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!

Feeble wing flaps from sick bed. I have high temp, shivers, bone ache etc. Really grim. Put some washing in downstairs and felt v wobbly. That's the extent of my Flying so far. Dh is here thank goodness and is walking furry. Frustrating start to month.

Clearly overdoing it sc when still not at full power.rest fir you my girl

All to do are done.need quick wash n brush up before dd1 arrives as i decidedly glowing from speed scrubbing

Morning all. I haven't really done anything yet this morning. I took my boy to school and its really sunny morning here so i took the long way home through the park just mooching about really and have come home and made myself a cuppa just carrying on this mooching around. I need a kick up the bum. Or angry rage cleaning. I agree, I do some of my best cleaning when i'm angry

Morning all, stocks naughty corner and passes medication to SC - take it easy there.

Need to dash out to the shops, just sent a couple of emails that needed doing and then need to plan out my week. Little bit of juggling required to fit everything in!

Back in a bit!

I don't find anger productive at all I just curl up into a ball of rage. Like I am now, super grumpy!!!

Rest up sc

put marrow bones on to make stock

Another one agreeing that paperwork focus will be good.

Oh and I won't, I am afraid, be giving any clues to previous name as it was NC or leave mn Sorry.

mysterious Hills through the keyhole stylee in a way

claire we offer a pointy stick -----> if you need poking into action...

Welcome back hills

Thank you all . Felt wretched last night but I hope I will be better by tomorrow; got do much to do!!

A warm welcome to Betsy86!

Lovely day here too Goldenclaire winter will soon be here - enjoy the park while you can! (Sorry, not v chore motivating!!)

Wow Zoo you have had an amazingly productive morning! Enjoy your dd1's visit! Sympathies re: dd2 warring. As you know, dd was v difficult when she was 12 & 13 yrs; like the hormones had hi-jacked my lovely smiley girl and turned her in to stroppy alien (sounds awful to say it but true). It really was bad and I got really worried at one point that things would never be the same again. It is so much better now at 14 yrs, I can hardly believe it, she is a delight to be with every day - back to her old self - in fact it is so good now that it makes you realise how bad it was at the time ifysim!! Just splurging all that to say, you think it never will, but this too shall pass . Don't take it personally; tis ze 'ormones speaking!

Having said that, agree, angry cleaning can be v productive!

Sorry you are feeling grumpy Cag the food thing must be a pain when you have so much else on! Good luck with your busy day! And good luck with leggings hunt!

Afreshstart good luck with your busy week! 4am wakenings must be even more excruciating once you have had a small respite from them.

Oncewaswhomy preferred method of paper filing over the years has been "shove in cardboard box until no longer relevant, then get out again and shred" . Trouble is, I am behind with the shredding! Guess I could do some paper sorting from sick bed actually, now I come to think of it ... .

Thanks for links Cotswold and good luck with juggling!

Waves to Toostressy, GingerIvy, Honu , Foxes, Longtime, Pickledsausage and everyone else!

Xpost!

Welcome back Hills. [strokes metaphorical beard and ponders]

WowFoxes that all looks v organised! Early tea breaks always a good thing in my book! Good luck with home bleugh!

You shouldn't give me a pointy stick. I will just end up annoying people else

Ok i have washed the dishes and wiped down the kitchen tops. Bleached the kitchen sink too whilst i was at it. I emptied the kitchen bin. I have made the beds. I have put bleach down each of the toilets ready to be scrubbed. I have picked up a few bits of clothing and toys from the lounge floor. I have put a washing load on. Just having a cuppa tea before i carry on.

You're welcome

Can someone remind me to order window sealant tonight? Bloody draughty in this old house without it. TIA

haha theres others above who have done way more than me this morning The munchies are appreaciated. I'm sucking on a lemon sherbet at the moment though

Ok i have now cleaned the toilets and wiped over the basins whilst i was at it, put new towels in the downstairs loo. I have also tidied a bit of paperwork that hubs left out in the bedroom.

Pointy stick at the ready to remind Hills

Hello all, feel very behind on the thread so just going to jump in. Hope you are getting lots of rest SC and lovely to hear about how lovely your DD is .

Ta da:-
Some laundry (still a ridiculous amount to put away)
General tidy up
Watched a school assembly

Go straight to activity

Also forgot on my list swish and swipe bathroom.

Ta das
Got cash
Went to the shop
Picked up parcel

You've got loads done Goldenclaire despite duct tape intervention by Hills . Seriously though, don't be swayed by what others have (or in my case, haven't) done on here. Short, sharp consistent bursts are key so you don't burn out!

Good luck with extra-curric activity logistics tonight Toostressy! And thanks for kind comment re:dd. I spent such a lot of time on here whinging about her teenage strops a while back, it is about time I redressed the balance now she is back to her old amenable self .

She's just got back from school and we've been cackling over her English lang hwk (she is v popular with classmates atm who ask her for answers which is a reversal in fortunes for her when usually it's the other way round!!).

Attempted some paper sorting in bed but fell asleep! Need to do some now I think!

Ta das
Hoovered
Mopped
Swish and swipe bathroom
Dusted upstairs
Emptied upstairs bins
Finished daily routine
Hoovered porch and sorted shoes
Cleaned front door

Is it bad that I can't change the bed sheets because I already have far far too much washing in the basket ?!

I want a shebert lemon...

Bit of a mixed bag day, but saw consultant and she is happy for me to stay unmedicated as my blood sugars are great :) :) :)
