Any idea why they're purple??!!

Cappucino · 07/08/2006 20:41

why am I getting all this stuff then if I wanted babysteps?

I mean I have more important things to do than polish my mirrors

The e-mails are just the ones that get sent out.If your just starting you basically ignore them until you have caught up with the longer term users.

coggy · 07/08/2006 20:44

Are you sure you're babystepping?

All I've had to do is get dressed and wipe the sink before I go to bed!!!

Nothing as strenuous as polishing......blimy!!!

im sticking to baby steps... read them all and they lead up to the 15 mins decluttering etc., then I guess you follow the routines on the site... with little missions and pamper days and that.

Reading through the babysteps its quite a long time before we actually have to do anything much.

coggy · 08/08/2006 08:31

tortoise · 08/08/2006 08:37

shazronnie · 08/08/2006 08:51

Wow this is great I am soooo motivated!!

And yes my sink is shiny!

shazronnie · 08/08/2006 08:53

I am an ex-flyer - found it helpful but now do my own thing.

What I want to know is how many of you are wearing shoes? Go on own up!

coggy · 08/08/2006 09:03

I am still sat here after hunting around the FlyLady website for the past half an hour!!!

Will go and get dressed now!
(Signed up for emails too as I felt left out!! )

pecka · 08/08/2006 09:37

No shoes here

Cappucino · 08/08/2006 09:53

I'm not wearing any fecking shoes

make the floor dirty

I have just spent the last five minutes, tragically, copying reminder emails into my google calendar

coggy · 08/08/2006 10:42

I signed up for emails this morning and haven't received any yet...

I was rather (sadly) excited when I checked my inbox (again) just now...but alas....again...nothing!!

Why is everyone else getting inundated and I have an empty space??

Cappucino · 08/08/2006 10:43

Coggy - your emails will be 2 days behind. You get them after a few hours.

trinityrhino · 08/08/2006 10:52

me too pecka, is there a uk mail version thingy or not???

coggy · 08/08/2006 10:52

I thought I had!!
I clicked on Yahoo UK...so I thought that would give me the UK timings.

Maybe I'll get the millions in the night!!
