Weekly Flylady Thread 10th July 2017

I'm in. Another one who would hate to see the threads disappear. I'm pretty intermittent as so often life consists of lots of busy-ness that couldn't really be described as flying in the house, so I get guilty as I know it isn't a social club primarily so I shouldn't just post my drivel.
Have a period of change now Mr N is retired and we settle into new routines - or maybe that won't happen till I'm back at uni in Sept/Oct.

Lots of weeding today.
Paid cc bill.
Finished on-line course.
Picked a load of french beans to freeze.
On refreshment and reading duty at church.
Wrote list of "stuff" to do e.g. tax return, CPD log.
Tomorrow will start the list, go to clubbercise, have a private student lesson, more weeding plus Mr N and I need to sit down with all our house deeds as the council who did a compulsory purchase on a strip of land at the front of our house in 1965 (before we were there) now want to buy it back. And charge us legal fees.

Thanks to Valli for the thread and dancemum for the wake-up call. Very timely, as the house has started to slip back again after Easter. Busy week this week and I won't be in tomorrow until just before 7pm, but I'll see what I can do.

I'll be in. Didn't intend to be up posting this late. My 19 year old cat went out about 10 pm for "five minutes before bed" and has just strolled back in. We've been going round the street looking for her, peering under bushes and cars with a torch. No point calling her because she's deaf. She's got dementia too so she gets us up every hour or so every night.

It's like having a teenager again, strolled back in as though nothing was wrong and she hadn't been missing for over 3 hours!

I'll be like a zombie in the morning.

Morning everyone :wave: lovely to see so many flyladies!

Very excited - first day decorating. Need to get some supplies from Screwfix after dropping Tiny off, so might get to start sometime around 10am, if I get a move on.

Kitchen is actually not too bad, so gentle flying later, it seems.

I have to ask...Boddy...how on earth did you break your knee walking out from the hospital?

Are you awake yet Pollybear? Cats sure do like to worry owners. Glad the old girl is OK

Laters peeps x

Meant to say yesterday - well done Lame Wolf on curing MrLW's bad back. I notice that I get far less backache since my foot op last year, resulting in a better balance and gait.

No more rain overnight and the decking looks good this morning. There are lighter patches where the pots have stood (from water stains) so I might get feet for the pots before I replace them, then overspill will dry up more quickly. I'm planning to get DH and DS2 to put up the big umbrella tomorrow - could have done with it last week, but in retrospect I probably wouldn't have thought of restoring the decking if I'd had to take it down again!

Right, I have already thrown open the windows to get rid of the heady smell of decking oil and made up DH's lunch box. Need to get this bedroom sorted for the two boys - it's a tip! And of course I'm going to have to move out my computer out, as DGS4 (aged 2) showed great interest in it on his last visit :eek:

Hope you get good news today, Froddy.
Enjoy your decorating, Dizzy

Hope everyone has a good day. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x
