I decided this morning to check out the daily FLY to get my house in order! I'm loving it so far... Perhaps I should start on a less pamperry day!

julezboo · 27/07/2007 11:15

welcome suzi !

EHM i often say babywipes are the best toy I wouldnt worry about it, my DS did it and now baby DS does it too.

Ive emptied the dryer and cleaned the dryer and thats it. Someone give me a kick!

ludaloo · 27/07/2007 11:18

suzi2 today is a very good day to start...It could have been one of the "nothing says I love you like a clean toilet bowl" missions

Fire is lit (is there anything this woman can't do!?? )

Off to tidy toys

ludaloo · 27/07/2007 11:19

I've done the jobs in my front garden new plants are planted, and the garden is weeded. Too wet for grass mowing so that'll have to wait. Need to head into the back garden for more of the same but the kids are bored so it's being put off for now.

OK I have been trying this FLY thing but so far hardly managed to keep to steps 1 and 2 of the baby steps.

I have a 14 week old DS who is EBF and a workaholic DH who never helps with stuff around the house.

I find it hard to do the housework as I am either feeding DS or playing with him or doing childcare chores, plus am knackered due to 3 nightfeeds most nights.

I am not lazy and was formerly quite good with cleaning so I do not understand how people with small babies keep their houses clean.

I'm hoping this FLY thing will work for me if I stick at it.

The only thing is about getting "dressed to shoes" - we don't wear shoes in our house due to new light coloured carpets. Is it essential to do that or am I allowed at least to wear slippers?

julezboo · 27/07/2007 12:27

welcome shoobie

Wear slipper with hard soles thats what I do.

Flying is a great way to get your house in order.

congrats on your ds too

julezboo · 27/07/2007 12:28

EHM · 27/07/2007 12:38

welcome shoobiedoo. I wear socks or slippers I am not a true fly lady. I find the thread really motivating & I don't always do the missions. Thats mainly down to the fab group of ladies here. If been popping in & out since about Sept last year when dd was about 4 months. Good Luck.x

ludaloo · 27/07/2007 12:47

Hose is pigsty but I have followed morning routine of d/w, w/m, breakfast, clear away, shower, and now I have the lunch mess to clear up. DD2 is devouring sausages and as we speak....

FunkyGlassSlipper · 27/07/2007 13:32

FunkyGlassSlipper · 27/07/2007 14:05

Do you all know what you are having for dinner tonight?

ludaloo · 27/07/2007 14:39

I do...because I have just this minute finished cooking it!.....Lasagna....It smells sooo lovely I just want to gobble it all now!

I've been dead busy...all that is left to do id hoover, but I'm off to help DD1 find a moth!??? (don't ask)I promised her I'd find her one.

Bye for now xx

Oh and welcome scattyspice are you a teacher per chance??

ludaloo · 27/07/2007 15:00

Hmmmm....can't find a moth...she seems quite happy with a snail and a ladybird though! It has stopped raining and the sun is now shining so I have put the guinea pigs out in the run, and tidied the toys in the garden.

Oh, have just noticed....I was half way through emptying the bin LOL! (Got sidetracked as usual) better go and finish doing it!
