Weekly Flylady Thread 25th Jan 2016

bossymoo

Just had a flurry of activity - had to bring washing in so popped it on radiators, emptied DW and put brekki things in, moved some abandoned toys, made a little pile of DS gifts and now I'm attempting to sip a cup of tea...

Party bags still not here. Sort of hoping they don't arrive. I suppose they'll keep for another time.

Mouth still bleeding a bit cuppa lovely though...

Good afternoon :hello:

Apologies for being absent on last week's thread, I was flying but was so busy I didn't get a chance to get on here! I returned to running as I want to enter a local 10k in September but I forgot just how unfit I am still, I'm making my fitbit worth the money!

I haven't had a chance to read through the thread as today is just a quick visit too but this week so far.....

Is it just me or does anyone else vacuum by sitting on the floor and scrubbing with the hose but no attachments? I have very long hair and it seems to weave itself into the carpet, also OH socks shed little black fluff add the dust and a very very old carpet and the job is almost unmanageable for me. Back is aching so taking a break, will get back to it in 5 mins or so when the washing mc finishes so can put the next lot on and this lot on the line. Only half the room done as the other half is covered with misc stuff to be sorted. Still can't see tops though have moved lots of paper into recycling. Have also given bathroom once over and vacuumed study (again only the bits I can see.)

dancemum

Ground floor henried
Tumble dryer big filter cleaned
A few Conservatory walls wiped

My td is one of the ones affected by the hotpoint problem. I received an email saying it will be mended by March or I can have a new one for £99. I now have to decide.

Hope your mouth feels ok Bossy and you manage to eat soon x

pigpen

dancemum.. that's not even a decision.. you get the new one for £99 .. with a nice warranty.


6 wash loads done.. 3 to go then I can bring the stuff from my room and the bathroom and get those 2 loads done.


DW x3
TD x3
towels, jeans and bedding on the line
Airer and radiators full.


I feel like a pantomime dame!! I can however see floor and work surface.

having a cuppa, sorting the next washload and then knitting some ears!

pigpen

And.. 1 WM, 1 DW and 1 TD on again ... Still more to go in DW that wouldn't fit!!

Afternoon,

House a pit, cracking on now as back from the paid stuff. procrastinator , I have to hoover like that to do a proper job in the bedrooms as we have very old carpets and a black labrador whose hair seems to Velcro itself to the floor.
Hope the bleeding stops Bossy .

Will report back soon with a tremendous list of stuff I have done!

LW - hope your migraine has vanished

Oh me too! I get incredibly anxious sometimes and mentally beat myself up and make myself feel worthless. I used to hate myself - I don't love myself but think I may like myself a little bit now. I've had it explained to me that our brain feeds off all the negative stuff we put in there so we need to try to put good stuff in instead .... easier said than done sometimes but baby steps! Gotta love CBT.

(((HUG))) I still battle with self-loathing. Trouble is, if I hate me, how can I accept anyone else liking me? :cool:
Answers on a postcard please......



Thought you might like to see the reason I'm falling so far behind this week.:D

pigpen

Bossy how's your poor mouth now?


Fab lesson at Agility; Whiz did me proud - 7 jumps and through the tunnel with only 1 mistake. Love him. Just washed up and cleaned the kitchen sink and Z is now upstairs getting ready for Scouts (ie putting on make up *sigh*). Teenagers eh.
