Yes this is the bonkers back to school thread. We welcome you to jump aboard for the ride. We are following the Fly lady system for taming the chaos (can't have anyone over syndrome). We are at various levels and there is NO obligation to follow it to the letter (we've installed a bar in the naughty corner for hanging out and relaxing when needed)

4 levels for flying:
Baby steps - good for finding a routine in the tasks and getting over the perfection crippling effect
Baby steps and missions - yep basic routine and more in depth tasks
Baby steps, missions, and deep cleaning - can't clean clutter so don't consider this one if you need the next level
Flying combined with a decluttering system (kondo/unfuck etc etc) lets be honest fly lady is good for routine but not so quick with the decluttering results sometimes.

So ground rules, yes ground rules it is September:

  1. Newbies - we are a long running but friendly bunch. We try not to seem clicky but it doesn't always come across as some of us have known each other on here for a long time, just join the chatter and you'll soon be a fledgling
  2. There is NO wrong or right way of doing this, it is about adapting the system to suit your life circumstances, which will be different from someone else's.

Linkies will be posted daily and will appear shortly. Until then, jump on board, enjoy the ride and there are still hammocks, sand, comfy seats, cushions, blankies and a full English on the naughty corner bar it is a Saturday morning, breakfast is earnt

Sorry to hear every one is having a crap day. Waves to newbie can we shorten your name ? What to?

I have actually had a better day.👏🏼 I got up a bit earlier ( for me on a Sunday) and had leisurely cup of tea. 15 mins sorting and shower hair wash then DH drove me to Mass, enjoyed coffee afterwards. Had short discussion with male friend about de cluttering.😀
Came home, had lunch then DH took me to choir without complaining about picking up two people😄 had a lovely time at choir. We have started our Christmas music. DH had shopped and had put dinner on and I have a glass of wine. Just been summoned and there is pudding😀

Aaah Christmas is the time of year I reeeeally wish I could be in a choir!

Going OK here, not done as much as I should but I will crack on tomorrow. If we all had a pound for every time I've said that, we'd all have housekeepers employed ....

Welcome married do join us on the October thread linked above. I'm just off to stake my place now!
