Thank you RR; feel better now.

BTW Coggy; you are right - Flylady is our leader - she speaks the truth and we must obey ... [mad starey emoticon]

I at least am fully indoctrinated.

Surely we will easily recognised by the manic activity levels when confronted with a water stain on a shiny sink?

Can I join? Though honestly it has taken me so long just to get my sink free of crumbs that I feel defeated already. And I will not wear shoes.

tortoise · 28/08/2006 18:23

Hi singersgirl.You are welcome to join.
Once that sink is shining you will want to keep it like it.Important to dry it after each use to prevent water marks drying on!
I don't wear shoes,infact most of us don't and it doesn't make a difference.

Shazronnie......I didn't miss you cos I haven't been here either!!! [pleased that I've got a good excuse!!!!! ]

My sink is rather covered in that infamous 'stuff' as my neices have been here for a few days.

Big sink push tomorrow I feel!!!!!

coggy · 28/08/2006 19:17

I've just checked the webpage and....DON'T PANIC is the message I'm getting!!!

Only one day this week in the hallway/ enterance is fine cos next week that's the main zone.....

Phew!!

damewashalot · 28/08/2006 19:23

I haven't done very well today but I am only on baby step 5 or6,lost trackSill I have a shiny sink and the livingroom hasn't got too messy so that's something. If someone came to the door, as long as they shut their eyes in the hall and didn't go upstairs or through to the back of the house by the back door, it would be ok
Will try harder tomorrow.

tortoise · 28/08/2006 20:15

My front room is a mess again now! How the hell do i keep on top of it with kids!

Have packed a large bag for beach trip tomorrow! God it weighs a ton.So much needed for 4 of them.
Want to take some food to save money but not sure i have room for it!

Your beach trip sounds fun.
Took our dog down to the beach today for a windy run!!!

tortoise · 28/08/2006 20:22

I hope it will be fun! Hour + on the train first. Going to go to the sea life centre too(they have turtles).

OP posts:
coggy · 28/08/2006 20:28

tortoise · 28/08/2006 20:32

I should like to officially join, I don't think I have already.
I usually don't deep clean as Fly Lady suggests but might give the Zones a try. I have my list to do in preparation for Christmas so hopefully I can work them together.
The 27 thing fling sounds dubious for me as I don't have much clutter atm, I'm doing q.well.
I don't have a stainless steel sink, it's a granite thing so I don't have to shine it hahahaha!

tortoise · 28/08/2006 21:27

Hi sorky.
I bet your taps need shining though????
I haven't done a 27 boogie thingy yet.Im sure i could find 27 things to chuck,recycle or charity shop!

sorkycake · 28/08/2006 21:31

Just done 'em (mixer so only one) Tortoise, loaded dishwasher and run a bath, think I'll have an early night. D'ya think Birkenstocks count as shoes?

tortoise · 28/08/2006 21:36

Ive just had a bath.Dishwasher needs putting on.
I think another FLYer wears birkenstocks.
Most don't bother with the shoes!

tortoise · 28/08/2006 22:11
