OMG!!! FLYers I have a major task ahead! See here!

Hi all

I have no children (on hol with their dad) and no DP (playing bloody football) so how I am supposed to have a family fun day?

I have the heating on and now I have caught up on my threads think I might put a DVD on and snuggle up under a quilt - sounds like fun to me.

Just after lunch we had unexpected guests (DPs relatives) who had never been before and I had to show them round the house and guess what?

I could do it and wasn't ashamed as I am a Flylady!!

I have had to unsubscribe to all the christmas group emails as I turned on at lunch time and had 55 messages. I am now subscribed to just the main one each week!

Bloody hell tortoise - feel very sorry for you!!

Tortoise - at least now you won't have to iron the things then keep naff little pictures forever/until you can throw them away without anyone noticing.

Cappucino - where do I get the organised mum calendar...sounds like something I might actually use, as opposed to the control thing (I looked and reckon I'd make it, use it for a week then file it in the bin )

I'm subscribed to the Christmas weekly email but haven't had it yet. I seem to be getting a random selection of messages. Nothing so far today, 20 or so yesterday, 5 the day before, and none the day before that,

I've got the weekly planner from organised mum and it is fab!

Tortoise! Your floor!!
Do you want to add your kids to the free to good homes list?

Also, need to confess, family fun day has been dinner at mcdonalds.

Am I blacklisted from mumsnet now?

THANKYOU (sorry) Shazronnie. I've just ordered one.

Yes i think i will add mine to the free to good homes list!

I still haven't got round to ordering my calender!

Oh and shaz Mcds is ok sometimes!

Hi there, I enrolled yesterday and am delighted to say I already do washing once a day and keep my kitchen tidy. I have become obssessed with a shiny sink after 24 hours - very sad ??

Hope you dont mind me gatecrashing....

weekly planner vs home planner...
hmmmm
how do i decide......
i have one ds1 starting school this week, ds2 is 18 months and dh works funny shifts so all needs writing on.....
weekly/home planner...hmmmm

You're very welcome tamsino; the more the merrier!

I'm not going to go down the office in a bag, or organised mum calendar as I have to confess - I am a fully paid-up member of the Dodo Pad cult - see here

dodo pad

welcome tamsino.

Im liking the look of the dodo pad.Now which one should i have? Hmmm!!!

Boys have gone back to their Dads now and the place is a wreck.They all seem to move things and drop things and its just impossible for them to pick them up!

Thanks for the welcome.

I am so proud of myself. Have made homemade soup today ( a first) which DH just got 2nds of ! He liked it so much he cleaned the kitchen after.

P.S Am hoping not to get so into Flying that I feel compelled to buy the merchandise Is it really that addictive?

I just did an unusual thing! Ive tidied the front room floor without sitting here thinking I must tidy it.I just got up and did it.

well done tortoise

thank you.[proud emoticon!]

tortoise well done, gold star for you

I just tidied up my linen cupboard immediately after putting dd2 to bed cos it's right outside her room. Just got right to it like you, instead of walking past it

Now I need help. I have a load of old towels and sheets to throw away that aren't ever needed or used. Is there any reason to keep this stuff? Will I regret it in a year?

anyone?

Capp - you just go ahead and bin them! It's a fantastic feeling of release (I've done the same) and the chances are you won't need them in the future!

Go on, you know you want to....

Bin them,Bin them,Bin them!!

Or donate to an animal shelter for the cats/dogs as i think they take old towels etc for bedding.

Im adding to Ebay.I have a whole cupboard of stuff to sell and will be glad when its clear!!

Take the towels to the local PDSA, they always need bedding for aminals after their op's.
I have been to our allotment digging today in the pouring rain. Nothing quite like it! Think the kids may have opted for McD's if given the option.
Made a roast dinner, cleaned house, went shopping and had a nap. My day is done.

Ooh I bought an electronic label maker today, I'm very pleased with it! Have labelled the label maker 'sorkycake's'

I've let my planner go a bit over the hol's but sat today and organised my life from this week on with vengeance.

Does it really work? My house is always a tip and I am lazy would love to turn things around and both kids will be in full time school in a week so will have no excuse really. Just need a bit of convincing to hit the join flylady button ........

arfur- It really does/is working for many of us on this thread.Join and see how you go.Little bits at a time make a big difference in the long run.
