Welcome to all the newbies (52 and counting 
) and to all the returners and old-timers. I won't be posting babysteps till 1st January, so you can all relax until then. If I can't answer any of your questions, there will always be a more experienced Fledgling who can - quite a few of the thread posters have been Flying much longer than me.
To those of you who posed questions:
Emmac50 ? Flylady?s theory is that other members of the family start to join in with the Flylady methods once they see how effective they are. You can read her views on it here. Great that your DH has started picking his clothes up. I must say, that particular habit still hasn?t rubbed off on my DH 
.
Mintchocchic ? sorry, but I do most of the routines myself. I am working on DH and kids though and hope that it will all filter through in the end. DH has been impressed by the effectiveness of Flylady.
openyerlugholes ? yes, we do follow the zone cleaning. We are in a different zone each week and do the missions and decluttering in that zone. And we do lists too. Somebody invented the 'ta da' list, which is inspiring and always helps you to realise what you have achieved in a day, rather than focusing on what you haven't.
BuckminsterFullerene ? you should have a read of ?Feminism and housework and hoarding and Flylady?. Chip, in particular, gives an interesting perspective on Flylady.
leftmymistletoeatthedoor ? yep, decluttering is the key.
SuePurblybilt ? yes, Flylady can help. Losing things is so stressful. Congrats on the linen cupboard.
libbyssister ? the great thing about Flylady is that she gives you routines to follow, so you don?t have to fret about everything there is to do anymore. You know it?ll get seen to eventually. Blitzing when people are coming is called a ?crisis clean? in Flylady language and she even has a system for this!
sharenicely ? I menu plan too and write the week?s menu on my calendar. I use Menus4Mums mostly (you pay a small fee and they post weekly menus) and, sometimes, Resourceful Cook (which is free).
IceColdBitchy ? sorry, had failed to notice that every previous Flying thread by our group has had ?fledgling? in the title 
.
Jas ? you did that fab Flylady Christmas thread last year, didn?t you? I printed it all out and put it in my control journal. Did you notice that I bumped it this year?
Alouisee ? off topic - you won?t remember me, but you were one of the most vocal Mumsnetters taking my side (thank you!) when I first posted a question on MN. I was new to MN and was shocked at how judgemental some people were. The Flying thread is much gentler!
peachybums ? sorry you are not well. It must be hard to keep on top of housework when you?re unwell.
ButterPopcorn ? I agree with the other Fledglings who recommend e-cloths. In fact, the best pack I got had an e-cloth and a buffing cloth too, so if I really want to impress people, I use both! Even my MIL asked me how I managed to get my taps so shiny recently.
Ponders ? my sink doesn?t shine either (black granite). But I do have shiny taps (see above) 
.
cartblanche ? I don?t always get dressed first (still in PJs at the moment, for instance, but I was up till 2am this morning dealing with my oldest son and his sleeping over friends), but I do find that I feel more organised when I do, so it is a rule that I try to follow
superdragonmama ? clutter gets you down, no doubt about it. Get yourself a timer and start decluttering for 15 mins a day!
DharmaBumpkin ? don?t worry, a tidier house is not a torturous process if you use Flylady.
daisylulu- Flylady has some tips on Flying with babies.
BerylStreep - Flylady also does a section on 'body decluttering', which we could probably all do with at this time of year. Unfortunately, she has had a revamp of her website and, at the moment, the search engine isn't working so I can't find it. She has published a book on it, which you can get secondhand from Amazon here. (I should be on commmission, shouldn't I? ).
thetasigmamum ? do you think you could get your DH involved with Flylady? It sounds as if he?d need to be to make it work for you.
Flylady has a list of FAQs here, which might help if any of you still have unanswered questions. NB: there is a lot we ignore on the Flylady website (mentions of - ick - purple puddles, for instance). But the underlying system is sound.
Hope this helps.
