Dear FlyLady, Please forgive me for I have sinned. I have not done half as much flying as I promised I would! lol
I did do another WM x 1, some knitting and emptied the bins, but that is all. And, tbf, I was so tired that my knitting was very, very slow last night!
I hope to do better tonight, and it should be easier now that the apartment no longer resembles a sauna!
((HUGS)) for all thos who need them!

*Whacks BD over the nose with walking stick*
Meant to say yesterday, well done to Squeak. 5 or 6 steps is marginally more than I can manage without my sticks, before I fall over!:D Btw, little one, you do know, don't you, these adults spend loads of time teaching you to walk and talk.... and as soon as you master it, they'll be telling you to sit down and shut up!;):rotfl:
WM load of Mr LW's clothes is "blowin' in the wind" this morning.:D
Realised that doing the bathroom is going to be a tad more complicated, now I have the bath lift. What we've thought is that I'll do all I can get to with it in situ (it lives in the bath as default), so I'll be able to do everything but the inside of the bath, as I can lower the seat out of the way to get to the tiles behind.
What we thought is that we'll add a regular weekend task, whereby Mr LW will lift it out (it's on really strong suckers, and is too heavy for me to lift out unaided) and we'll do the inside of the bath, and also clean the lift thoroughly before it goes back. Does this sound sensible, or am I being unreasonable expecting Mr LW to do yet another task?:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
