Weekly Flylady Thread 1st January 2018

[Deleted User]

I've not had a particularly productive Fly Lady week. All I've managed is to take down the Christmas decorations, buy a 2018 calendar, and cleaned the kitchen. I have an exam on Thursday so I doubt next week will be any better. Onwards and upwards.

In my HHC I:

Put away the laundry
Put another load on
Cleaned the hob and kitchen table
Put some more rubbish out
Checked on DD (in bed with earache)
Made DH packed lunch for tomorrow
Hoovered kitchen and hall

Phew! Aside from bathing kiddies I'm done for the day. See you all on the new thread xx

Well here's something I never thought I'd be saying in January....in the name of the slinky challenge I have been for a walk with a friend (jogging mojo seems to have left me permanently) and then been to the allotment for a couple of hours digging and tidying up. I am sure that I will regret the aches and pains tomorrow, but as I'm still decluttering Christmas goodies, drastic action was needed to compensate. I have been thinking about giving up the allotment as I don't have time ( or sometimes energy either) to do it, but I'll go with it for this year as I need the exercise.

Also, for the first time ever, I have had a fairy on the bird feeder! Thought of you, Narc0, straight away.

Pigpen - hope your DS is ok.

Minimal flying today so far. Must stir myself as there are things to be done. I might tidy up the magazine pile....I don't want to exert myself too much and I am sitting right next to it

See you all on the new thread.

Since lunch I've scrubbed clean my comb :eek:, put a pile of odd socks in WM - these were among the bags in the kitchen that I'm decluttering. There is a similar pile of odd socks in my bedroom, these too will be washed. The clean odd socks will then be kept in a bag until all possible sources of odd socks have been uncovered; socks will then be paired up or slung. It's a plan

Another plan has been actioned: I asked DS to bring down a box from Bedroom 3: this box and all its contents have now been recycled (mostly) or flung (4 empty files) :T:j This was a box of 4 Home Health Fact Files: cards which I collected in the early 1980s - the box hasn't been opened since we moved into this house in 2003 and most of the info will now be horribly out of date. Anyway if I need medical info I go to Dr g00gle. Gone now :j.

Also... DS said I had inspired him and he's just brought down a bag of rubbish and some bits for recycling from his room. :T

HB 20 minutes makes sense - I'm ok for so long (not actually timed it) and then I have to stop as it 'becomes too difficult' to decide what to do with stuff.

Time for a laundry shuffle - got to make room for a lot of wet odd socks

pigpen thinking about you and DS1 xx Parenting isn't a case of 'right I've got you to 18, you're on your own now' is it? Good to hear that his siblings are there for him too. Hope you are both soon feeling better xx

Valli, is your elderly cat struggling at the moment?

No, she's fine - it's just getting her to stay in with the 'kitten'; she has not got used to her and keeps a low profile. I can now lock the catflap to keep her in without her going mad and clawing at it (or trying to make an exit through another way) and was thrilled that she spent hours in the house yesterday; she certainly was in when I went to bed.

Been to Aldi (was v. busy but happened to be going to the tills just as they opened the one I was passing! Got the last yoghurt pot too!

Have brought in washing, filled up hutch and made casserole which is in oven along with chicken breasts (batch cooking:money:) for quick dinners for me.

Old shower curtain fastened across car windscreen. Outside temperature plummeting.

Hi all

So far I have. .
Done a couple of loads of washing
Hung up or TD as needed
Cleaned up the scullery
Dismantled the Christmas tree, bubble wrapped and boxed up all the decorations and put in the spare room till I decide where they can live permanently.
Stuck some mince on for the dinner
Decluttered a nap :whistle:

DD should be home soon she's been out from 9 this morning first dancing then ice skating. I'm hoping the early start will make going back to school tomorrow easier for her.
Will need to do some ironing absolutely not looking forward to it.
I've also locked myself in the house, I left my keys in work on Friday and I'm using the spare set from my SiLs. When I came in from the ice cream van I automatically locked the door behind me and this particular set of keys won't open the door from the inside This is what happens when you're in such a rush to get out of work and get home to get ready for the theatre :rotfl:

Valli absolutely freezing here too. The frost hasn't lifted all day.

DS1 handed off to my youngest sister.. everyone keeps telling him he will feel different in a couple of days but he is refusing to accept it just yet.. but he will.

I have 2 grandbeasts here now while DD1 is in hospital getting sorted for her vomitting again..

My life is a soap opera!!

7 out of 7 items on my bullet journal list completed for today.

These were:
1) Dry washing away
2) Prep dinner (slow cooker chicken casserole & accompanying veg)
3)Bring more books down from the loft
4)Meal plan and do a shopping long list*
5)Wine to the cellar (box of wine ordered and delivered before Christmas that was cluttering up the hallway)
6)Things into the loft office (receipts and new wrapping paper)
7)cleaner proof the house (hopefully she's coming tomorrow)

*my shopping list creation involves writing a long list of everything I'll need today, then I'll whittle it down by looking in the cupboards etc until I've got the short list of what I actually need before I go shopping on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

As it's the end of the week I'll report on my monthly to do list progress:

10 items on the list
1 item completed this week
1 item completed this month.

See you all on next week's Fred.

Wish.
