NO. What is it? Is it about flies or ladies?

My sister bought me the office in a bag, which is totally impractical. I got two of the magnetic backed notebooks, but the magnet came off of one. Really, I would be wary of buying anything from them. I do love the site and all the rest though.

NO.

Save your money and buy something for yourself

Organised mum calendar is quite good as an§alternative, but I have seen cheaper versions of that around, too.

I have two books, the original Flylady one is good enough although you can get the same information from the website anyway.

The one in Body Clutter is quite a disapointment you could easily see they are 2 amateurs on the subject trying to forcefully apply the tried and tested principles for home maintinance to the body. Even at the end there is a ridiculous diatribe by the flylady that demosntrates so well that no matter how much talks about dealing with body clutter at the lenght of the book, she has not yet come to terms with the outcome of it (if there was such outcome for that matter)

I was getting that feeling while I was looking through it all. Most of it I thought I could source myself - why by a flylady timer etc Have had an organised mum one but wasn't that impressed, much nicer cheaper ones out there.

Just wanted to check I wasn't missing something

I too was mistified at needing to buy a new timer ? I use my oven's timer

Haven't bought into the idea of a control journal/office manager either

In my mind its more clutter

love the website but love the flylady thread on here more

You can get the magnetic calendars from ebay for a fraction of the price too.

I have printed a months calendar and stuck it in a plastic sleeve. I was planing to stick it to the fridge with magnets and use a non permanent pen... ha ha! alll good intentions as I can not find it anymore, must have gone with the rest of the clutter me thinks.
