Weekly Flylady Thread 18th April 2016

Valli

Morning all, bright and sunny here so washing is going out imminently.
Last night, by the time I had got home having been for fuel I was too tired to do anything other than fester in front of the box! But having done the "putting away" session house looks straight which helps. Two miscellaneous candles flung.
Welcome newbies.

Morning all

Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all! Those who are joining me at the dentists today, good luck!

I've put a new washing line up this morning at 7.30, but better yet I've been able to get 2 lengths out of the one line so I now (at least temporarily) have 3 washing lines. This is going to be handier than just two, one of which was a cheap plastic rope style which was fraying and leaving bits all over the washing. I've stripped DD's bed, washed all her bedding (thank goodness for a high capacity machine!), her pillows are [STRIKE]currently in the WM and when they're done I'll [/STRIKE] washed and now I've whacked mine in. I'm hoping I'll be able to hang them out before I leave or I'll have to switch the machine off. I'm also currently trying to print some stuff out for work but the printer seems to be having a bad day as it keeps misprinting stuff :mad:

Todays plan is to change the beds, wash the quilts, finish yesterdays work, do todays work, try and catch up with work which I've been putting off over the holidays which needs to be done before tomorrow, and if I can get more laundry done then all the better :rotfl: I also need to pay bills this morning, but I'll do that when I get back from the dentists so I'm not rushing it.

This week:
Pay bills (CT, Ar, MC, HX)
Update finances (purchases over the weekend)
Book Mr A delivery (Troll, dog food, soap powder)
Phone VIP line for petshop and get my account unlocked :mad:
Laundry!!!!

Monday:
Organise deliveries
Cards out to customers
Newsletters

Tuesday:
DENTISTS 11.40
Text mas customers to arrange delivery after dentists

Wednesday:
Books to school
Books to customers
Deliveries to customers
Mas deliveries

Thu:
Bank

Okay, I really need to get a move on as I need to have a shower before I go out. :wave:

Back from the dentist having had an anesthetic injected, x rays taken, tooth refilled and then she finished off all these delights by cleaning in the little gaps between my teeth. Eugh. At least it’s done now though she warned me I may need a crown at some point which is in the region of £250.

I'd like to become part of this group please.

You're very welcome to join us; the more the merrier.:o

I hope all the Fang Farrier appointments are now done and dusted, and not too painful (either literally or in the £££ department).

I've done a WM load of Mr LW's clothes; we've done a large shop at Herr A; I've ploughed through a couple of dozen online surveys; I now need to get a crowbar and prize Mr LW out of his computer chair (he's playing "The Witcher" on the pc) as he can jolly well assist with cataloguing the final shelf of the large bookcase in the lounge.

This could prove interesting... *rolls up sleeves, cracks knuckles and practises Big Bad Wolfette face*

Frizzlef

Nicki- hope you got on ok.
Mumof2- at least you have 6 months before next appointment (hopefully)

I had mixed news. He couldn't see anything wrong with the problematic tooth and after an X-ray decided I have been grinding my teeth in my sleep due to stress!!! So the pain should go away on its own. A couple of fillings and crowns are needed though. Boo!!! First appointment next week! Not s lot of flying done but did assist OH with a little painting! Must crack on now though!! X

Dentists done! I had a quick exam and an x-ray done...and I go back on Monday (I couldn't face it this week - I have something on EVERY DAY except Friday and she is fully booked then!). Its a good job I'm delaying it though as I have an infection around the root of the tooth so anything she does has the risk of turning into an abscess and she's off for a week as of next Tuesday So I'm off to Mr A soon to get a weeks worth of antibiotics then on Monday I'm having the tooth removed. Since the pain started I knew its either a root canal or extraction before the emergency dentist even told me and the way my teeth are I'd rather get it taken out! So next week I'll be on light flying duties!

I popped into to a couple of charity shops while I was in that direction....and bought 25 books :o 5 are for DD and the other 20 are for me. I figured if I have to sit round most of Monday resting I might as well read. I did pick up books by authors I've not tried before as I've read almost all the Sophie Kinsella & Katie Fforde books. I'll only buy most books at charity shops unless someone wants to get me one for a gift or I can't wait for the next and just released instalment . These were decent value at 4 for £1, or 3 for £1, although I am tempted to hit the other dirt cheap charity shops on Thursday while I'm out at the bank to see if I can get some more. I really need to sort out a list of which books I still need to read as now I'm home I'm sure I have a couple of these books in the charity pile....:o:o

I've just text my ex and asked if I can borrow the pressure washer (we have joint custody of that :rotfl:I paid for it on my credit card, but it lives at his as he uses it more and I have nowhere to store it atm) and a hosepipe this weekend. I don't care what the weather is like I WILL be pressurewashing the yard down, and chucking as much rubbish into the wheelie bin as possible after the grids overflowing while they were clearing the blockage _pale_ Good enough they covered everything in disinfectant so we couldn't catch anything in theory, but dried up used toilet roll is sticking like glue to the pavers, and the old yard brush as well as the old hosepipes I was storing in my little hidey-hole. I could really do with getting some new gardening tools (as in a proper shovel & fork) but I have no where to store them so they can wait a little longer until I order the new edging, and storage unit for out there.

I managed to get DD's quilt and all the pillows washed...just not my quilt or bedding so I'll be doing that when I get in.

I best shift myself. I have no idea where today has gone. I still need to go and put calling cards through to customers! I told them I was delivering tonight but I'm not :o I also need to go to Mr A and then meet DD at the bus stop if she's not home from her club before the buses get diverted due to roadworks.

Working tomorrow all day, but I'll be back later to sort out a list :wave:

House is getting me down too DIA. Decided I have had enough - too much stuff. Lots of stuff chucked - but it takes so long. Find it hard with working just to keep on top of the basics. Still, I have made a start.

Yes me too. I've chucked stuff out and keeping a constant charity shop bag but the house is still a mess! I'm going to try this system even though I worry about the days when I work as by the time I do my commute I get home quite late...

Ah well, let's give it a go!!

DIA - I too have a constant charity bag - though just a normal sized carrier bag so when it's full it's gone. I do little and often but need to ramp up the declutter!

Evening folks. This week has not gone to plan so far hence lack of appearance on thread.

Yesterday the community nurses came in and yet again failed to get blood from my line. So it was another unplanned trip to the hospital and another £20 on taxis....

And today I was back for treatment. Thankfully it was uneventful, and fingers and toes crossed I don't have to go back for a week.

Infection is responding to.antibiotics, so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to make some ginger biscuits, these thing I planned to do on Sunday before things went pear shaped.

I have purchased some new clothes. I am.notoriously bad at doing such things, especially as the illness over the last year has put a lot of weight on me. I am annoyed, but in the grand scheme of things I just have to go with it.

Hope everyone is okay. Haven't had chance to look back over the thread, but I was very pleased to see Bossy posting. I especially.Hope all.is well or at least a lot better for Master Moo.
