Today we finish the first week of our CHRISTMAS MISSIONS.... 5 down 25 to go!!

If you're joining us for the first time that doesn't mean you're late, you've missed anything or that you can't join in.... you can!  The more the merrier.

First we need to ensure we've done our MR, we've eaten, washed, dressed to shoes,  tidied up after ourselves in our bedroom, bathroom and breakfast table.  Where's your laundry?  Do you need to get on a LOL? Do you need to fold or iron the dry? Do you need to put it away?  Just move it on to the next stage.  🩲👚👕👖

What's for dinner? Can you defrost something?

Once you've done your MR, complete the rest of your WHB if you're not yet finished or spreading your tasks one day over the week.  Then 15 mins of ZONE 4 DECLUTTERING or CLEANING in your SLEEP ZONES using your WHB list as a guide.  Remember to be logical, start with removing the sheets if that needs doing, then featherdusting, dusting and polishing surfaces and furniture, windows, mirrors and other glass, then vacuuming (you can include the bed in this before you put the clean sheets on!)

Todays ZONE MISSION is to change your sheets or strip the bed down,  flip the mattress and remake it with extra attention to fluffing pillows and making it look pretty and inviting to climb in to.  Some people like sleep sprays, others like extra weight on their feet from a bedspread, you do what suits you.

Our DAILY FOCUS is a quick upkeep clean of the car, to clean out and refresh every bag that returns home today ready for Monday and....DATE NIGHT!  My husband is out tonight so I'm having date night with my 17 year old daughter, we're cooking something special together.  We'll set the table with candles and maybe watch a soppy Christmas film afterwards. 

Our 5th CHRISTMAS MISSION tentatively corresponds with BAGS DAY as it refers to our purse!  We're going to add 2 things to our planner.  One is a sheet for budgeting and the other is an envelope for receipts.   On your budget sheet write some headings with space underneath to complete it.  You need to think about things like gifts, food, travel, cards and postage.  Discuss this with anyone you might need to and decide on a budget for each area and your overall Christmas budget.

Don't forget your PAMPER habit today.  What will you do?  This morning I'm popping to see an elderly friend for a coffee.  She does me as much good as my visit will do her...perfect!

ER is the bookend of your day....after your main meal, get the dishes and pans cleaned,  wipe down your dining table and worktops and give your sink a quick clean round.  You could even set your table for breakfast ....or set up your coffee making for the morning ....or put a load of laundry on a timed wash to finish as you're waking up in the morning...get ahead of yourself! 

WOOHOO! 🥳  Week 1 of CHRISTMAS MISSIONS accomplished! Hyggelig Christmas here we come!! ⭐️

See you for a quick round up tomorrow, for now....
