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

Takes some Roses to the naughty corner and no I don't mean the flowers!

If I wore hair shirt for everything I forgot to do hills people would call me wolverine

Kitchen.living room and hall floors scrubbed on hands and knees with linen fresh zoflora

Washing sorted in to four huge piles.first one swimming in machine as I write

My problem is I keep acquiring crafty hobbies. I have cards for card weaving but no loom for it so I intend in the new year to build myself one. But then I have to figure out where to store it because my little table top loom is just not right for it and I need and inkle style loom And of course there is the associated learning/ pattern books and supplies that go with it

I hope you have some lovely squishables in that wool bag bower

I put the handwash socks in to soak about an hour ago andyou have just reminded me to go deal with them. Thank you

Wool tops/roving very, very squishable hills.

Ta dahs
I have washed all the kitchen floor.
I divided it in half did one half and then other with chocolate in between. Not been keen to push mop due to the pain/ probable hernia. I got DD to do it while she was here but it didn't look all that clean so I don't think she moved" stuff" but skirted around it.
Just need to put things back. Chicken feed can go in shed. I have been lazy keeping it in kitchenas she is usually at the door in the morning so I make her warm mash first thing. Bags on hooks banished to car.
Onto that kitchen table that still isn't clear.
Put clothes and stuff away is ok if you have somewhere to put it.
Knickers and socks I am ok with as space and organised so yes, however if you haven't got that space it is all about where will I put it and it gets shoved somewhere until you find it a space. It is easier in summer as no jumpers, thicker fabric etc. if I got rid of all the kids stuff it would help. I am loathed to re possibility of grandchildren but now think I should just sort, wash and gift. Loft is not great as the problem of bats and mice although we try with the latter at least DH is supposed to.

Popped out to shop(more dairy free this time milk)

Washed hairbrush hoard found down back/behind sofas other day(7)distributing one to each zoolets and telling them each got take responsibility for their own brush and hiding spares in my room.

Just go play hunt zoolets TV remote(again)
Washing in drier just bleeped so that needs fold n put away.hopinv to get another load done before lil zoo retires to put as they stacked on her floor and I have visions of laundry trampled here to billy-oo(experience)

You know I mean to bed not to put.......

I have cleaned every ceiling light in the house and all the door handles and light switches.

Timer and Flylady book arrived too.

at boy dungeon.

I also love Trofast. One day...

Ta da:-
Panto was fab and now we are at in laws waiting for a meal to be cooked for us .
DDs v well behaved which means they are starting to play up but the fact they behaved well is ace .

To do:-
Go back home
Bedtime routine etc
Depending on what time we get back, decluttering

Wow lisette, v impressive!

Thank you Toostressy. (I can't remember cleaning the door handles often 😳)

Lisette I too am very impressed
Toostressy yay for well behaved kids and someone else cooking dinner😊

Zoolets fed(pasta with kale and peas and cheese.left over vanilla sponge.apple.yogurt)
Didn't find TV remote so it's my choice and at my volume tonight(quieter than they would chose) me thinks tomorrow they may be hunting and a hunting hard for that remote😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh dear re remote zoo.

Well their behaviour at dinner was terrible but the important thing is they were fab at theatre itself .

Thank you Zoo. Glad you had a good day.

toostressy in full on public what matters in confines home/family ride it then forget it!!xx

We braved ikea and survived it. Although mum has disappeared with graph paper and tape measure whilst muttering

I have a plan, a little plan
So needles to say it will probably be ignored.

Bowers I just clocked that you said chicken feed, you have chickens?!
Glad that they were well behaved for the theatre Stressy
Zoo now that sounds like a very cunning plan to get the zoolets to find their remote
Fab list Lisette

Will appologies for name mispellings or mixups I can't scroll to see them

Ikea envy

A sod it, if I write it I will be held accountable.

To do list for the 31st:
Laundry
tidy my room
finish the pair of socks that are driving me bonkers.
clean the bathroom incl floor mopping

Or at least that is my plan...

Give them a bag each to tidy as they go! Result. Two hours do you think?
Yes, hills I have chickens well just one now until I get some more in the spring. She is a bit lonely so is making more effort. If she was a human she would be Mavis from Coro.Lisette 🙈 too much. Every light and switch. Wow!
Toostressy sounds like a good day. They can't be good all the time.
Hills let me know if you need a spinning wheel / loom. My friend has quite a few, she can't resist a bargain or a charity shop find. She sorts them out then resells or keeps till she finds someone interested.
She is really good at spinning, weaving, felting, sewing, knitting...
She buys fleeces then washes, spins , dyes ...
I do a bit of drawing , painting and felting, a very little bit of knitting, crocheting
Well kitchen looks a lot better. Table clean and just a few things on so I will put in car tomorrow. Worktops and cooker clean, fridge wiped out and DDs leftovers binned as over time. Found a grim pitta bread of hers.
Sitting room tidy and fire good with enough logs and eggs for tomorrow. Dining room semi clean. Will finish off and dust tomorrow. Now if I can just keep it like that I can start on bedroom, then craft room. It isn't pristine but it will do me

Puts some Divine dark chocolate and ginger for the dairy free yum!

Just made a baileys tiramisu to sit in the fridge until tomorrow night. Looks delicious. Mmmm.

Still no flying, and that's the last of the Christmas baking. I feel a bit sad about that, but perhaps I can get DD's skirt and jumper finished for her birthday next month with less cooking to do. I find all this craft talk quite inspiring. I used to do loads before I had a second baby. That knocked most of it on the head.

Perhaps we could set up a flying craft monthly thread. Just a "I have used this stash to make or I have made this present." I don't know how to do photos but I'm sure lots of you can. It might spur us on to get things finished. E could inspire each other.

On another note I have slept from 11 - 3:15am yeah! Must have been the alcoholic ginger beer and the glass of spicy gin.

Ds3 up at 430 luckily i was asleep before 11

I cant do crafts
Im not even good at cooking

Only thing i can make is babies

Bet super cute babies afresh
I can knit.want crochet this year

Bloody wind howling woke me a couple times in night-didnt help was midnight before went sleep

Kits demanded breakfast 630
Hoping dd2 not planning see in new year(DP always works it as we don't drink so I normally don't bother sit up.it will happen whether I am awake or not!!)

Eldest two here will be staying up for new year, last year they crashed about 1230

Dd will no doubt want to stay up but wont be able to. She usually sound asleep by 8. Hopefully she goes sleep early because shes one of those kids who is always up before 630 regardless of staying up late.

Im not really a drinker, i may have one or two on a special occasion but not been pissed in many many years. I cba feeling crap the next day.

Ta da

Dryer on
Dry washing sorted into piles
