If your nest is cluttered and getting you down, join February's Fledgling Flyers and turn it around

[pushmepullyou]

Welcome to the February Fledgling Flyers' thread. A very big thankyou to ToffeeChristmasCake (who will presumably return under her non-Christmas name ) for seeing us through the thick and thin of January decluttering.

All flyers and fledgings old and new are very welcome - we have a fairly relaxed attitude to flying and take some of the babysteps - such as getting dressed to lace-up shoes - with a pinch of salt. We also strongly advise against signing up for the FlyLady emails.

From the first of the month, we will be following Flylady's tips on restoring order to our homes, using one of the following methods:

1. Babysteps
2. Babysteps + 15 mins daily decluttering
3. Babysteps + daily missions

Following the babysteps helps to establish daily routines and build a weekly plan.

If you are overwhelmed by the mess in your home, start with just one thing: shine your sink. It's amazing what you can achieve by just doing a bit at a time!

Pleased be warned that my month's leadership comes with a bit of a caveat as I am due to have DC2 at the beginning of March so there is a chance I may disappear mid month! Thankfully Toffee has very kindly offered to deputise in the event of the unexpected appearance of DS .

Apologies to Toffee (and by extension Ellie) for blatant intro plagarising and thankyou to Nettie for the thread title

See you all in February!

Halfway through the month and we're on page 40! Only just over 20 messages to go (and I'm not helping by posting another one)... I think we're going to need a new thread very soon.

Off to get the children up...

Morning all.

Have just about recovered from party shenanigans. DC's are going to my mum's for the day today so was looking forward to a day to myself, just me, myself and I. Then DH announces that he has got the day off work today, is it wrong that I am more than a little upset about this. I was looking forward to be able to do exactly what I wanted today in complete peace and solitude. Grrrrr.

I didn't know if pmpy would be able to get on today and based upon our average posting rate, there is every chance the thread would be filled today. So I created another one here new thread.

Have just realised I have made a big boo boo though and not put part 2 in the thread title. I am an idiot!

very annoying Ellie if not planned..
Dh has only just left for the Cambridge Book Fair so we have had a moderately relaxed morning - with dh pacing about (he hates travelling discussing various things. I don't mind him being here, as long as he is in GOOD MOOD

School gate was a sight to see this morning! Polish costumes, Morris dancers, Armenian, Chinese, Eritrean and a lot of red white and blue costumes. We had an embroiderered waistcoat for ds2 and a hat, but in the end we had to send him in as Afghanistan not Russia, it was all most confusing, as he didn't look at all Russian. Dd went covered in tulips!

So, feel a bit brighter this morning, better start tidying
