New thread for a new zone, morning all

lets all do profiles

I have been married 6 years, I have 2 dd's, one is 6 and the other is 16 months and a dd or ds on the way!
I have always been domestically challenged and I think Flylady has the answer.
I have known about flylady for about 2 years but never really got going, I hope that doing it together will change that.
Good Luck to all on a fresh zone

Morning all - how are you doing QP? I guess you're probably on your way or at your MILs now. Hope it all goes well for you.

Shiny sink, the other loo from yesterday needs doing plus today's mission and the 15 mins declutter. See you all later - happy flying!

tortoise · 17/08/2006 11:53

Pregnancy put me off too but i started again afterwards with both the girls but ive stopped for good now.Write off the fact you smoked and see if you can go back to not smoking.

Ruby you are hilarious!(sp!)

AmandaP · 17/08/2006 14:08

Okay, spotless bathroom, kitchen floor and shiny sink. Just the 15 mins decluttering and then my day is done (metaphorically speaking anyway. There's just the umpteen requests for food/entertainment/chocolate/more food/play station/even more food to deal with, and that's before dh gets home with his 'requests'!!!!)

tortoise · 17/08/2006 14:39

Well done.Im trying to tidy the front room floor! Just as i think its clear,another toy appears!

tortoise · 17/08/2006 16:56

Where is everone today? Busy cleaning i hope!
I have just cut the hedge(by hand cos the hedge cutter won't work),then trimmed my bush.
Cook something for tea next i suppose!
Hope everones having a good day esp Q if she's still at the mil's.

Quootiepie · 17/08/2006 16:58

hello, popped back to get a modem for MIL... going back now, just feeding 1st. Hope your all busy FLYing!

tortoise · 17/08/2006 17:12

Thats cool.I thought about saving tesco vouchers but being a non-driver limits where we can go! Maybe one day
Its good that FLYing is helping us all.
