September Fledglings: the new term has begun!

[Greymalkin]

Hello all, the new term has begun! So I'm taking the register; everyone please sign in...

I will set out the opening post curriculum once my home internet collection is restored

Ooh look --> teacher's pet!!

Afternoon. I have been slack this week with logging into MN. I do from time to time veer off MN for a few days Anyway thought i would post a batch of ta das before the new monthly thread pops along.

ta das

made beds
washed dishes
cleaned bathroom (cleaned bath, basin, loo, mirror, window, door handle, emptied bin, new towels, cleaned window, mopped floor)
cleaned downstairs loo (cleaned basin, loo, mirror, window, door handle, emptied bin, new towels, mopped floor)
general tidy up

Not much else to report really in our household. Been quite a non-eventful week. Oh we did get a hamster last weekend so he is getting quite a lot of attention from ds this week. Hamsters are lazy. He leaves his little house for 20 minutes max then wonders back to sleep in his house for another few hours. Must be nocturnal despite ds attempts to coax him out He did seem to manage to knock off the ladder to his house last night which is suspended in the air at the top of the cage. No idea how he climbed back into the house or if he was just sitting in the house waiting for his ladder to be put back in the morning.

Hi all,

Ta das:-
Printed off lots of bits for my course
DC in bed
New job admin (whose idea was this new job anyway?!)
Tea in oven (rubbish microwave meal but still)

To do:-
15 mins on never ending preschool report
5 mins work on my course
Possibly 5 mins decluttering
Laundry
Empty bags etc from today
Before bed routine

To do tomorrow (more likely to do it if it's on here!):-
go for short run

Links for Friday 30th September: Here is the Flight Plan which will update daily and give you an overall summary.

Here is the Launch Pad with all the basic information and links to relevant areas of the site.

Baby step number 30: check your calendar for next month for birthdays etc. If you need to buy cards/gifts, note this down for your next ‘errand day’

The focus for Fridays is to declutter your purse, handbag and car day

We are on our last day in Zone 5, The Living Room. Spend 15 minutes decluttering here. If you have finished decluttering here is the detailed cleaning list

The next mission is to put something pretty in your freshly decluttered living room < drags out and dusts off an old Picasso masterpiece >

Our habit of the month is establishing a Before Bed Routine This is actually a really good habit to develop, as many of us can vouch for.

And a little bonus feature for this month: FlyLady's back to school tips

Right then, its been a pleasure leading you all through September. Its great to see so many newbies and I really hope you stick around.

SC has said she will guide us through October - for the newbies, usually what happens is the next thread leader sets up the next month's thread and posts a link to it on the bottom of the current thread. As soon as that link appears, we all trot off to the next thread.

So then, "class dismissed!" < Grey drops the mic, flounces off to naughty corner >

Foxes I absolutely feel like I just scratch the surface. Last night as I was getting ready for bed I cleaned the bathroom sink and window sill. This morning I cleaned the kitchen sink. But it feels like a drop in tne ocean of mess. It will all be dirty again before I make progress with anything more meaningful. If anything the clean and tidy corner just highlights how bad the rest of it is. Maybe I'm feeling too glass half empty just now.

Its going to be a busy day in the babble household. Well actually not in the house, as soon as the kids go dp will be sleeping and I'm of to breakfast with my friends who I've not seen for soooo long. Then I must visit my nan or she will hit me. Get some shopping in, and take ds1 for a haircut. He'll then go to his fathers, I'll have the weekly debate with the other two as to why they cant go to roller disco. And my other friend will be popping round for tea no doubt.

Delurking just to say thank you grey I've followed all the posts this month and might actually dare to start posting my ta das etc now I think I understand what's going on??? Although I suspect I'll realise I haven't a clue as soon as I start 😜 Xx

Hi all (SC here) haven't caught up with thread yet but just came on to thank Greymalkin hugely for leading us through September, which she did brilliantly .
