Weekly Flylady Thread 18th September 2017

Fayolle

I decided to take the lists by a storm this morning, after the last couple of days of being..ahem..off list ( for which read "what list??"). Greatly helped by DD lugging her bags off to the bus stop which gave me more time to fly.

So on the positive side, I have pretty much managed all 3 levels of Monday and today's lists. I could own up to the fact that our hall has no window or mirrors and just the one window on the landing to clean, but where's the fun in that? Washing is blowing on the line as I type, and I have been for a walk with a friend and her lovely dog. I am ignoring yesterday's list, so am happy in my ignorance. Although the freezer inventory is a MUST.

On the down side, I thought I would go the extra step and clean the bedroom window too. Bad move...I dusted the venetian blind, then hoisted it up. 6 foot of blind promptly fell off the ceiling, first one end, then the other! I think the dust might have been keeping it up....

Off to get my hair cut shortly. Just had a text from DD asking how to tell when you have broken your finger...arghhhhh!

Well done Mademoiselle!

I made some pickled runners

I now have a rather strange mental image of Mo Farah and Usain Bolt in a state of inebriation.
I'll get me coat.....

Mr LW has been detailed to take the sheep-onna-stick to the light fitments as I spotted some cobwebs earlier but still can't stretch up there properly myself (bluddy frozen shoulder is still no better). It needs to be done, as his mate is coming over this evening, to see Bluebell.

I've also washed a WM load of his clothes, and deadheaded the plants in the patio tubs and done a gazillion online surveys.

Other than that, the morning has belonged to Bluebell - food (which she likes company while she eats so I have to stay with her), eye drops for her conjunctivitis, walkies and a game in the garden.

gggrrrr... stupid page lost my rant haha...

Sisters justgiving page updated..with poopy pics..

School text saying if Dot is late to take her to the office.. cue uncool mamma rant.. I got there with DD1.. grandbeast was not late, Squeak was not late and Pixie was not late.. Dot was not late and had the lazy beast teacher bothered to stand at the door for more than 15 seconds she would have seen her running off, refusing to go in and clinging to the fence, she would have seen me getting increasingly stressed trying to get her in while fighting with Pixie who also did not want to go in.. but no, the lazy mare (she is very unpleasant, it isn't just me that hates her) went inside, shut the door leaving Dot clinging to the fence about 8 feet away.. DD1 put grandbeast in his class and then ushered Dot to hers, opening the classroom door to do so while I fought with Pixie.. by this point she was screaming hysterically and I was too angry to be anything like pleasant or understanding.. yes I have those days.. most days in fact, until about 9am are like that! Anyway, I get home and get this snotty text message so they got the wrath down the phone.. I told them given how painful my hip is and my knee I will not be walking around to the office when the door is right there and none of the other children were late just because they can't be bothered to stand there and extra minute or 2 does not make it my problem.. and I will, where possible shove them through the correct classroom doors to avoid causing myself further pain by walking a step further than I need to.. obviously if they are stupid late I will take them to the office but when it is one teacher being idle I will not and I will not apologise for it. If they can make allowances for children they can make allowances for parents too.

I truly hate the world and everything in it at the moment.. I hurt so much I feel constantly sick, I can't sleep, I can't shower, I'm just rubbish really, I really wish I could just not wake up one morning

Other than that.. I've got out 5 ebeast things I sold and put Twinkle down for her nap, she is full of cold.

I fiddled with the boiler until I had hot water again.. it is VERY tedious! I then washed my hair.. which has made my hip hurt more I am freezing and I can only find one slipper. I need to fling stuff but I can't summon the motivation.

DD1 has her 12 week scan this afternoon..

sod it.. I'm making a cuppa, anyone want one?

Yikes piggers how unhelpful - what a rubbish teacher I'll have a cuppa with you, if I'm not too late.

I've brought the washing in, since I don't know what time I'll be home tonight. It was more or less dry apart from denims. I also brought the piggies in after spotting a cat practically on top of the pen! Thank heaven it has a strong roof and is pegged down. Cat dispatched and furries brought in. I've re-jigged their indoor cage so it has storage underneath. So the conservatory is a bit disorganised.

Also wiped round sinks, cleaned loos, siliconed a plughole, sorted some paperwork and washed and dried my hair. I've to be at college in an hour or so, hoping granny arrives first for school run instructions...

Bag and snack packed, ready to go, better wash up first

Cuppa Pigpen? Think you deserve something stronger. Sounds like the teacher should have been helping you not slamming the door in your face.

Anyhow, up early, put chilli in sc, washed down kitchen cupboard fronts, cycled to work then home to put in a load of washing, walk the dog, run the hoover round the carpets and swish the mop round the tiles. On with more paid stuff now.

DS2 managed three days at college before coming down with cold (to be fair he looks dreadful). DS1 is dying from a mysterious shoulder injury. Too much sympathy is required. I am hiding in my office.

pigpen

Bossy.. you are never too late for a cuppa at mine.. Any excuse!

Washing out on the line recycling out.. I am now going to prep stuff for posting.. Twinkle woke up about 2:30 and is now menacing about on the floor.. OH can take Hetty upstairs when he gets in and he can take Twinkle and parcels for posting while I get that vacuumed.. Dot and Pixie are at dance at 5:15.

Oh, Piggers, my friend; I could have written that sentence myself. And I only have a DH and guest dogs to deal with, not the kiddiwinks you have to wrangle every day. Gods, I wish I could make the pain go away, for both of us - and any other Flylady who is suffering, too.
I'm gonna shut up now, before I start crying and Mr LW wants to know why..... :cool:

We have at least. between us, got the lounge, hall and kitchen fit to be seen, for Bluebell's visitor tonight.

Sorry late in again this week.
Hugs to all
Thanks for the lists.
Monday and Tuesday were written off flywise as I got texts at 6.45am both days asking me to cover for a sick colleague.
Today has mostly been taken up with a couple of modules from my course. I've done and passed 4 of 9 so feeling quite pleased with myself.
Dd3 and ds-in law are back from their honeymoon so I'm no longer rabbit sitting.
Had a bit of a neighbourhood thing that took up a fair bit of the morning but I did the best I could and worked on the theory at alough it wasn't my problem I couldn't have just ignored it, hopefully now others have been alerted the correct help will be found.
Got a phone call to say my hospital scan has been arranged for Sunday so at least I've not got to worry about timeoff work.

Right better go and play catch up with some jobs off to list.

LW.. I'm already crying.. I am just so fed up and Dot is being an absolute witch.. she has destroyed the glasses I got fixed yesterday, she has been horrid to her sisters and me, she has been screaming at everything since she got in at 4pm and was supposed to be at dance tonight, refused to get changed so Pixie has gone without her.. she is a total winnie, I would gladly give her to anyone willing to take her right now. I've sorted my parcels to post with her being vile and OH has sat and played on his phone and huffed and puffed at me while I was busy.. the money for these sales has just bought his christmas present.

I am so fed up of everything right now.. I think the BD has got me in his clutches.. I had a major anxiety this morning.. a homeless looking guy offered Twinkle a magnum type ice cream.. obviously she is a baby and doesn't eat anyway and I politely said thank you but she is too little to eat one.. and I've spent all day stressing over whether I was polite enough or if I offended him hugely because it was a lovely gesture but she couldn't have eaten it and I am a freak and couldn't have eaten it because he had touched the wrapper.. not because he was unwashed but because I have issues.. plus he 'could' have injected it with anything before offering her it.. see, issues.. All the should I have taken it and put it in the bin? but that would be wasteful.. aaarrgghhhh, I'm a loon!!! !haha, at least I accept it is a problem!
