A September Challenge

Nope no challenges for me, the house doesn’t need any clearing or my personal possessions.I have a job, a close family and young GC and friends.The only thing I would like is for time to stretch out more.It’s a small house, no real garden to do just a yard in back and a few feet at front.I have more than 50 pairs earrings but keep them all sorted into boxes and won’t part with any.😄

My September challenge is to smile and get on with life whilst the builders are swarming through my home inside and out.

They have been asked nicely (given the Paddington hard stare) that they must be finished before Christmas…

If DH are still happily married at the end of all this it will be a flaming miracle 🙏🏻🪽

What an excellent idea. Like some others, having been in teaching September has always been the start of the year. Although September, and back to school was always when I had a yearly cold.
I too shall start wearing all my clothes, not just the favoured few, although I have none to donate at the moment. I am on a quest for Toast clothes, and you don’t throw those away.
Also I have a book to finish, which will probably keep me busy for a few months yet.
I like the idea of the earrings. Will give that a go. Thanks for the great ideas ladies…. Oh! And the daily walk. Diolch

I like the wearing something I haven’t worn for ages idea, along with changing my jewellery more often - I’ve a lot.
On a practical note - definitely a daily walk, which isn’t a problem if I have DD2’s Little Dog here. On days I don’t, I must get on with the loft clearance, while I’m still able to get up the Slingsby ladder!

I always get that new term feeling as well but without the last minute panic! 😂
I have already set myself a challenge to clear out my kitchen cupboards and sideboard in the sitting room because a friend is having a table top sale at the end of the month for charity so I’ll probably have plenty to donate.
Great idea about delving into the wardrobe. I’m guilty of forgetting tops that should be worn more frequently. I’ll definitely give that a go.
I should also spend more time in my study, AKA the spare room, when I’m using my laptop rather than lazily perching it on my knees so that I can watch some rubbish telly at the same time.
That’ll do for starters. I wouldn’t want to overstretch myself. 😂

What a great challenge! A bit like New Year’s resolutions and after a lifetime in education tbh September feels much more like NewYear than Jan 1.
My challenge is to delve into my wardrobe every day to wear something I haven’t worn for a while -and in “delving”, to find one item for the charity bag every day too.

Join activities and get to know people in our new location.

Some willpower!

To stop spending every morning on the iPad! I would get so much more done. Once I have been on here while having breakfast, I should get off it and get on with my day. I don’t, though, and normally browse until lunchtime. Gulp! Then I feel guilty all day because I am wasting my life!
Great though it may be, I sometimes wish the internet would just go away! But then, I know I’d be sorry.
Anyone know where I can get done willpower??

I shall probably set myself the same Autumn challenge as last year - go through every drawer and cupboard in the house and sort/chuck out most of it.
(I did about two.)

No way Aldom 😂

Whatever you do Crazy don't leave the GN games.
