Pumpkin spice and ghost abound, fledglings flying through the crazy

Right for this seasonal thread of the Fledgings, I invite you to pull up a comfy chair around the fire pit and pour yourself a mug of something that you fancy.

We loosely follow the flylady system and her babysteps. But we have our own spin, our own abbreviations and have been around for far longer than some of us would like to admit. If you are new to these parts welcome in, we'll get you up to speed in no time. But we have rules, yes rules!

Rule 1: No fledgling left behind.
life happens. If you fall off the thread, jump back when you are ready.

Rule 2: If you wouldn't say it to someone else, don't say it to yourself
Be kind to yourself, the world is still crazy, and life happens. Just do what you can, when you can.

Right that's the rules now for the fun part. Acronyms and autocorrects!
Amongst others (and there are others but we'll have to explain as we go along)
It's all gone a bit ponty pridd - tits up, pete tong, wrong etc etc we get to thank auto correct for this
WOW wash out Wednesday - humps days often don't go to plan and get washed out
LOL round these parts it is load of laundry

Urm... Yeah about that fire pit and comfy chair... Dibs on the big floofy one with fluffy blankies... Last one in brings the marshmallows!

Zoo loving the buffet foods! Very creative.

Willow yes, he turned one on 26th of October. I'm still not sure where the time has gone. Back to work in 2 weeks.. not sure how I feel about that.

Ta das:
🎉Kitchen sorted twice, DW rotated etc
🎉Hoover downstairs
🎉Mop the floors
🎉LOLx2 so far. Many more to go.
🎉Fishtanks sorted

Hills thanks a million for leading October. I have been absent a lot I know. Been a bit hectic here for the last week. Am looking forward to jumping onto November.

HillsBesideTheSea · 31/10/2021 17:58

ED happy to do Nov as well as I did coast for longer than i had hoped when I came back into the flock. Nov is one for establishing new routines so i am hoping that staying on top of the baby steps etc will help me.

Roads are flooded here. Hmm
