October House of Order - Fledglings flying through October 2017

[CotswoldStrife]

Order, Order! Do you have a little house of horrors? Welcome to the October Flylady thread where we follow the Flylady method for keeping our houses in order (along with some general chat and support). The monthly focus for October is paper clutter

I'll be posting links to the daily missions, daily focus and the zone cleaning - don't worry about the detailed zone cleaning if you haven't already decluttered, Flylady recommends decluttering first. Join us at any point this month

I'll post the first October links tonight!

Thank you

Just got back from a lovely day. Took me a long time to cheer up TBH but it was lovely and I had a really nice long chat with my friend about all the pregnancy/birth/gestational diabetes stuff (she has 4 DCs and is very anxious like me).

Got back and put a wash on and now watching a DVD. Thankfully have pasta to reheat for the Caglets.

Cag glad you had a good day today.

I've got a huge shop in, so spent quite a bit of time trying to get it all put away properly.

Trying to keep on top of general tidying, and waiting for my IKEA delivery this weekend.

Still very jealous of your ikea furniture Ginger. Glad you had a good day Cag.

Have tidied up most of house (of a fashion) except spare room which will have to be done tomorrow. Going to sit for 15 mins or so then bed. Night all.

Morning,

Cag glad you had a better day yesterday. Sometimes a good chat with a third party can do the world of good

Not sure how much of the chores i will get done today as we are going to the cinema later for kids club. They are showing Despicable Me 3

Dammit why can I never have more than one good day in a row? Feel shocking today, even lay down in bed for a bit earlier which I normally avoid. Have sorted a bit of laundry and DH is dismantling the Caglets' beds ready to be taken to the tip next week.

Oh Cag Hopefully you're have a better day tomo. Try not to beat yourself up about it.

Hi everyone! Lost you all while I was away. Will be back properly flying on Monday hopefully...

Cag . Glad you managed to go on holiday foxes. Thanks for links Cotswold. Wing flaps to everyone else.

Well it's the weekend and so far this week have accomplished absolutely no decluttering in zone 2 .

My parents are here which means zero flying. So far a bit stressful but not horrifically so. House messy though.

Option to hide collapse in bedroom with rubbish telly on my phone now and I think I am going to take it. DH already asleep and since things are going ok ish with my parents it is best to go to bed to be rested for tomorrow!

Take it easy Cag, things will wait.

I think we may have done our last school visit today, there was one more we wanted to go round during the day but they were already booked solid - we are on the cancellation list! So we might have finalised our list, which would be nice.

DH ordered and fitted some parts for the oven which has improved it tremendously (door issues on a slide and hide oven). I have decluttered in the kitchen because of the work that was done there this week, but only into the dining room Def need to edit and not put it all back!

Can't believe there is only one more week until the first half-term. Looking forward to the break from deadlines though!

Links to follow shortly.
