the FLYLADY CULT bedroom zone; new recruits welcome

[shazronnie]

Morning everyone am I first up?

OH MY GOD Domestickler...that toyroom !!!

I was so envious last time you posted a pic - now you can keep it!

Tortoise - glad you like the cloth - as for your bedroom, the ceiling looks fab! Good advice just to do one little spot at a time. Mine is tidy because I sorted out my make up / clutter drawer which meant i could clear the crap which had accumulated on the chest.

TrinityRhino - calm down woman! Choose a room. If you pick up 2 things every day for a week it will slowly start to look better. THIS IS NOT A RACE!!

Popsycal - sounds like you are a true convert - keep it up!

So...... sink shiny, bathroom and downstairs loo clean, washing on and livingroom not a tip yet not exactly emptied dishwasher yet or done anything with breakfast dishes but it's a start

I need to get off here and actually DO some orf it...

morning all, I have a favour to ask
I hope you don't mind,. I know you all have your own houses and children, dp's and work and stuff your trying to deal with in your own lives but I am at the end of my tether
for 7 years(all the time that I have nbeen a wife, housewife and mother) I have never got the hang if it, I am seriously untidy and disorganised, I have ss and a cpn trying to help although ss haven't done what they said they would in march yet
My counsellor say I have low self esteem and that what makes me unable to take pride inmyself or my house and constantly put myself down, my dh and MIL(who is wonderful) have been trying to make me see that for 3 years now. I finally realise that it is true and I have to change that, I owe it to myself and my dh and children
I was wondering if I could show you my kitchen and then you could tell me how bad it really is and then encourage or shout at me to love myself enought to change it
how do you get that photobucket everyone else is using, I have piccies on my camera and can get them onto the laptop but them how do I get them onto a site I can show you lot with

pretty please lovely flying people

I have no idea how to do photo thing but wanted to let you know someone listening{hug}

thanks dame
I think I've worked it out
watch this space
maybe a while though dd2 is wanting me

Really wish I could help you TR but I don't know myself. I am sure someone will come along.

Its a good idea putting the piccies on here if you think it will help and you will probably find it isn't that bad

Well I am on baby steps so I shined my sink last night mnaged to put out clothes and have dressed to shoes. what do I do next?

trinity of course we'll help we'd love to

but I'm finding the whole thing about this flying lark is getting someone else to tell me what to do and not to worry about the rest

eg this week I have spent my energy on the sink thing and on my bedroom since this is where flylady said (I'm very obedient me )

even though the playroom looked like a bomb (though not as bad as domestickler's so I feel a bit better I concentrated yesterday on shining my doorknobs like Kelly said

I felt a bit of a tit especially since there were other things that I could have been doing - but do you know what? I now have a shiny bedroom doorknob. And it makes me happy even if there is crap all over the floor!

I think you're getting a bit bogged down babe; we can only do one bit at a time. I'm finding that doing what I'm told and letting someone else take the responsibility for what bit I do next is really making me relax a bit more.

We'll get to the kitchen. Now off you pop, go turn your mattress and put your pillows in the dryer.

xxx

not sure if this will work

but here goes

and pillows in the dryer????

really should ga and look at the site

shit that didn't work lol

try again

I like this being told what to do and only having to spend 15 mins at a time it is also helping to lift my moods however I just blew my stack as dd was nagging for sweets, I said no next thing I know there is coffee all over my nice clean floor. I could of cried.

it's a slideshow

Will you be my friend?!?!?! You would feel sooo at home in my house - possibly even shocked and dismayed by me, and you'll go home feeling all smug!

Trinity it's not as bad as our house was when SS were sent out to us by a well meaning friend. Take one room at a time. I noticed flylady fridgemagnets!!!! So come on and fly.

sure flamey
I doubt I would feel smug after being in your house, you haven't seen upstairs yet and this is downstairs on a good day

but in all seriousness it really is getting me down
I could get a degree in procrastination and being a lazy ass

trinity what is your problem? you can see surfaces, you can see the floor!

stop trying to do everything at once. That's the whole point. Rome wasn't built in a day etc etc

you're in the bedroom today. Stop stressing about the soon to be mini office and the kitchen. Do your 15 minutes and feel proud of yourself.

it is NOT NOT NOT as bad as you think

ok cappucino, you wanna see my bedroom?

It can't be as bad as mine is atm. You cannot see the floor, the units are all in pieces waiting to be put together and put in the right place. I daren't open the curtains.

You know, this is all making me feel much better, I thought I was the only one whose house looks like this I am sick of stepping over stuff so often that I forget it's there. Really it's not that bad, ok it wants tidying but it's no worse than my house. you should see our little bedroom which should be ds3's nursery, have to climb over huge piles of stuff to get to his clothes, no carpet at all an he's still in travel cot in our room which is covered in my clothes and dirty washing

But now I have a shiny sink, I'm taking baby steps still not done washwash or breakfast dishes.

wash wash dishwasher of course, baby on lap, brain elsewhere
