Morning all

todays babysteps are layout clothes You put out your clothes the night before. I do this for the children too and saves loads of time

start writing your routine down

Fly lady does this ion a binder. I created a spread sheet. The thing is to do it one way or another

Hello all and welcome to newbies

I've been flying on and off for about 10months now and I love it. I have a pukka pad project book with my routines in and also do meal planning and finances in it. Tis fabulous! I do tend to fall off the wagon occasionally and have to come crawling back so that the regulars can sort me out again but generally it works well. And my house looks SOOOO much better.

Right, had a manic day today so just done basic routines, a quick house blessing and a couple of loads of laundry. I'm trying to avoid using the tumble drier cos it's so ridiculously expensive so the bedroom does look a bit like a dry cleaners but other than that all is good. Just doing tea and then will start bathtime.

Swanriver you have been busy

Hippo the idea is to tackle things one at a time and find a home for it.

I have a sideboard in the diningroom too and it was a toal mess, it has taken about three months, but currently on top is

Pic of Me and DH, Pic of the boys
Microsystem
Candles
The boys clothes for tomorrow - I get them out when I go upstairs to shut curtains.

I am also now pretty carefull to keep tables clear, but I have to be as we eat at the dinning table

Hi All. Make sure you all shine your sink and get clothes out for tomorrow, and clear a hotspot if you see one.

Hello all. Am rubbish. Have a cold and all achey and painy, and have been trying to work and look after DS simultaneously today so have done nothing else.

But my sink is still shiny! Will attempt to get out clothes for tomorrow before I crash out.
