I never use to like Mondays but with your outlook of Mondays , I have now started thinking of it as my reset day lol. Absolutely fabulous 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️
Yay, love that, Averil! 🎉
Thank you so much Dianne, I was about to curl up in a ball and have a nap, cos it's a miserable day here in Manchester. But, then up pops your video and now I'm up doing my morning routine xx
Enjoy your day, SugarMagicCakes! 😃
This is super awesome. You GO Girl...!
Ever since working from home, Monday mornings are my absolute favourite day of the week, too. Never thought I’d say that :D
What a lovely bleu dishes!
And thank you so much for your support to help us Fly babies. This evening I got unexpected visitors. It felt so good that all was neat and clean😊 Btw I love it also for myself💖
I have been sick and have not been sick in like forever. Sore throat/earache/chills
The happy part is, the house was in such order that I was able to rest without guilt! I feel so happy to a have a simplified house now, with established habits and routines. I didn't get many things checked off last week, but I know that the zone will be back around. The house still looks great :) The area underneath our kitchen sink makes me smile now:) It is all thanks to you! 2 yrs in the running and your cheery examples continue to keep me in check. Will forever be grateful XOXOX
Woo hoo! And it is also down to your consistency, Julie! Thanks for playing along with me all this time! 🎉
Hope you fully recover soon. So glad to hear that your FLY Lady system made you feel better during your illness. I imagine you had the flexibility of shifting your focus to more self care. How wonderful!
@@eileencarroll6418 That's Exactly it😉Thank you for the comment! I feeling better as of ⚘Yesterday.
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you😊☕🍵🍯
Fawlty Towers was a great series - so many good episodes - but the one with "Basil the Rat" has to be one of our favourites. Lorna
Fun Fact: Did you know blue in the kitchen, most specifically blue plates/bowls helps you to eat less? It decreases the appetite, you feel full sooner and eat slower. That is why they use a lot of reds in restaurants and fast food chains because it has the opposite effect. Eat more. Eat fast.
My house is on autopilot for a week while I am visiting sons and grands in DC. My single son asked me to organize his closet here! I gave my kitchen and pantry at home a good clean and sort before I left. My ice cream machine is stowed until next summer! While in DC , I will be small gifting for our holidays. My son will help me with some online organization while I am here. Also I will purchase some treats while here in DC that are not available in Montana for hubs and son back home.
Great start of the week
I always declutter good food in November to give to the food bank. Surprisingly last year I gave a very large box full of food we weren't going to eat in the holidays and needed the space for all the seasonal baking
I just love the flylady system and thank you Diane for making it seem so simple. Love from Margaret. Ps I am still sea bathing this year.
Yay, nice to hear from you again, Margaret! 💦
Add 5 drops of a favorite essential oil to cleaning sprays already on hand. Christmas scents sound fantastic. I love orange and cinnamon.
I usually use lemon and lime essential oils in the kitchen, teatree and eucalyptus in the bathroom (and pretend I am at a spa shower) and vanilla in the bedroom/wardrobe.
Some people like lavender on their sheets. I prefer spice flavors. I put 5 to 10 drops of oil into plain water and use the spray to loosen wrinkles in my sheets and clothes. In mid winter I sometimes spray the scented water in the air over the bed just to add extra humidity to the air.
I have decluttered my cleaning products. When my baking soda in the fridge is done deodorizing, I use it as a sink scrub. Baking soda is also safe for cleaning silver. I use plain IKEA spray bottles to spray simple cleaners. Half-and-half vinegar-and-water with a drop of dish detergent and a few drops of essential oil makes a good all-purpose cleaner. I checked with the manufacturer of my quartz countertop and they warned that using anything acidic will slightly dull the finish over time. So. I use half-and-half water and rubbing alcohol on my countertops. And that led me to discover that 100% rubbing alcohol is really fast at dissolving oils on my stainless steel parts on my countertops, range and hood, and it drys streak-free. So of course I had to try it on my mirrors and I was surprised at how much faster I could do the mirrors and other glass. Simple, and no harsh chemicals.

Hi from New Zealand :) Diane you are such an inspiration. You and your videos have made a huge difference not only to my house but also my mental health. I get so down when my house is a mess. Now my house is a source of joy. Thanks again - Heather :)
Aww, so glad for you, Heather - and thank you! 🤗🖖
New Zealand's national bird is a kiwi, a flightless bird, and we call ourselves kiwis too.I'm telling my all friends 'kiwis can fly using the flylady system' :) :) :)
Got in from my first day back at school after the half term break feeling a bit blah...up pops your video...I have now tidied under my sink and filled my dishwasher with salt and rinse aid 😃👍🏻 I’m now ready to do my WHB... thank you so much for keeping me on track 😊☘️
Pom pom salute for you, Sally-Anne! 😁🎉🎉🎉
🤣 We say the Sybil Fawlty "Basil!!!" Too xx Thanks Diane for all you do. Kind regards.
I've been at this a while and this morning when I walked into the kitchen it was so nice not to feel overwhelmed at the idea of decluttering or cleaning it. Stick with the program, it works! Baby steps.
Yay, thanks for sharing your success with the system, Doginthehole! 🎉
I’m the same with buying spices for one particular new recipe and never use it again .Going to declutter what I don’t like or never use ...thanks for the reminder.
Love your cabinet drawers...so handy! You are so inspiring and full of personality!
Are they from IKEA? We are considering a kitchen makeover and are looking at their kitchen components! Thank you in advance!
😳 oh, my goodness! Now I feel a little pressure when you put Christmas in that perspective. 😆 The next time we’re in this zone will be full on Christmas mode! I 💗 Christmas! I’m gonna have a hygge Christmas.😁
A hygge Christmas, oh yes, you are, Dawn! 💖
I love spending these few minutes with you each day. I have a question. Why do you put salt in your dishwasher? I'm just curious. I don't have a dishwasher, but I've never heard of this. Thank you.
Softens the water.
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you, Diane!
@@DianeinDenmark is there a special dispenser you put it into or....?
@@madnessofmymind Yes, special dispenser...will be in the manual
I understand your point about not having to do 15 minutes, however, during the last two months I have been amazed at what I can accomplish in 15 minutes Monday to Friday and weekly home maintenance on Saturday. For me, it seems doable even after a busy day at work. More importantly I feel that I can maintain this level of effort 😃
Gmorning. Love starting my day with you. And I actually LOL when you said "my drawers" love ur personality . I also like when you repeat the zone number in Danish. I feel like I'm learning something and it sounds fancy. Lol. Have a great day.
Hi Kat! By the way, I always says the numbers in French (not Danish)! Old habit from my days of living in Luxembourg 😀
@@DianeinDenmark lol. Thx for clarifying.
Thank you Diane!!
I was wondering if you could do a special edition for cleaning pet areas before we get into holiday time. We have Thanksgiving coming up then of course Christmas, my favorite.
Many of us also have birds & would appreciate you sharing yours and your routine.
Cleaning water, food bowls & perches is daily ( & sweeping)
and bigger cage cleaning every other day for me. For dogs daily managing cleaning their feet after walks. Maintaining collars & leashes, washing beds and blankets, sweaters and coats.
Just a thought especially with your beautiful birds.
Good Morning Diane ,it’s Monday 4 October 2019 at 10:15am in Youngstown, Ohio USA
Love following you ...
Thanks for being here with that HAPPY FACE everytime I see you .👁💜👸🏻🎀.
I made my own 24 days candles set and just love it . But wish I could order one but just could not .. but thanks for trying to let me try . It’s something I really love ...
Ooops it’s 4 November 2019
I'm in PA, Mary!
Tuesday : Having fun, We will go out to lunch today with a gift card. Organized my son’s closet while he updated my phone and iPad. My Christmas card list is now electronic, in my Contacts and Notes section. Passwords are stowed as well. They are all backed up in the Cloud. ( This concept is hard for me to grasp.) A bit of holiday shopping for my Cruising Through the Holidays mission.
Jam jars under the sink?? No! Mine are on the top shelf of the cupboard my freezer is in, and I have never made jam in my life. 😆 Ok, recycling p.u.p.a.
LOL!
OK, mine are in my worst room of the house lol. OK, deal is done, recycled today lol.
My mom was stolen my tablet To watch Diane in Denmark i was at school Bad mom😘😂👍
New subscriber here, I found you through Natasha over at Around My Home. My Grandmother on my Moms side came here to the US from Denmark as a young girl with here family so I always consider myself half Danish❤️ ~ Shary ~ (Sherry)
Welcome here, Shary!
Thank you❤️
I love when my rice and bread have that extra sexy. 😅 Diane you are too much! Glad to see your spice collection too, I was curious if you just make substitutions with your recipes when it calls for a certain spice that you don't keep around? It's funny I watch this today because last night while cooking I got excited to see that my spice bottles were actually getting quite low, spices are one of those things that definitely take up space and aren't always rotating if it's not something one uses a lot. I'm working on sizing down my food supplies and getting a good rotation of basics so Errand Day is so much easier to accomplish in the the grocery. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Faië! Yes, I make substitutions all the time...the recipe is just a guide so I use whatever I have on hand 🖖
@@DianeinDenmarkThanks for the reply! I totally agree with recipes being a guide, they can be so helpful to give you an idea of what proportions to work with but the fun is getting to put your own personal spin on it 😊
How did you know about the jam jars under the sink 🙈 I always seem to end up with at least one there...no idea why 🤷😂
Ha ha, I used to do the same, Tracey! Now I put them in the recycling or give them to a friend (who does crafting/makes jam) 😅
I picked up that habit from my DDM who was a girl during the 1920's depression and a young adult during WWII rationing. Every jam jar was reused for storage or organizing sewing bits and bobs, screws, nails, etc. until on day, when there was more abundance, the jars were no longer needed but the just-in-case-habit continued out of subconscious fear. What cured me of this inherited habit was cleaning and decluttering her house to sell it when she became I'll. She had saved every bit of string, every twist tie, every bent nail. There were boxes of used gift wrapping paper all neatly folded for future use. My thinking was instantly transformed. I accepted my own abundance and became a ferocious-declutterer. And it took me another 5 years to let go of sentimental knickknacks after she died. But that's another story... 😉👍
I beat you to it, I put away my icecream machine last week 😁 😂
I love that smell of orange and cinnamon as well! All hygge (close to the Dutch feeling of “gezelligheid”). I use essential oils with that scent. When we go to Denmark at the end of the year I would like to buy a bottle. In which shop can I find it? I hope you will tell me although you don’t like to do affiliate links...
Hi Kelly! The large department store called Magasin (situated at Kongens Nytorv) sells Maison Belle products in their supermarket in the basement, on the cleaning supplies shelf. But I'm not sure if they have the Christmas version 👋
Question: you seem to really stress wearing shoes during the day. In my home we don't wear shoes indoor. We have carpet upstairs and downstairs we have rugs. Whenever I wear shoes I find myself needing to put them on and off every time I walk through my living room or to upstairs. I just wear slides in the kitchen. Wearing shoes seems counterproductive, no?
We dont wear shoes in the house either. I just have out a pair for when I need to go outside.
This is something that a lot of people struggle with when they find Flylady. The way I look at it is those shoes are like a work uniform. It puts your mind into work mode. It really works. I clean much faster when I have my shoes on, and it stops you hurting yourself if there is anything on the floor. I seem to remember Diane saying she has a pair of shoes that she just uses for cleaning. She doesn’t go out of the house in them so they are always clean and then she changes shoes when she goes out. If you try it you might find it works for you, it does for me.
Al Nis Diane has shoes that she only wears in the house. She never wears street shoes indoors. As for me, I just can’t get used to wearing any shoes indoors.
We don't wear shoes inside in Scandinavia either (only slippers, stocking feet or indoor shoes). I use a pair of indoor shoes (that don't go outside). They give me great arch support too...no more back pain! LOL! 🖖
I wear slippers or flipflops indoors most of the time, but shoes that won't fall off when walking backwards with the vacuum or climbing a ladder are much safer for me. I change to outdoor shoes to take out garbage/recycling. I wear gym shoes to go to the shared laundry room because I like to exercise while the washing machine runs. ❤🧺❤
Lol @ nigella seeds having no flavor but making breads and rice look more sexy. So basically it's the 💄 makeup for our rice?
I don't understand the salt in the dishwasher. Where do you put?
Check the manual of your dishwasher. Ours goes in the very bottom of the machine, unscrew a big cap. 🖐
Diane, wear your white jacket with that blouse! Love you.
Hi Katz! Do you watch my videos? I like to keep my outfits varied ..I wore it with my winter white jacket last time 😁 ua-cam.com/video/aLhYJWBsEzI/v-deo.html
And in the summer months I pair the stripey red t-shirt with my red trousers 👋😄 ua-cam.com/video/bgeDP8-KpqY/v-deo.html
@@DianeinDenmark LOL Every. Single. One. I never miss. I love your variety. What I left unsaid in my initial comment was that the pure white of the stripe in the shirt make the cute jacket look dingy. In this video, it looks like a T2 white. Take a look at what I'm talking about.
Explain the salt in the dishwasher, please.
You unscrew the big cap (usually at the very bottom of the machine, close to the rubbish filter) and fill it with dishwasher salt (not ordinary table salt). Check your dishwasher manual for details 🖖

Showing us all what's in your drawers? While you pupa no less! What kind of channel are you running? 😂😂😂
