what is flylady? i keep hearing about this but have no idea what or who it is?

www.flylady.net

Enjoy!

I just wanted to say thanks for asking that question, I had seen the references on thread titles to flylady and had no idea waht it was either. I had a look at the site and started a flylady Crisis clean yesterday and I have not looked back since. Why had I not heard of that site before?

same here mummie. Although you are one step ahead of me...i am just browsing the website with a view to a crisis clean eventually . Tired just thinking about it.

I looked at babysteps, then I looked at crisis cleaning and went for it. I thought it would be hard, it wasn't and my self esteem went really high.

I actually changed it a bit. I did the following:

Paid attention to personal grooming, tick

Put MTV on, tick

Got mobile on 15 minute timer, tick

went into kitchen took photo, and spent 15 minutes, don't have a metal shink so didn't bother with shiny thing, took another photo, tick

Alarm went off, went into living room, took photo, spent 15 mintues, took another photo, tick

Alarm went off, went into dining room and took photo, spent 15 mintues and took another photo, tick

Sat on my arse with a nice cup of tea and two biscuits for fifteen minues reading my magazine, tick

and off i went again!

It really was worth doing!

Sounds not too bad. I like the idea of the taking photo so you can see what you've achieved and with 5 kids in my house it would be nice to have a keepsake of how it looked for a few minutes
I am going to give it a go and i let you know how i get on
p.s i don't have a shiny sink so i can skip that too.

Babybear, oh do let us know how you get on! If you do the same room 3 or 4 times, and take a pic each time your fifteen minutes is up, it really makes you feel good!
