Have just come across this thread - I LOVE Flylady but too embarrassed to speak of it in rl!

I make the bed when I get up, tidy the bathroom after my shower, empty the dishwasher first thing and try to get my clothes on before 9am - I am 38 years old and why I need someone to tell me that this makes life easier, I dont know, but it really works!

Having said that, am about to tackle dining room table - not so much of a hot spot, more like a towering inferno. Meaning to do it for weeks, so why am I on MN now....?

emails are waste of time though - just freaked me out

Hi kitty.Isn't FLYing fun! Im soo impressed with my kitchen.I went in my cupboard for a dish tonight and put my hand straight on it instead of rooting around for it.
And ive got clean plates in the morning instead of having to put dish washer on and waiting ages for a clean one!!

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 20:55

Yes it really is Q.
I hope i keep it up.We should start a new thread each week.

coggy · 09/08/2006 21:10

LOL at Tortoise and Quootie not making their beds 'til day 15!!!!!!

MadameButterfly · 09/08/2006 21:14

I tried FLYing, but got fed up with the numerous emails arriving at silly times due to it being an american site.

I found a different system Sidetracked Home Executives which worked for me in last house. I am going to impliment it in this house too when DD starts school in 4 weeks time.

coggy · 09/08/2006 21:24

Madame - I think the SHE site is what originally inspired the FLYing one.

You can sign up to the UK version and receive all of the emails at the correct time - hurrah!!
Cappucino has done a link lower down this thread.

for my enthusiasm!!!

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 21:26

aaaaaaaaaahhhh (thats not a scream, but a satisfied ahhhh)... just shined my sink. Its great!!! Running out of window cleaner now though.

OP posts:
tortoise · 09/08/2006 21:28

I need to do mine.Tea towel is dry now.
I have a window wonder foam,would that be the same i wonder? I have 3 can of it but its crap on the windows!!

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 21:30

worth a go I guess the baking soda is great for washing it, then I use some green window spray stuff.

OP posts:
tortoise · 09/08/2006 21:40

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 21:58

OP posts:
tortoise · 09/08/2006 22:11

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 22:14

OP posts:
tortoise · 09/08/2006 22:22

Well the sink is shining!
May use green stuff next time.Foam stuff smells a bit strong!

coggy · 09/08/2006 23:35

I too have the green stuff..........

......could be a new clique??!!!!!

I don't like to keep going on about these emails....and I have subscribed and unsubscribed rather manically over the past few days....but....

....I haven't had one telling me to go to bed yet...should I worry?

....or maybe I should just stay up until I get further instruction??!!!

domestickler · 09/08/2006 23:49

I am very excited to announce that I found white vinegar in a spray dispenser today in wilkinsons!!! how cool is that

tortoise · 10/08/2006 00:04

LOL! Is that cool??
Oh dear i havent put the toys away! Im too knackered and should really go to bed!

domestickler · 10/08/2006 00:05

since I first watched Kim and Aggie (am I allowed to mention them on a Fly thread) they always talked about white vinegar and how magical it was for cleaning.

Ive always quite fancied some and then lo and behold its there for about 50p
