Weekly Flylady Thread - 29 June 2015

Hello all, I had a big blitz on the weekend with dh and now the house is at a reasonable baseline, just need to maintain and improve rather than dealing with a total bomb site which was overwhelming me

My 3 surfaces are the patio (I've got lots of plants to sort out) , kitchen office area and sitting room side tables

4 washes are out on the whirley

Insurance company rang but before they told me anything I had to hang up as ds2 was sick

Now the cat is poorly

Pollyanna thought - the sun is shining

second washload about to go in machine.


planning on taking myself to the cinema to see Mr Holmes at lunchtime - I have membership at the local city screen which gives me 4 free tickets a year, so better use them...

Narco - I was cringing for you - hope they are ex mice this morning.

Another speedily dispatched 5 mins after first. At least I didn't have to spend the night worrying about a spouse looking for the first one.

Ooh I like a pick'n'mix. My surfaces are definitely my office desk, the lounge coffee table and the kitchen (though I feel the latter counts as about 5).
Also need to:
*plant any stray plants in pots/modules/greenhouse that need to go in the garden
*continue to hoover up vast numbers of craneflies from every carpet in the house.
*prepare paperwork for tomorrow's assessment
*email more paperwork to uni
*get on web site and cancel milk
*go into town to get a new coat in G0 0utd00rs sale (I hope) and a few toiletries. Scottish flyladies - are the midges out in the Argyll/islands area yet?
*hoover the church and water flowers

Sure there were lots of other things but sitting here typing them won't get anything done.

Best recovery vibes to all poorlies and their children.

Henried all through downstairs.. now feeling rather lightheaded again.. def. starving though so will deal with that shortly.. I have sausages left from last night so can build butties.

OH supposedly going to the gym leaving me to pair socks and fling crap out of the kitchen!


DW on and 2x WM so things are looking slightly better in there.. piles of clean laundry ready to go upstairs are on the table.. waiting for DS3 to materialise..

Right.. food and worktop clearing! it is being cleared into a box so I can start painting.. I NEED that kitchen beautiful again then I might be motivated to keep it that way!

and I need to build a lasagne! .. and have SS paying a visit.. part of our custody farce!


And I need to go collect Moomins prescription and post ebeast stuff and get some more listed.. glad I have a nice free day

Been for a long walk with d sis and done the majority of kitchen - tops and floor. Will update my list and see what's next.

Level 2
Now give the surfaces a good clean, then only put back what really belongs there. DONE
Rehome the rest of the gibble (keep, bin, recycle) DONE

FBO well done, I'm proud of you, hun.

CY loads more posi-vibes for you.

I was doing ok, til postie came....

PANIC ALERT - WOLFY THROWING A WOBBLY; FEEL FREE TO SKIP THE FOLLOWING
I have a letter from the car insurance bods, demanding £458.00 for their "costs" :eek: They say it's a Final Demand - I have never had any previous correspondence regarding this. They also have me down in the letter as the driver of the other vehicle, the one that rammed us.:( I wasn't even driving our car, I was a passenger; I only rang the insurance first off after the crash because Mr LW was so shaken he couldn't operate his smartphone (we both hate touch screens, and I have an old fashioned "dumb" phone). I called Mr LW at work, and he rang them; they didn't seem to understand what he was talking about. So I've emailed them, and sent a scan of the letter, and of an excerpt from the Police RTA report, showing that someone else was driving the other vehicle (they quoted the reg no in the letter).
It looks to me like they should've sent this to the other driver, but they've got their wires crossed; but it's got me really upset and scared, as they talk about things like County Court proceedings.:(

I'll shut up now.:cool:

What a bunch of incompetent whatsits. Try not to stress too much although it must be hard. Focus on lovely dogs, sun etc and imagine how embarrassed the insurance company will be when they realise what they have done.
