Weekly Flylady Thread 29th May 2017

Valli

aww Piggers sorry to hear about your troubles and the loss of your furry friend.

FBO - sending you strength and coping vibes

I have done today's list, and cleaned all upstairs windows while I had the stuff out, an vacuumed all upstairs while I had the vax up there ( I heart my vax) cleaned out the bunny hutch, sorted stuff for recycling *fling* and stuff has gone to the charity shop *fling* and my MAD has been to list stuff on Fleabay - a huge pile of DS's uni textbooks which have been cluttering the house up since last summer - but, obviously, couldn't get my head round it then as was up to my eyes.

Concocting tomorrow's list now.

10am OH's interview.. everything crossed for a good outcome.

Next doors over grown foliage has had an accident.. nothing to do with my pruning saw .. my brown bin was full so the next lot is having to be done next week.. they have 3 huge sycamores growing in the tiny front yard one is growing out of the drain for the fall pipe.. NOT good for the buildings so out it must come.. the house has been repossessed and is owned by the bank who don't care if my property is damaged and the noisy tenants appear to have either died in the house or done a moonlight flit and left everything including their bikes and pot plants... utterly strange.. all the windows are open but no one has been seen for nearly 2 weeks.. I'm giving them another week in case they are on holiday for 2 weeks, before I check with the estate agents if they have moved out and inform them that all the windows are open and send someone in to check for bodies!! It really is that weird for there to be no noise and never even a light on.

Suppose I should go wake up OH so I can send him to bed.

Enquiries made into changing the childrens names, it appears there is only one way.. and I just had a crazy idea..

Had a fabulously un-pc conversation with 2 of my offsprung earlier.. why are the inappropriate conversations always the funniest?? And of course included ourselves in that.. we are of course just as imperfect as everyone else.

We had Crackers funeral this evening.. my little furry boy will be very much missed.

Good morning flyladies and good luck to Piggers OH with the interview. Very funny that you had to wake him to send him to bed.

This morning before the paid stuff I will clean the HSL, walk the dogs, possibly hoover quickly through and see if I can do anything from the list.

Also need to fit in grooming and vet visits for the dogs today. All routine.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all.

Good luck to your OH, piggers. And I hope you clear up the Mystery of the Missing Neighbours very soon - that would worry me.

Off to put pork joints in the SC and prepare salad for tea, as far as possible. The desserts look good - I even made brownies at 11.00 last night! But the dandelions are still in place, and there isn't much progress with the essay

Flying and a MAD half hour will commence shortly...

Hope everyone has a good day. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

greent

Morning all

Nice slow start here - just about to have breakfast with DS3 and then get dressed and put g-pigs out in the garden. Then it's either start the kitchen or start my MAD fleabay half hour - depends how limbered up I feel by then (very stiff, achy joints this morning)

Good luck to Mr Pigpen

YORKSHIRELASS

Morning

Lots going on here, hope the job interview goes well.

I managed to change our bed, have a quick tidy around and that was it yesterday.

Two lots of paid stuff today and will go to the gym if I can fit it in. May have to pick Dad up from the hospital (50 mile round trip).

1 load of washing out, another in, busy busy, catch you all later x

bossymoo

Morning,

We are up - just. But still not dressed. In the den watching a barbie movie and having breakfast. WM is just finished, sun is shining and kiddies have a bag packed for their overnighter with swimmies and goggles.

I've got lots I can be getting on with after my coffee. Toying with the idea of a browse round the shopping centre for a walk, but it'll be bedlam.

Maybe I'll go buy some plants...

Good luck with job things for pigger-fella and FBO
