Welcome to the September Idea List. If you are new to the blog you can read all about the Idea List and the accompanying Facebook group here. I hope you find it useful and if you join in, I would love to hear how you get on. Also, if you follow me on Instagram I add each day’s idea to my story to help people keep track of the list.
Sunday 1st: Buy all of your occasion cards for October (and September if you haven’t already).
Monday 2nd: If you want to be organised for Xmas this year, now is the time to start thinking about budgets and planning things.
Tuesday 3rd: Organise and declutter your jewellery and accessories.
Wednesday 4th: Clean a radiator from a room of your choice.
Thursday 5th: Clean your tea, coffee and sugar containers.
Friday 6th: Clean and defrost your freezer (unless you have a frost-free freezer!).

Saturday 21st: Get out your warmer bedding ready for the colder nights.
Sunday 22nd: Between the 20th to the 23rd is the ‘Great British Beach Clean‘. Why not get involved today and help keep our beaches clean.
Monday 23rd: Organise and declutter your towels today.
Tuesday 24th: Swap out your summer sunhats and sunglasses for hats, gloves and scarves.
Wednesday 25th: Do a freezer inventory so you can use up what you have to start making room for Xmas.

Friday 27th: Deep clean your oven today.
Saturday 28th: Organise your clothes making sure your autumn-winter clothes are now in your main view.
Sunday 29th: Look through your food cupboard and see if you have anything with a good date which you know you will not use and donate to a local food bank. If you are feeling extra generous you could buy a few items to donate as well.
Monday 30th: Stock up on batteries, candles and torches and make sure that they are easily assessable in case of any power cuts in the darker evenings.
I hope you have a fantastic, fun and organised September and would love to hear your thoughts and how you get on!
