I’ve done it again

I’ve signed up to FlyLady to try and get some order in my house.

For those of you who have never heard of FlyLady before today, it’s a relentlessly cheerful American site packed full of hints and tips to get your home organised and is supported by a mailing list. The mailing list sends up to 20 emails per day to inspire you to get up and at ‘em. With snappy catchphrases and merry mnemonics the help is definitely there if you can take it seriously. My inner feminist is screaming out at how gender-specific the concept is, but with many satisfied users the idea clearly has merit. So we’ll see if I make it to the weekend without unsubscribing from the mailing list!

Tonight’s little anecdote comes courtesy of my lovely hubby. We’re trying the baby in a bed tonight for the first time since we’re going to need her cot in a few months for her sister or brother. Hubby went to check and make sure she was in bed, stuck his head round the door and looked faintly surprised as he confirmed that yes indeed, she was in her bed with her duvet over her…

… until he picked the other child off the floor and almost herniated a disc. #2 has gone to sleep in the baby’s bed (in which I suspect he is tall enough to touch the headboard and footer at the same time!) and she was asleep in the middle of the floor curled in a ball with the duvet around her. I suspect it’s going to be a long night!
