I used to be a fanatic knitter and belonged to KnitU. One day someone mentioned something called Flylady, and I went to investigate. WARNING: this site is not for the delicate of mind or stomach! The Flylady is a southern american woman, she is very bossy, and her spelling is weak. This site is about housework. And motivation. She preaches (and I choose the word deliberately) routines and babysteps. And I think that is the message, the whole message and ... Members of her email list are called Flybabies, and I think I have belonged for a couple of years now. Since joining the house has got a heap tidier and cleaner at times, and when it gets out of hand I know how to fix it. The other change is I have a sense of humour about the house. So the fact that my Dear Husband keeps his clothes on top of the drawers rather than in them doesn't usually Ccern me.
Said DH has always had this habit of closing my drawers if they are open - he reckons he will walk into them if they are open, and in our old house this was a valid Ccern. But in the last month I made the Cnection.
He doesn't like my drawers being open because he is afraid. He doesn't open his drawers because he is terrified. DH believes in drawer monsters!
