CHRISTMAS MISSION #15

GOOD MORNING FlyFriends on this FABULOUS FRIDAY!!

The last day of week 3 of 6!  Can you believe we are half way through the 30 Missions!  Wow, doesn't time whizz by.  15 down, 15 to go!! 🥳💪🏻

Your shorthand for today's FLIGHT PLAN is....

* MR

* ZONE 1 - WELCOME - DECLUTTER OR CLEAN

* ZONE 2 DAILY MISSION 

* DAILY FOCUS - CAR & BAGS DAY 

* CHRISTMAS MISSION - #15

* PAMPER TIME 

* ER

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 kitchen?  That'll be the house basically sorted.

To round off your MORNING ROUTINE  ask yourself.... 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. 🩲👚👕👖  Have you got a meal sorted?  Can you defrost something or pop a meal into the slow cooker?

As you move around the house tying up the loose ends, is there any quick job you can do ready for the weekend?

Complete the rest of your WHB if you're not yet finished or spreading your tasks one a day over the week. Then 15 mins of ZONE DECLUTTERING or CLEANING in your WELCOME ZONES using your WHB list as a guide. Remember to be logical, start at the top with featherdusting, dusting and polishing surfaces and furniture, windows, mirrors and other glass, then vacuuming and mopping.

Today we're working in ZONE 1 - WELCOME and today's ZONE MISSION is your floor. Either sweep or vacuum, then mop, thats it! The 'tying the bow' task to finish off your work in the porch, hall and dining room this week!

Our 15th CHRISTMAS MISSION tentatively corresponds with BAGS DAY as it refers to our purse! It is important that we do not overspend. That we do not get into debt that causes us worry or hardship in the new year. It helps to remember the humble reason behind Christmas, it was not for overspending, over eating or excessive alcohol consumption, it is to celebrate the coming of the Living God in the person of Jesus the Messiah.  

We are hosting 4 of our children for Christmas, 2 with partners.  They don't normally buy each other gifts so my daughter-in-law has suggested we do a Secret Santa instead.  That way everyone gets one nice gift instead of a handful of token things.

If you need to broach the subject in a similar way, why not watch this video and share it with friends and family?

Those who believe should understand there is no need to overspend, those who don't believe don't need to 'celebrate' so have no need to overspend. What are you doing it for? 🤔

Don't overlook your PAMPER TIME today, it is vital you look after yourself....and don't forget to keep hydrated.

Finally, 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! 

As you leave the lounge this evening, give your cushions a plump up and take your mug or glass to the kitchen along with any rubbish.

WOOHOO! 🥳 Hyggelig Christmas here we come!! ⭐️  

Little by little, babystep by babystep we are moving forward through our homes.  I find the process of decluttering pretty brutal and I need processing time hence the importance of PAMPER TIME and being kind to ourselves, but it's worth doing because in a couple of weeks, we're going to start introducing some Christmas decorations, that process too will be done in babysteps in your newly decluttered, and easy to upkeep clean, house. 🏡🎄

I'm detailing Friday and weekend DAILY FOCUS together in a seperate post.

Have a great weekend, let me know how you're progressing.

Lots of love

Nora
