I joined yesterday too - my sink is SO shiny )))) And she's right -

looking at that shiny sink is really satisfying. (hee hee how sad that

sounds LOL). I've been very, very slovenly recently but am now inspired.

I have heard both good and bad about Flylady (did you know

there's a yahoogroup as well, but like Announce, they send

you messages and there's no discussion - and 'no whining'

apparently, either).

Some say it has sorted out their homes and lives. Many

people I have heard talk about it have wanted to know where

to find the detailed instructions for the other able-bodied

adult in the household.

I think if you're not sure where to start, they can give

you a push in the right direction.

But until they come over and shine my sink for me each day

(and what do i care if my sink is shiny??), I'll just be

slovenly

P.S. I think the poems that someone posted are copyrighted,

etc and you'd have to ask permission for your newsletter. I

wrote a similar one (before seeing these, I swear!) a few

months ago, if you'd like to use that. It's in the shared

files here on coffee under Poetry for Mums (or something

like that). It is available for use in all NCT branch newsletters.

Yes Phyllis, it's great if it works for you and if it doesn't you just

leave. It works so well for me that not only is my house cleaner and

tidier, I am definitely more organised and more importantly I have more time

for the kids. I don't quite understand how that works, but I guess by doing

a small bit everyday I feel more on top of things. Also I feel I'd be

living in complete chaos with three boys aged 4 and under if I didn't plan

things a bit more carefully. I love it, but I can see that it would not

appeal to lots of people.

I have to confess, I have joined. Today I have dressed myself from top to

toe (no, really!), shined my sink, and made some beds - I *never* make

beds!! I've also wiped down the outside of my fridge and oven. And been

to a kids' activity class, spent a couple of hours with a customer, cooked

lunch from scratch, ditto tea, spoken to Caro (briefly) on the phone,

packed up orders, filled, washed and emptied the dishwasher, been to the

bank/post office, and lost temper with DS. I feel good about the shiny

sink )

Vicki do you work from home?

Sounds uncannily like my day!

Kate

P.s not got round to the full on sink shine yet-maybe tomorrow.

[Guest guest]

Have you submitted to Yahoo or Inkatomi-do you think UK shoppers use them-any

advise greatly appreciated.

Yes! I'll put the .sig below! DH is impressed with the clutter-busted

kitchen and only one " But where's...? " question so far!!

At this point I'd like to recommend that Debbie in Perth, Australia,

doesn't join - the time diff is just too much!!!

You get up to millions of messages of how much housework to do and then

get no messages all day!

That's the bad part of a 14 hour???? time difference!!! (How many hours

are you ahead of the UK now? i *think* Melbourne is 11 but not sure)

Kate, help! I can't work out who you're asking what to? Please can you

leave enough of the post you're responding to for us (well, me - no

memory!) to know what you're asking??

Thanks

Vicki!

Sorry I was having a problem with my mail which is now sorted thank to Angi

(I think)

I am trying to increase traffic through a commercial site to uk shoppers and

wondered if you think Yahoo and Inkatomi are worth paying for a listing.

Do Uk on-line shoppers use these search engines?

I use Yahoo but hadn't heard of Inkatomi, I also use Ask Jeeves and someone

recently recommended Google to me.
