Weekly Flylady Thread 15th January 2018

MinnieMousesMummy

Sorry, I have not joined in this week, things have been hectic between being back at uni and the snow. I got no flying done this week however on a positive note I have cleared one of my debts as just cleared backdated council tax of £4000.

My list for today:
Finish scheduling February in diary
Let the chickens out and feed animals
Put food in the bird feeders
Get a quick shower
Pop to town for some bits and pieces that are needed
Do online Mr T shop
Dust the master bedroom
HH tidying clutter in the master bedroom
Catch up with emails
Listen to online biology lectures
Write up uni notes
Look online for textbooks
Research for uni essay and schedule work
Catch up with the laundry
Do ironing for work
Close the chickens away
Update diary with progress from today
Get an early night, been having too many late nights/early mornings this week and feeling it today.

Think that is probably enough to keep me busy for today, Hope everyone has a good Saturday/weekend. Hugs to those who want/need them.

Well according to my scales I am 3lb down.. I was desperate for snackage at 9pm yesterday.. so I scoffed a small pack of veg sticks.... then an apple... then half a McVities treacle cake.. lol... We are walking to and from swimming today so that will burn some lard..

I am almost £300 up on sales.. I won't hit anywhere near my £5000 but I will try! I'd be happy with £1000 tbh.

OH is off Sunday to Wednesday this week.. so while he has college it also means he is here for bed times and bath times and evenings .. I have some window shopping to do one day. He is however on a split shift today and Thursday..

Rountuit (Hi Donna), I always thought I could be bi-polar but I was ashamed to seek help due to the stigma attached,

<snip>

I feel like myself again, I am very honest about it, family and friends were amazing and there is so much support out there.

<snip>

Mental health is so interesting, eventually I hope to train as a counsellor or buddy but physically my health is not up to scratch right now to commit

If you have any questions or need a bit of support on bad days, pm me x

Hi Donna Thank you xx I'm open about my mental health problems to a degree as I'd like to play my part in breaking through the stigma and stereotyping - but at the same time I don't want to be defined by them and there's an element of self-preservation in the mix too. Complex beings aren't we?

Right - pots!!!!

I'm not sure whether to believe the dodgy scales, but I think I might be 2lbs down. Since the new year, but every little in the right direction helps. A new set of scales is on my shopping list, and I have a voucher I can use, so just need to get myself into gear and get them.

My GUAG found its way home this morning for some reason, so I have:
Filled the bird feeders (thanks Narc0)
Cleaned my oven door (both sides, thanks LW), the bottom liner, and the shelves are soaking
Cleaned the recycle bin that we have indoors to fill before sorting outside
Washed the school uniform
Sorted the clean washing.

Last night I threw away more photos that meant something only to my mother (think fingers blocking the view of a garden somewhere unknown), and today I am going to follow Kaz's suggestion and get a couple of boxes for me and my sister. A lot of photos are of her children when they were young, so are more meaningful to her than me. And certainly better than being in a suitcase on top of the wardrobe in the spare room.

This afternoon I am being DD's taxi, so I might sneak a short Mr T visit in while I am waiting for her. Annoyingly it is not anything that I need, but for volunteering next week, and I might forget if I don't do it today. DH is looking at fallen fences, as if that might make then stand up again!!

Thanks for the inspiration ladies to get me to do all these jobs, you are fab xX But if anyone would like me shove my GUAG their way for the rest of today, please help yourself - I've had my fill now!

Hugely well done on the council tax clearing, MMM. That's a lot of debt-busting and it's never easy.

OH out for most of the day and I think I've got to go out tonight which I'd much rather not do so I've sent an email asking if the event is going ahead. I think it might have been cancelled. *fingers crossed*

Can't do the laundry as the lodger is doing hers. *sigh*

Bed changed, laundry sorted into loads, showered and now it's on with the rest of the day which will be spent on Christmas cards. Thanks to the generosity of several Flyladies and friends I now have several hundred Christmas cards to give away FREE to Flyladies that would like some. I'm very happy to cover the cost of postage, so if you'd like some PM me with your address and let me know how many you'd like. They're on very good quality card and have envelopes.

For those on the slimming challenge, I made this Slimming World beeg stroganoff last night and believe me it was absolutely delicious. I would definately have it again and the best bit is DH scarffed it down

Nothing achieved this week other than the regular daily stuff and I now have another cold bug and feel wiped out. Dog walk and breakfast done and I'm tutoring at 4, so had better get a move on.

Must dos this afternoon:
clear mess outside front door (somebody dropped a full box of kebab and chips, although random animals seem to have taken care of the meat)
prepare lesson and get copying done at the library
bath
DW
hoovering (DS1 has volunteered)
WM as many times as I can fit in
put dry laundry away so I can dry more
plan dinner

Anything else will be a bonus. I plan to go to Mr A on the way home from tutoring (and Mr M for a box of teabags, but it's on the way). Tonight I really want to finish the safeguarding training I started yesterday, just to get it out of the way, and ideally some planning. Must also prepare my reading for church tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday - sticks, hugs and positive/get-well vibes as appropriate. I'm sorry I can't keep up with the thread during term time.

ETA That looks delicious, Natty. Something for the two of us, because the DSs can't stand mushrooms and onions.

Granddaughter has arrived! Woohoo

Morning all, hugs all round I am beyond happy!

Valli

Congratulations Mrs MP!

Well done on the they-mattered-to-someone-else photo decluttering fayolle and Kaz. Throwing something to which there is even a vague emotional tie is hard.

I have done two washloads and TD loads overnight and have now ironed them and decluttered DS to work.

Kitchen next.
