The best thing about FLYng here is that dp comes home and smiles/compliments me on how nice the place looks. A bit pathetic really but when it is a mess, it puts him in a bad mood and it rubsoff on the whole family, so we are all happier now. And I am feeling quite proud of my home, instead of embarrased by it

Happy Birthday to Luda's DD1 for tomorrow.

Have skipped ahead on the babysteps, and day 21 looks good. I like todays "Ask Flylady" oh wise one we ask thee to solve our problemos

SlightlyMadSweden · 11/09/2007 22:00

LOL at that link....so if we wear shoes all day we will wear them out within 3-6m ....I think I will stick to going shoeless...

My kitchen looks quite a bit better now. I have washed up, loaded (old) dishwasher....re-organized my hotspot into a single pile.

Sorry I must do more. DP was working until 9pm tonight, DTDs announced they had homework at 7pm, DTD2 doesn't sleep well until she knows he is home so I am mentally and physically exhausted ...in fact I think I shall be going to bed shortly, after checking up on the rest of MN....

I promise I will get my clothes out before I getin bed...as for anything else *^&( it

accessorizewithbabysick · 11/09/2007 22:03

My word I've a lot to catch up on. But, I finally managed to shine my sink tonight. That's it.

blossomsmine · 11/09/2007 22:10

Not been on much this week, working more or less fulltime this week
I have been doing my morning and evening routines, minus any hotspotting. Not doing any missions either.
I feel bad but i am just so busy with work and then kids in the evening.
I have just found out i have Friday off so will try to catch up then.
Hope you all get on well this week

ludaloo · 11/09/2007 22:24

babypowder · 11/09/2007 22:27

I know how you feel Bigbeer. I've been on the go all day, DH had an evening meeting, so even more time to spend doing housework , and then he comes home and asks me to fold shirts for his trip tomorrow. And he hasn't even noticed how clean the sink is ...

Tomorrow I will sort out my wardrobe, and put away some of the clothes that are too snall for DD1.

Night, all!

Jas · 11/09/2007 22:34

I promise, once you've been going a while, you will find a balance between the FLYing and the rest of life, so your home looks good, and you don't have to spend all day cleaning.

I like the kitchen SMS. If that is chaos, I daren't show you any of my pre-FLY pics

I hope you all have a great day tomorrow ludaloo
