Sliced Wikizine

A few years ago, following a suggestion from an online friend, I signed up for a thing called Flylady This is a group/organisation/cult which offers assistance to the housework reluctant. The idea is, they send you regular reminders, tips and advice to help you get into a routine and even (can this be possible) enjoy it. In theory it sounded great, but from the word go I realised Flylady and I were going to have problems. For some reason, she insisted on calling new members Flybabies. Call me pedantic, but putting the words 'fly' and 'baby' together conjures up an image of maggots, which aren't a thing I like to be equated with. Deciding that maybe this was just a little quirk of my own I overlooked the maggot label, and set out on my quest for domestic perfection. Step one was to shine my sink, which seemed a little basic, but was easy to do. However, from there onwards it was a bit of a downhill slide.
