Trinity, well done you! Little bit by little bit and you will get there.
Definitley suppport the idea of 10 minutes of clearing/washing/ironing/putting away at a time. I did 15 mins of ironing yesterday and then put it all straight away. Must admit though there is a 'limbo' stage where clean clothes sit in a basket in the corner of the dining room between being dry and being ironed, and this limbo stage can last days!

Hi JessaJam Thanks for the welcome.
Hope to meet a few more mums once I find way round

SusiS · 07/09/2006 17:38

kitchen is still clean - and that after cooking dinner and eating it. dishes are in the dishwasher and sink is shiny(ish) - i have to get a toothbrush! i found a few spots all around still mucky and greasy

soon bathtime for kids and while i do that i'll put todays washing away! (i normally hate that job and it piles and piles and piles) - but it might actually work if i do it every day little by little ... baby steps
(and ironing??? nawwww!)

and trinity: another YES for your collection

JessaJam · 07/09/2006 17:43

hazelnuts · 07/09/2006 17:44

Hi SusiS My kitchen is clean now and the sink is like new
I just got to keep it that way now.

hazelnuts · 07/09/2006 17:46

Thanks JessaJam , We are all strange to start with. lol

JessaJam · 07/09/2006 17:52

Bollards, can't find the thing now! Argh! Anyway, I think the best way, if you just want to dive in, is to click on 'without buying/selling' on the Active Conversations line up at the top of the page. Shows you what the current 'live' threads are.

tortoisesdonotwearshoes · 07/09/2006 17:54

welcome hazlenuts.
just dive straight into active convos at the top.It will show you the most recent conversations or goto by topic if there is a specific area of interest for you.

Love idea of loft shopping!

I need to sort through ds clothes and give away the stuff that I don't actually like very much, bin the stuff that is in shreds and store the rest 'just in case' DH ever gets over the horror of ds's birth and agress to another one!!

hazelnuts · 07/09/2006 18:04

julezboo · 07/09/2006 18:19

Hey crazy people!!!

I have had this window open since 3pm, Just finished reading it and it all sounds exciting! I am 16 weeks pg and over the tiredness (have been debating Flylady since week 6!)

Although I think Im a saddo already as I always have a shiny sink! Washing in this house is a nightmare, as is toys! Plus we moved 8 weeks ago and still trying to unpack! But I am getting there slowly. DP didnt recognise the house when he came in!

Can I join you ladies...Just off now to sign up to flylady!

Julie x x

oh forgot to say I have a ds who is 4 and just started full time school, I could get used to this being in the house alone lark! At least till Jan when baby comes!

tamsino · 07/09/2006 18:20

Hi everyone,

I'm on day 8 but haven't managed to organise a journal yet. I do have a shiny sink though, i've sorted out all of our recycling and my kitchen is clean. just a few minutes to do a couple of the kitchen drawers later and i'll be done.

:-)

samnbabes · 07/09/2006 18:25

Hello all
Is this the most active thread on mn? Saddo city.
Did 15mins of clothes sorting - demolished 3 piles. Hurrah.

hazelnuts · 07/09/2006 18:41

Well I best go for a while and get the little uns bath and ready for bed. Dont like the early morning starts now. Never mind it will soon be the weekend. Talk again soon I hope.

singersgirl · 07/09/2006 18:43

I wear flip-flops sometimes, but bare feet at the mo.

Was no-one impressed that my sorting out led to finding all that loose foreign money in the house? We could live for weeks on it....

Thank you! I was amazed by how much I found!

SusiS · 07/09/2006 19:12

so! kids are fed, watered, bathed and in bed 'phewwwww'

found a single small spoon lying in my sink - how long will it take dp's to learn????

sofadiving is not working for us - found only some 'old austrian shilling' - nothing worth any more 'sentimental icon'

oh, and i did actually put all the washing away earlier 'woheyyy'

and 'clapclap' to all you rubbish-binning-clothes-piles-demolishing-ladies

big hello to all the newbies ... from a newbie
