phone called HomeRoutine which has a timer. And you can give yourself stars when you've completed a task! A clean tidy house is not motivation enough.... But a little yellow star on my phone screen is all I need to spur me on Grin

Off to look that up. Could be perfect for DH, he loves an app.
