i'm managing the shiny sink thing. plus a few other bits. but honestly. i have to hunt for the odd actual email that needs to be read. why does she have to send sooooo many emails?
yes, i know i can include it as part of a digest, but i thought that wasnt the poitn?
i am NOT laying out my clothes for tomorrow. simply not in that place, or state of mined, and iwill never be.

UANBU
Unsubsubscribe and join the flylady thread instead

I do not lay my clothes out ..they are put away properly and I pick them in the morning (takes ooo about 10 seconds)

pukkapatch · 11/01/2008 10:55

exactly. if clothes put away properly, it doesnt take any time at all to get them out int the morning.
yes, i think i shall have to unsubscribe.
the control jouyrnal thing is a bit faffy too. i have an organised mum boook. and i have other things to do in life than just follow her insturctions.
love the shiny sink thing though. it means that i actually dont mind walking into my kitchen. its isnt the pigsty it used to be.

I use googlemail and direct all her emails to a different folder, and I look there now and again

often I delete them all but other times I look at them and they are quite helpful

I have to say the fly thread on mumsnet is far more frightening to me than any of her emails

Cappuccino · 11/01/2008 10:58

and my control journal saved my skin

I got really ill a few months back and dh has had to take over everything

I would not have known where to start about what to do, even though I did think it was an insane thing to be making when I did it

lol. You can change your subscription settings to one daily email. This lists all the emails in a oner. Can't remember how to do it exactly, but that's what I did.

Cappuccino · 11/01/2008 11:13

she sent out my testimonial the other day

non of the infidels on the fly thread received it because they had cancelled her emails

gibberish · 11/01/2008 11:15

Aw cap. I'd like to read your testimonial! Could you mail it to me?

Capp. Go on. You know you want to!

TheMadHouse · 11/01/2008 11:56

I am an ifidel of the fly thread.

I just use the bits of the thread and never get the e-mails.

I have a spreadsheet instread of my control journal and it works for me.

Also I do layout our clothes, well mine and the boys. If DH is up with them, he gets them in to them, which saves so much time.

also I just jump into mine in ht eam - no thinking about it

Scramble · 11/01/2008 11:57

well you are wrong with your judgemental sweeping hand

I have no issues I am refreshingly issue-free

I just get very bored deciding which housework to do so I get flywoman in to decide for me

I have better things to do with my intellect

like discuss on mn about whether Thomas de Quincy had a large cock or not

gibberish · 11/01/2008 12:41

I have issues with you suggesting I have issues Cod...

Cappuccino · 11/01/2008 12:41

gibberish have you listened to Eric Dodge

I draw a line at that one myself

gibberish · 11/01/2008 12:44

AAAAARRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH! Just googled him and got the damn song blasting from my laptop - cant work out how to turn it off!

Cappuccino · 11/01/2008 12:44

mwah ha ha ha

He is no Tim McGraw is he

gibberish · 11/01/2008 12:46

Actually some of his stuff isn't bad

Cappuccino · 11/01/2008 12:47

even the stuff about housework?

gibberish · 11/01/2008 12:47

lol nooooo!

My best friend is due on the 24th and is calling her baby Toby (she knows she is having a baby). I'm sure she's naming him after Toby Keith.

gibberish · 11/01/2008 12:48

LOL No the housework stuff is pants
