5.0 out of 5 stars thankyou flylady., 18 April 2007

By	Mrs. D. L. Cox (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i found flylady via an internet forum. i quickly reralised that the system was for people just like me. my home was full of things i couldn't bring myself to get rid of. it was cluttered smelly messy and embarrassing. visitors had to phone three days before arriving so that i could tidy and i was always having to buy the children new socks and stuff because we could never find a pair.

one year on and thanks to sink reflections we got rid of four car fulls at least of items we didn't need. i have a wardrobe that contains only clothes that make me feel great and they are sweet smelling and ironed. my laundry baskets are empty and my cupboards are neat and people can drop by without warning and i can make a cup of tea straight away. i can even make dinner without having to clear a space. and guests can even go to the bathroom without me panicking about what they will find.

to say this book changed my life is a bit of a cliche but it is true. kim and aggie can clean your house and so can anthea turner but without the simple baby step routines of flylady you will find that very soon the dishes will pile up and you will be back to chaos in no time.

after years of heartbreaking spring cleans that lasted a week, my home has now been clean and tidy for near on a year. getting rid of unnecisary clutter and washing clothes regularly means that we were able to justify spending a little more on less clothes etc. instead of filling the bedroom with badly cared for primark stuff we have fewer clothes that are of better quality.

i wish that i could share this system with as many people as possible. you really can go from bedrooms with rotting pizza boxes under a two metere pile of clothes, and kitchens where flys manage to lay eggs on the chicken bones you should have thrown away on sunday to a home where you never have to do a deep clean again, where everyone has fresh clothes, clean plates on demand and even ironed sheets. and a sweet smelling toilet that never needs heavy chemicals again.

if i can do this then i am convinced that anyone can.

flylady certainly knows what she is talking about so you wont feel like you are being preached at from someone who was born organised. in the book she talks of a room where she had to go in everyday and put just two things away each visit because it was so bad.
you als don't have to launch into a cleaning frenzy as she starts with small and simple easy to follow tips that turn into automatic routines.

you don't have to buy this book because the flylady.net website gives you everything for free. under the section titled flying lessons. but it is beneficial to have it down in book form. my copy has been opened so many times that it's starting to look a bit worn.

if you are living in shame at the state of your house and you don't know where to start, it's not because you are lazy it's just that you don't know how. please buy this book. you really will be amazed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby steps to domestic bliss, 22 Aug 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sink Reflections: Flylady's Babystep Guide to Overcoming Chaos (Paperback)

Some people glide effortlessly through their days, born with a natural flair for organisation and a measured approach to life's chores. These lucky people do not need this book....congratulations to you!
BUT if you have ever wished for a 36-hour day so you can fit in all the things you need to do - work, family, chores etc - then "Sink Reflections" will help you.
If you have ever been so overwhelmed by the household tasks facing you that you give up before you start, then Marla will hold your hand and encourage you to spend just 15 minutes on the task...and then STOP, whether you have finished or not!
There are lots of useful tips, and motivational techniques in this book - but the key thing is to take BABY STEPS...
The author describes her own experience of depression and helplessness, and the slow yet steady progress out of this state by taking each task 15 minutes at a time.
And you are encouraged to clear out the junk & clutter that has built up over the years, by Marla's firm but friendly alter-ego FLYlady. She takes a dim view of whining and whinging, and makes a great drill-instructor/fairy godmother for those of us who need that little extra boost. Try it - you have nothing to lose but your CHAOS (Can't Have Any One Over Syndrome)

5.0 out of 5 stars From Chaos to Comfort!, 10 Oct 2004

By	Ms. Debra Pym "debrajpym" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I came across this book though a recommendation which lead to the flylady.net website. Im a mother of 7 untidy kids and one disorganised husband and had almost give up all hope of tackling the chaos which was my home. Finally, between the website and the book, I have learned to take babysteps, establish routines and relax and take care of myself. Methods taught, like not doing anything for longer than 15 mins at a time, make jobs like tackling the piles of clothes spilling out of my kids wardrobe and across their floor possible. It teaches that there is no hurry; that your home didnt get in the state overnight and wont emerge from it overnight either. It teaches that doing things imperfectly is ok. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and in 6 months I have brought relative order to 4 out of the 6 rooms in my home. I havent killed myself and I love being able to let people in and apologise for the mess when there really isnt one anymore :)

A lifechanging book....worth 10 stars out of 5!!!!
