I recently joined FlyLady because I feel so overwhelmed by the state of my house. There is just everywhere, and the place needs cleaned quite thoroughly, but FlyLady walks you thru Zones and tasks, and makes it all seem less - overwhelming.

She calls it CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) and that is exactly it - I hate it when folk come round because the place is such a flippin pit!

Anyway, I have been a member for a week now, and my kitchen looks fab! This week is the family bathroom and utility room. Today's task in the utility room is something that I do anyway, so I have already achieved that. Which is excellent because it makes you realise you aren't such a slut after all :))

I don't fancy today's task in the bathroom though. The wiping down all the horizontal surfaces is fine, but it is also wiping round the outside of the toilet bowls. Any readers with boys in the house will know what a lovely fun experience this can be.

I've been recommending FlyLady right and left to my IRL pals and they reckon they are going to check it out. I don't like the 'God Breezes' (I'm not a godly person LOL) or the Testimonials (who cares what some other woman has done in her bathroom today?) but I just delete them and deal with the actual cleaning stuff.
