Weekly Flylady Thread 25th July 2016

LameWolf

ATB (((HUGS))) and I hope your Grandma is coping ok - you were concerned for her in an earlier post, if memory serves. x

Flying is all to pieces I'm afraid; I'm feling pretty rough today (still not over that nasty whatever-it-was - bug/lupus flare/combination of the two - from a few weeks ago.)

However, Fidget has been fed and walked - we got slightly wet when someone "upstairs" emptied their bathwater (ie it rained, very suddenly and very hard), but luckily Fidget is good about being toweled dry. Had to change my dress though, it was soaked!

Narc0lepsy

Made a small cooked breakfast.
Done a flower arrangement for church.
Hoovered all downstairs.
Beef and veg in slow cooker.
Mr N has picked loads of white currants and a few red currants although they are sadly a bit past it - should have been picked when we were in Wales.
At least all this scampering round looking after mum has made me lose the 3lb I put on while we were on hol.

About to treat ourselves to coffee and cake at garden centre - well 2 of the coffees are free anyway! We may drop in at the local RSPB place and get a bit of fresh air and bird watching - mum's neighbour lent a folding wheelchair so we can try that out.

Have a good day everyone.

Spent the best part of 2 hours on the computer doing jobs which needed to be done before DD takes it with her. DD meanwhile has been doing the cleaning upstairs and driving Zack mad with the new carpet sweeper :rotfl: At least he's not running away like he does when we get the vacuum cleaner out.

Well, I've managed to do level 1 of Monday and Tuesday. It's not been easy as I've been suffering fatigue and I'm waiting for an appointment at the sleep clinic.

But...I feel much better for starting and just those little things have made such a difference.

Off to make some dinner now, then I might go and have a soak in the bath

I'm off to get changed into jeans etc so I can do the weekly shop when DD's gone I'll catch up with you all later :wave:

Ive had a flurry of activity, dusted, vacced and mopped all downstairs except the dining room.

Mopped myself into a corner with a brew

I think other than a good shower and perhaps some pottering, I'm done for today...

Hope you all have a pleasant weekend:)
