Weekly Flylady Thread 15th January 2018

In case any fellow fairy lovers (long-tailed tits) are on line, Hugh's Wild West at 6pm today apparently has quite a bit about them. So that will interrupt my report writing.

Went to check MIL's new kitchen which they promised Mr N yesterday would be finished. Not only was it not finished but the workmen went home leaving the front door wide open and the lights on! Assuming they left about 5.30pm yesterday, we arrived at midday so that is a heck of a long time. Fortunately you need some sort of pass/key to get in the main front door of the building so there isn't much 'through traffic' but whatever, stern words will be spoken; they definitely don't work weekends. Apart from everything else, Mr N has been driving round there at 8am each day for the last 2 weeks to let them in; presumably as they haven't finished they will expect him to be there on Monday - as they told him it would be finished, you'd rather hope they would ring up to say actually they need to be let in again. We're picking MIL up tomorrow (has been staying with BIL) so she will have to stay with us at least tomorrow night. As our spare bed is now piling up with preparation/clothes for our holiday, that is a pain. Rant over.

Went to Mr T.
Went to garden centre for free coffee and to get more bird food. Also found some silk white hellebores reduced from 3.99 to £1 so bought them with thought of next year's church Xmas flower arrangements.
Vaguely put a few clothes away.
DW on, other stuff washed up (Mr N not me).
Back to my report.

It's very variable - and completely unpredictable. Sometimes I'll go a month without getting a nauseous day, other times, like lately, I seem to spend about 2 days out of the week tied to the Big White Telephone. Unfortunately I think it may be in some ways related to sleep deprivation, which I definitely have; am managing on less than 2 hrs a night currently, as the moment the light goes out, all the horrible worries come out to play, and go round and round dancing a reel in my head, and I simply can't switch them off. Oh well, it could be worse.....

Yay!! *High Five*:T

Flying today has mainly involved the WM. One a load of my clothes, then the bedlinen.
Then we took Sasha for her walk - the upshot of which was her coat (as in pink anorak-style doggy-coat) was all covered in mud underneath where she'd splashed it up with her great big feet, soaking wet on top cos it was raining, and of course her towel got all wet and muddy doing her paws. So coat and towel got chucked in the WM.
Towel got thrown in for drying with the bedinen, and coat is nearly dry just by hanging it up in the bathroom, currently draped across the hall radiator to finish off.
Hoping to goodness it's not this wet tomorrow!!

I completely understand sleep deprivation, my last bipolar med increase helped but i get terrible restless legs and neuropathy in my feet so some nights i don't even bother getting into bed x

Kitchen cleaned - and WM filter removed and cleaned. It was grim. Guess what you're getting on your kitchen list next week!

Everything done apart from laundry. I'm giving myself an hour before moving from the sofa and starting DS2's work clothes, as they're needed for tomorrow night.
