Fledglings fly into December to party hard.

[HillsBesideTheSea]

Morning.

Tomorrow is December 1st which means roll call for the fledglings and shiny new thread. It might seem a bit clicky but it is because it is a long term thread, park your arse in the naughty corner for moral support, natter and various delicious goodies. Oh and smidge of housework too.

We follow the flylady system HOWEVER we adapt it to suit the circumstances of our lifes and sometimes we ignore the slightly more fluffy/bonkers babysteps --because we can and there ain't no one the boss of us

For 😖 IPad!

[Bowerbird5]

Thanks Hills FO a great job encouraging everyone!

[Bowerbird5]

Happy New YearEveryone I wonder what this year has in store for us!

Keep flying lets get off to a good start. We can do it( it might take a while) but we CAN do it!

[HillsBesideTheSea]

I am going to confess here that I gave up with 1/4 of what was on the bedroom floor left to do and half the bathroom left to clean. settled in to watch a film. And the chores will wait until tomo. December was a blast happy new year to you all.

[CotswoldStrife]

[Afreshnewyearplease]

I have just been half asleep on sofa already!

[Stilllivinginazoo]

Thanks guys
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year(in case I do my usual view inside eyelids waaaay before midnight!!
Here's to a new year of decluttering chaos.chattung and the haughty corner of all our dreams!!🥂

Just caught up on thread. No, I will absolutely, definitely, not be volunteering to have a baby next year .

Re. hair, can’t suggest anything much more than a tangle teaser (I suspect you will always struggle with such long hair - would she cut it?) but also recommend Lush. I had really bad skin when I was pregnant and someone recommended Lush. They were amazing. If you go in when it is quiet (or even when it is busy tbh) they will really take the time to speak to you and recommend some ideas and even get you to come back and try something else if it doesn’t work. Also worth looking into the silicone thing.

[TooStressyForMyOwnGood]

Eek just remembered it is New Years Eve which means I need to do the thread . Will set up january thread before midnight.

Is she reacting to silicon in shampoo? It made my scalp very very sore and has improved significantly with a silicon free shampoo.

Everytime I think awww babies I open the door to the boy dungeon... It is enough of a cure.

Just waiting for the last load to finish in the washer
Bread in bread machine for posh sandwiches buffet to celebrate new year. People have friends but I am very much excused from being social.

room is half done, bathroom is half done. decluttering, de-christmassing and next phase of building work plan of action discussed. It was a calm conversation mostly but urgent to ensure good health to all in the house hold (potential issue with water supply )

Just plodding on with room for now and plotting which top I am going to split and pre draft for spinning later

[Stilllivinginazoo]

Fancy afresh must invest in some.she seems to have a very sensitive scalp too even massaging in shampoo when wash hair very gently is uncomfortable for her yet she's a trooper with grazed knees etc...

Courtesy of the missing remote(and a two hour device ban as I fed up of being ignored by all)dd2 has read a third of a book today.result!!must "help" the remote hide again very soon😂


Washed all lower floors as dd2 empty tumble dryer drawer outside on fifth ask and trailed mud all thru(sigh)

Tea tonight

Hills I love that idea! I think mine would actually have to be ‘relax’ - not in a sit down with feet up type way, as I actually get plenty of that especially with a slow feeding baby. I don’t mean relaxing my standards either (they are rock bottom as it is). It’s more about accepting my struggles (particularly mental health) which actually helps me be more productive and in turn more positive. The black and white thinking is such a huge burden for me, and I’m sure it’s the main factor in why I procrastinate so much. I’m really awful for not starting something because I don’t know how or when I can finish it, but I am finally learning the Flylady way of any progress at all being an achievement, and over the last few months I have managed a lot more because of that.

There are undeniably a huge amount of things that have to happen in the next few months, but relaxing about that is probably going to make them much more attainable for me.

Cag not Cat

[Sludgecolours]

Ah ha, it's not called the naughty corner for nothing then!!

Cat that all sounds really exciting and definitely achievable! Tbh, if your bedroom is the only room where clutter runs unfettered as it were, you are doing a lot better than me. (And I have craft materials in different places on three floors!). You can do it! And think how great it will be in your new place!

Zoo shouldn't be one to advise as I have resorted to cutting particularly resistant knots out of DC's long hair before now , and coconut treatment sounds excellent, but there was talk of Lush shampoo bars being good for helping reactive scalps and de-tangling on one of those "switching back to soap from shower gel threads" yesterday. (Sorry can't link with this device.)

[Cagliostro]

HELL NO 😂

[Stilllivinginazoo]

(unless you are offering another pregnancy by end 2018?😊)

[Stilllivinginazoo]

Erm.no cag(evil cackle) we shall leave them to go forth and multiply😂
