Swish through September 2019 with the fledglings - Flylady thread

[ChicCroissant]

Let's swish and swipe our way through September, decluttering as we go with the Flylady! We have a mix of old and new fledglings and everyone is welcome to join us for chat and motivation. Thanks to Stressy for running a fabulous August thread!

The Flylady Launch Pad is the place to start each day - each week focuses on a different zone of the house to clean if you have decluttered it first (can't clean clutter) and you can also follow the Babysteps if you'd like to introduce one new element each day and build on that.

If you like to plan in advance, the weekly Sneak Peek will give you advance notice of the missions and zone coming up, it changes each weekend.

The monthly focus for September is making the bed.

Morning everyone!

Good luck with the workmen zoo !

Ta da
Everyone up , fed, washed, dressed and at school/work.
Wash done and out on the line
Another load in
Beds made
Dishwasher emptied
Breakfast pots sorted
Any dry clothes put away
Tackled a pile of clothes in my bedroom that's been there for ages

About to tackle the paperwork on the kitchen side but had to have a 2nd breakfast because I'm absolutely starving today (thanks Mother Nature for adding hunger to the long list of pms symptoms 🙄) I've got an hour until I pick dd2 from nursery , hoping I can get that kitchen side paperwork cleared and filed before picking her up !

zoo, yes I suppose that’s what this thread is really isn’t it - sharing our lives . With constant attempts at housework .

Speaking of, I’m going to do a power hour.

I was running the thread when Cagletini arrived, I must have been on here longer than I thought!

Morning ladies. I need to do a power week, not a power hour! Will step away from the internet reading for a bit and crack on. Catch you at lunchtime

yes I suppose that’s what this thread is really isn’t it - sharing our lives smile. With constant attempts at housework . Aye too right Toostressy and Zoo! That would make a good thread title too but dont want to encourage more snoopers than necess! !

Have started deep clean. Kitchen is very rustic and diificult. Hate the way dh treats a sink, a fridge and a bin. Why do men always let bins get so full that emptying it turns in to an awful job, necessitating cleaning of inside of lid etc? Bloody hate it!

Have been wielding the Dettox!

Ta da:
scrubbed out fridge
scrubbed kitchen bin and lid
scrubbed lads
did something unspeakable involving septic tank
did something unspeakable involving dog

Scrubbed lavs not lads

Have crossed some items off the list for once although my success in some areas has meant more tasks for tomorrow! Need to nip out to the shops and do the school run in the next hour.

SC I assume scrubbing lads is done on your own time,not this thread

Towels in tumble drier

Popping to the shops on the way to pick ds up, I've taken homemade burgers out of the freezer for and need some cobs/balmcakes/rolls/baps and some butter to make an apple crumble.

Sorry been AWOL again, busy weekend for once doing a few things for us, went out for dinner and to the cinema as well! Had a lovely autumn walk with the kids yesterday too, walked for over an hour and no whining from anyone!

Wow, doesn't time fly!! Ds was 3 recently and I joined just before I had him. ☺️ Can't believe it! Flying has fallen by the wayside for me right now I'm just doing what I can when I can but I love all the chat and advice on here, such a friendly bunch . And some of those flylady routines have actually stuck despite everything!!

I've just cleaned up two pairs of muddy boots and three pairs of trainers. One of those things I always put off doing but they've come up really nice! I might actually be able to hand the boots down to someone else now 😂

Wow Foxes ds is growing up fast! Well done re: the boot scrubbing!

Zoo yes I leave lad scrubbing for my leisure hours You certainly deserve that break. Cloudy and overcast here now too.

Tidy yum, crumble...

Dinner was delicious and a little bit of crumble left to fight over tomorrow!

I've got a basket full of dry washing to put away, dinner pots to do and tidy the days stuff away but I'm so tired. Maybe it's because I'm watching athletics and just watching all that running makes me tired for the athletes haha must get up and finish doing the chore .......

Sounds like a lovely weekend foxes!

I've got a bag of apples that need to be turned into crumble, I even bought the cream to put on but haven't made the crumble yet

Did school run, dropped DD at activity and did shopping. She has Food Tech tomorrow so extra bag packing and weighing to be done tonight or early tomorrow morning.

So much weather tonight! We have yellow warning for rain in our area.

For me tomorrow craft class, have to exchange DD's musical instrument and the ongoing laundry battle

As the final day of September draws to a close, I'd like to say how awesome you've all been this month and we had two babies as well (is that a record?) I'll probably be back later on tonight but it's been an absolute pleasure

Aw you've been a fab thread leader Chic

And yes , I think two newborns in one thread is a record isn't it?

Only 15 mins of September left so time to wrap up the thread - see you on the October thread (see link among the autumn leaves) fledglings!

Thanks for the thread chic and thanks sc for the new one, see you over there!
