Good evening everyone!
Last links for the month of November coming up believe it or not! That went quickly didn't it?
Apologies for my somewhat haphazard thread-running this month (thread ran away with me rather!) and many thanks indeed to Cotswold and Hills and Toostressy for having my back and filling in (or for offering to fill in) when I couldn't do it! 
Newcomers or oldies: if you have a spare moment during the day (and many of you definitely do not so don't worry!) please don't be backward in coming forward in offering to run the thread. It's proved to be (hopefully) a useful resource and support for those of us who are struggling with housework (for a variety of reasons) over the years and long may it continue! (I won't be able to be around as much next year so hoping to bring in some new recruits now 
!)
Although it may take a wee while to get the hang of posting links when you do it for the first time - it really isn't difficult (even I can do it for example !!) - and becomes quicker and easier as you go along. My only advice would be (if I may) always mention Fledglings in the title, and although we always welcome newcomers, don't put too much about enthusiastic house decluttering in the title or you will be inundated, and remember to include Honu in round-ups every so often (long-standing Fledgling, maths expert extraordinaire, and all round good egg) who has caring responsibilities and therefore (in impressively disciplined fashion beyond my capacity) limits her Mumsnetting to 15 mins a day inc this thread! Oh and for anyone who does volunteer - a few of us have easy "how to run the Fledgling thread instructions" which we can send out to you - ta very muchly in advance!
Right, handing over now to Hills for hectic December and to Toostressy for even more hectic January (if I remember correctly and if that is still ok. Don't hesitate to say if not and we will recalibrate!
Tally ho and love to all! xxx
The summary for Thurs 30th is available on the Flylady website here under "Today" and via the flight plan which should update itself automatically on a daily basis.
Baby-step no. 30 for Thurs 30th is here. Look at your calendar for the forthcoming month and organise cards and or presents! Particularly appropriate with Christmas coming up!
Btw newcomers fyi - the 31st step which we are obviously not posting this month - just talks about not getting bogged down by wanting to know everything about the Flylady system right at the beginning, it will all become clear as you go along! (Well clearer anyway!) The theory is that as your clutter goes away, you will find you have more time to do the zone detailed cleaning and the weekly home blessing hour etc.
Thursday will be our last day in Zone 5 : The Living Room, Den, Family Room (November 26-30) here.
Spend 15 mins decluttering the current zone.
When you have finished decluttering, the detailed cleaning list for Zone 5 (if you are at that stage) is here.
FYI we will be starting again on Friday in Zone 1: The Entrance, Front Porch and Dining Room.
Thursday's mission is : here. Last day in sitting room: have a detailed hoovering session!
The daily focus for Thursday is running errands.
The monthly habit for November is menu planning here!
Flykid's challenge: here (hopefully continually renewing itself).
