flossieteacake · 04/09/2006 12:07

Just arrived and read from the bottom...What's with all the gasping at people's messes and strange habits? If we all had perfect houses then we wouldn't have sworn allegiance to the FLYlady! Think we should all be nice to each other! In a while we will all be domestic goddesses! but you have to start somewhere!

coderoo · 04/09/2006 12:08

missdee youeither have too much food at one time or not enough room for it

flossieteacake · 04/09/2006 12:09

FLAMESPARROW are those reusable nappies that I can see on your airer? if so, you are amazing! thanks for sharing your photos! They make me smile, especially when you post the 'after'... you are an inspiration to us all!

Quootiepie · 04/09/2006 12:10

why oh why is there a sock on top of my fridge?

JessaJam · 04/09/2006 12:11

quootiepie!!

misdee · 04/09/2006 12:13

cod, not enough room for it. thats all my kitchen cupboards. the two wall units are for food, 1 and a hlaf floor ones for plates and pans, and one under the sink. half of one food cupboard is taken up with meds, despite have 3 lockable medicine cabinets.

the council redid it before we moved it, and did a very very bad job of it. i cant afford to replace the units atm, if we were going to be living here longer i'd consider ripping it out and redesigning it.

Quootiepie · 04/09/2006 12:14

its DHs!!! honest! he leaves stuff everywhere...

tortoise · 04/09/2006 12:19

flossieteacake i think we are all nice to each other.There would be no point putting a messy pic up and us saying oh yeah thats great.We are here to help each other and laugh at each others mess.I for 1 certainly dont mind people laughing at my mess.It encourages me to clean it.I would still be sat here not clearing the fridge and freezer if it wasn't for everyone on here.

Q A sock? lol!!

I found......

The drip that was in my arm when i had apendisitis(sp!!) when i was,wait for it,about 8!!! Should i bin it?? or keep it as a momento as i have done all these years!

SKYTVADICT · 04/09/2006 12:20

Right, i've finished my home blessing hour apart from making up DDs beds.

I really need to do 15 mins in the kitchen but has anyone had today's mission yet? I dont' seem to have had an email yet you all seem to be doing top of fridge etc. Do you know this coz you've done it before?

SKYTVADICT · 04/09/2006 12:20

Tortoise - bin it !!!

misdee · 04/09/2006 12:23

tortise, i'm sorry but thats foul lol.

just waiting for the all purpose cleaner to soak through the grime on the hob. then it will be lovely and clean again. YAY!!

JessaJam · 04/09/2006 12:25

Sky, I didn't get email either, it is a Kelly's mission for today...I got it from the website...

misdee · 04/09/2006 12:27

whats the mission, clean the front and top of fridge?

Flamesparrow · 04/09/2006 12:28

Tort - I would lean towards binning it... but there are some bits of stuff that you just have to be ready to part with - I still have programmes from concerts etc that I don't look at, but can't part with yet, but my brace has finally gone .

Yup to FTC - Cloth nappies. I breed kids with bulky bums and disposables just leak everywhere... I'm happier to wash nappies and not worry about stains than spend all day changing clothes and panicking about poo stains

And I'm used to people takin the p*ss out of my mess My fridge is looking lovely outside (inside needs doing)... and magnets are spelling flylady .

tortoise · 04/09/2006 12:28

It is in a sample bottle......
Am i losing it??

Oh and tool box is because im slowely gaining tools! I have my own drill[proud emoticon]!!!

Flamesparrow · 04/09/2006 12:29

Misdee - Your place makes me feel all like I am not alone I haven't got much storage now, but still have mroe than you (and have lived somewhere with less) - Its hell - if you want to do just a weekly shop there is always stuff everywhere

misdee · 04/09/2006 12:31

i've had my own drill for aghes, its hiding under the oven glove in one photo

I did just find the clips to put a blind up, quick 2 minute job and now my neighbours cant see my messy kitchen

JessaJam · 04/09/2006 12:32

fridge mission

misdee · 04/09/2006 12:32

the thing is flame, its actually a fair sized kitchen just cr*p layout. honestly, i think they just threw the cupboards in and watch to see where they landed. they didnt even leave room for a fridge freezer, so its blocking a window.

SKYTVADICT · 04/09/2006 12:33

Yes misdee its front and top of fridge - thats good coz I'm about knackered now and don't have a frige top and there is only one pic on the front!

Still need to start 15 mins decluttering. Think I will do a draw
