Ditto for Coggy....minus the shoes (sorry!!)

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:01

Flippin' heck domestickler....just looked at what time you posted!!!

That's pretty damn early to be so organised....especially with shoes....I am well impressed!!!!!

domestickler · 11/08/2006 09:03

Have now also done a LOL (load of laundry) and hung it out to dry and put another in to wash.

DH was on nights last night and my youngest woke me up ridiculously early. Thought I may as well get on with it

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:07

Hey my DH was on Nights last night too....I was VERY tempted to stay in bed with him all morning but I could hear that FLYwooman calling me!!!!!

domestickler · 11/08/2006 09:09

Mine isnt back in yet. Gets back about 10am - so normally WELL up with the kids by then!

What does yours do? Mine works in the haematology lab of the local hospital

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:12

Morning FLYers.
Everything done here too(minus shoes).
Awake(ish) since 6.30,got up at 8.30!
Just ds2 needs dressing but she's still eating toast.
I have 19 e-mails to read through.

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:15

Tortoise....are you Uk and USA or just one or what?!

I am still having a crisis about my FLYing identity!!!
Nobody is bothering to tell me to go to bed and I don't like it!!!!

Dome...my DH gives out tickets to speedy drivers!!! He gets in at 7 (ish) so it's VERY tempting to stay in for a while longer.....!!

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:17

Ive still got both e-mails coming in! Find the uk ones a bit odd.
I want a man to snuggle up with in the morning.
All i get is kids bouncing on me!

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:18

I see its floor mopping in the kitchen today.I need to do that.

domestickler · 11/08/2006 09:20

I did mine yesterday but didnt clean fridge or cupboards this week so will do that instead.

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:21

One UK message sent at 12.36am saying start your evening routine! They seem to send out the whole days worth in one go around 12am.

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:23

I'm going to kick myself for doing this but.....I amy have to resubscribe (for the eighteenth time!!!) to the US emails!!

There are so many UK ones and I feel I'mmissing iut on something!!

And they still come at bizzare times....I keep getting told to do things about an hour and a half late.......which actually...probably suits me better thinking about it!!!!!!

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:24

Maybe they were just allowing you a late night as a treat Tortoise!!!

Baaaaad typing before - sorry!!

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:24

I think i might un-subscribe the uk ones.I havnt seen one from the Uk giving the task for the day and thats the one i like to get and do if possible.

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:25

I agree....let's revolt!!!

Wisp · 11/08/2006 09:26

Hi !
I've been looking at doing flylady for a few months, never realised so many people use it !
I have no household rota whatsoever, and it's going downhill by the week !
I'm about to sign up now....deep breath !

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:27

Oh...oh..oh.....somethings coming through............

8.15 - 8.30am.....It's time to move: 15 minutes of loving movement......Oh well....missed it!!!
Far to late now to bum wiggle wouldn't you say!!??!

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:28

Wisp...you've got a cool name for a FlyLady thread...I can just imagine you floating around with your pink feather duster....no purple puddles in your house.....!!!!!

Join us!

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:31

Welcome wisp.Come on in to the FLYers room! Our sinks are shining!
Dd2 now dressed.
Bum wiggling this early? i don't think so!

Wisp · 11/08/2006 09:38

Thanks for the welcome !
lol, yes I wear those pink fluffy mule slippers, a tutu, and coordinating pink feathery gloves for housework
I have just signed up to the UK yahoo group, Its jam packed ! Is the US one better ?

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:49

Ooooh...there is such debate!!!!!

tortoise · 11/08/2006 09:51

Well ive managed to hoover before all the toys get tipped out!
I think personally i prefer the US e-mails.

shazronnie · 11/08/2006 10:01

checking in a bit late today, but I am dressed to shoes and sink is shiny.

don't feel quite so motivated today; will have to get my timer on and do 15 mins of something.

shazronnie · 11/08/2006 10:03

tortoise - i am with the US; I kinda like the cheesiness and the bizarre timing of some of the messages.
