Weekly Flylady Thread 5th February 2018

Narc0lepsy

what I said yesterday I would do today:
- [STRIKE]get to gym early enough to have a bit of a run on treadmill [/STRIKE]'bit' was the operative word; about 6 mins as I arrived later than planned owing to still being typing a report at 1.30am. However 6mins is better than none, and it was faster than I run outsidebefore I have eyelashes and eyebrows 'done'. [STRIKE]Go to Mr T on the way home as Mr N remembered something he forgot today.[/STRIKE]He went himself when he took MIL to the doctors
- finish and send the last reportWork in progress but it will be finished tonight and checked tomorrow.
- s[STRIKE]ort out all electrical leads, chargers etc to take away[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]do a car insurance quote as you get a couple of £ on TCB for it[/STRIKE].
- [STRIKE]pack![/STRIKE]I will admit that I put everything on the bed and Mr N offered, as he is neater at it than me and I was doing other stuff. Final bag weight 13kg which I am ok about lugging around.
- Put my CPD on the system, transfer money and renew my assessment cert. Not quite complete but will be a 15min job tomorrow

Also checked train times, filled bird feeders, checked in on-line and printed boarding passes, spoke to friend/brother/mum on the phone, put away all the "might take" items back in their cupboards, checked fridge and veg rack for anything which needs flinging or eating tomorrow.

Have a great half term everyone, happy hols to those going away the same time as me, sorry can't remember all of you except fbo.

Morning all,

We have half term a week later than everyone else it seems, still a week to go here!

Eye infection still bothering me despite getting new drops yesterday. Trying not to rub it but it's soooo hard!

I've unloaded the DW and written DH a to-do list for the day DS watching tv with a hot cross bun, DD still asleep. The laundry dried in front of the woodburner last night so will put that away shortly. The promised ebaying NEEDS to happen today, that's the priority.

Have good days all xx

Valli

Sorry it's late; was offered a surplus ticket to see Reginald D. Hunter last night so it was dash home, run in-eat-the dash back to the steel city.

Had to pay £10.50 to park:eek:

Mademoiselle

Bonjour, snowing hard here and freezing cold so no excuse not to stay in and get on with some flying.
So far: WM is on, email document to DD2 and another document scanned to appropriate file.
As you can see my motivation is lacking and my GUAG seems to be absent without leave.

I have decided that my kids are old enough to dust and polish their own rooms (17 and 8), I will go and tidy (groundhog day) 8 year old's room and make his bed and hoover but the dusting he can do after school

Hi all, just nipping in to say I am still going strong with my H2H challenge, much progress on long term mess is being made. The work project is peaking and about to end shortly after which I should have a few weeks free to really attack the mess. I'm managing the dailies which helps a lot.

DS1 has invited a friend over next week which is great (he isn't very sociable so want to encourage and support him) but oh my someone in the house who will be going upstairs :eek::eek:

pigpen

Donna.. are you due AF soon? I usually gain loads the week before she turns up with bloating and fluid. I am expecting to not lose this week as I am expecting a visit next week.

salmon omelette with beetroot for lunch... I love beetroot!

Packing almost done for visit to you-know-where, just mine to finish.

Washing up to date, TD on, lots folded.

bother.. small likes beetroot!!

Recently I have posted about my inability to a) sleep more than 2 hours a night and b) make and headway on the Slinky Challenge. I may have found a correlation; in an effort to get Mr LW to take the sleep issue seriously, I did a spot of web trawling, and found:
https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/10-results-sleep-loss#1
Copying'n'pasting the bit in question:

8. Losing Sleep Can Make You Gain Weight
When it comes to body weight, it may be that if you snooze, you lose. Lack of sleep seems to be related to an increase in hunger and appetite, and possibly to obesity. According to a 2004 study, people who sleep less than six hours a day were almost 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours.
Recent research has focused on the link between sleep and the peptides that regulate appetite. !!!8220;Ghrelin stimulates hunger and leptin signals satiety to the brain and suppresses appetite,!!!8221; says Siebern. !!!8220;Shortened sleep time is associated with decreases in leptin and elevations in ghrelin.!!!8221;
Not only does sleep loss appear to stimulate appetite. It also stimulates cravings for high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. Ongoing studies are considering whether adequate sleep should be a standard part of weight loss programs.

Food for thought?? :cool:

Anyways - plumber blokey says we need the kitchen tap replaced, so he's going to be back this evening with a new tap; and as we're regular customers, they're not charging us silly money for a call-out. :A


Flying-wise I have cleaned all the kitchen surfaces with anti-bac spray (stores own version of Dett0x) and taken yet another armful of recycling out to the shed, and that's about it. I am a Bad Flylady!

Hi Hex! :wave:
Ionafan, that extreme flying video unfortunately reminds me that I have a crystal thing on the landing upstairs that hasn't been touched since I put it up 10 years ago. No wonder it's looking a bit dingy.
V. jealous Valli. I'm a big Reginal D Hunter fan.

Flying today is on hold as OH has a meeting in the dining room, which he didn't tell me about until 10 minutes before everyone arrived. Frantic 10 minutes. Now dealing with my In Tray which is harbouring all sorts of horrible stuff. Not enjoying Friday much.
