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

it is abit confusing... Zones, Missions, Daily routines... but if you take it little by little, you pick it up. Nerd??? LOL! reminds me of Nerds and Dweebs... them sweets Edindork is a townlet in Dungannon.

mummy2ashton · 14/08/2006 13:25

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 13:32

how do you boil an egg?

mummy2ashton · 14/08/2006 13:33

what?!?! erm, pan of water on the stove, put the egg in with a bit of vinegar to stop shell cracking and just let it boil for about 10 minutes

coggy · 14/08/2006 13:35

LOL at you being called a nerd Quootie...me too!!!
I copied it all down in my notebook too!!!

I'm not getting the mission reminders so if you could post what they are on here every day that'd be fab - 15mins of cosmetics etc....good...I need to do that.

Haven't done my blessing (horror!!) cos I got carried away and have done most of that in the past week......now I'm going to leave it all 'til next Monday!! Hurrah!!!

coggy · 14/08/2006 13:36

hard or soft boiled?

housemum · 14/08/2006 13:43

Hello, I'm another one for the converts club - amid the piles of decluttering books I found the computer (!) Will attempt to keep up - have cheated already though and am a day ahead. I've just got back from hols and had blitzed the sink before I went, so was twiddling my thumbs - have done the "put a laundry load on".

Only thing that gets in the way is that appealing Mumsnet site - lose an hour or so there.........

tortoise · 14/08/2006 13:45

Wow you have been busy chatting!!

I wouldn't say i was 100% following the routine. Im going to keep with the weeks zones and mission for each day and of course sink shining! Not sure i can keep up with a journal!I think i need to have a good read through of the FLY lady site.

coggy · 14/08/2006 13:49

What is this business today with "Add a 5 minute room rescue to your Morning Routine."

What is a room rescue?
Are you supposed to guess?
It is Baby Steps after all!!!

tortoise · 14/08/2006 13:52

A quick tidy round io guess so that clutter doesn't build.
Kelly's missions are on the web site if no-one posts it here.

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 13:54

the 5 min room rescue is the baby step! I think DH is boiling his egg for 3 mins after the water has boiled...soft boiled. What a palaver!

coggy · 14/08/2006 13:55

I hope he's using a timer with wings!!!!

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 13:56

fling boogie??? is that like "pick it, lick it, roll it, flick it!"

coggy · 14/08/2006 13:56

Is it a 5 minute declutter?

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 13:57

yep Coggy.

tortoise · 14/08/2006 13:57

Fling boogie?

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 13:57

my email says its "fling boogie time!!

coggy · 14/08/2006 14:00

I think you have to fling 27 things!!

I'm not doing it (until I'm told to) but it does worry me...how often do you have to find 27 things???!!!

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 14:01

oh, im not doing that! Most my stuff is sorted from the move

tortoise · 14/08/2006 14:01

27 things to chuck away? That won't be easy! Im against throwing away clutter,it may come in handy one day.

coggy · 14/08/2006 14:01

Right...it's 2 'o' clock......timer is at the ready.....15 mins of cosmetic clutter her I come.....!!

tortoise · 14/08/2006 14:02

Im watching neighnours first!

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 14:03

good luck! im off after DH has his egg and soldiers!

coggy · 14/08/2006 14:19

Done!

In true FLYlady tradition....I was just tying up the binbag as the timer went off.....how perfect can you get??!!!

Medulla · 14/08/2006 14:20

Has anyone got any of the Flylady merchandise? I was just looking at the Control journal?
