Evening! Lovely to see posts from soappie and AnW - hope you and yours are doing well xx

Welcome to the newbies.

I'm just updating my Challenge list as I appear to have achieved something!!!!!

Personal Challenges

Monday Trick or Treat
Nobody to share the flying but I did allow myself some time to cross stitch last night

Tuesday Do it different Day
I went a different way round the supermarket - does that count?!


Preparing for Winter Challenges

Monday the clock have gone back summer is officially over
I have so few coats and shoes, no scarves or hats and 2 pairs of gloves (which I don't wear unless I have too!!) that I don't swap around summer and winter ones. All are now tidy on the coat pegs / shoe rack so I hope that's enough!

Tuesday see the light
One torch in my bedroom, one in the front room and one attached to the boiler in the kitchen. Batteries in kitchen drawer. Phone also can act as a temporary torch! Candles aplenty in the front room (an assortment of 'flavours') and one lit tonight in many memories.

Night all, sleep well xx

Hi soappie Good to see you back here.

I am going to bow out for this week which is a shame because I am enjoying the challenges. I am going to have a few days away at my cousins but will be back Friday night so I can see how you have all done.

Evening all,

Hi Soappie & AnW's Mum & Kaz and any other new oldtimers i've missed. Hi to any new newbies too. :wave:

Nev and I have spent most of the day shopping, my feet are killing me now. I got 7 tops, a bra, a pair of pj's and a pair of jeans for myself in Matalan clearance for £18 :money:. I kept wandering roung saying " this top's £1, only £1 how amazing is that" then i found a bra for 50p :eek::T. We hyperventilated over the Soap & Glory in Boots but didn't buy one thing.

I got the boys to help me when we got back as the house was becoming CHOAS. They did the living room between them. Ds2 is usually eager to help and loves dusting and Ds1 will not do anything without a lot of hassle. But today Ds2 didn't want to help and Ds1 was all eager. I think the mention of pocket money helped.

Quick list update and then i'm going to bed

Monday - kitchen and dining room
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors
Clean the drawer and filter in the WM
[STRIKE]Wipe table and chairs

Declutter Mission

Sort through your tea towels, table clothes, napkins etc and get rid of any you don’t like or use. Check you can find the one you want for Christmas Day whilst you are at it. I have loads of really tatty tea towels that shame me when i hang them on the line but i hate new tea towels, they don't dry properly. I've got some that are 14 years old.:o I'm going to have to find some new one's that dry properly before i bin the old favourites.

　Personal Challenges:starmod:

Tuesday Do it different Day
Most of us are creatures of habit, do things in the same way all of the time. All this autopilot is not good for the grey matter or the soul. So today’s challenge is simple, try to do things a bit differently. If you always clean a room clockwise, then do it anti clockwise, always use the same mug get a different one out. Always hoover the hard floor, try sweeping it. I don’t mind what you do just shake it up a bit. I spent the whole day shopping which doesn't happen often and the boys changed who wanted to help and who didn't (does that count?)



Preparing for winter challenges

Monday the clock have gone back summer is officially over
Replace with gloves, scarves, woolly hats, boots and winter coasts. Check they fit and everybody is kitted out for the cold days which will be here soon. I need to get Ds2 a new hat and me some gloves. I found my wooly hat earlier. Ds1 is too cool for them, i've only just got him wearing a coat.
