Weekly Flylady Thread 12th February 2018

roundtuit

good morning :hello:

Is everyone still in bed? I don't blame you - it looks Baltic out there this morning!

Slinky challenge - put a pound on this week Not surprised as I ate too much bread .... and a pizza..... and fish'n'chips And I enjoyed every mouth full - but these things need to be an occasional thing, not twice weekly. That was the way the week went - sparkly line being drawn, step over and start another week To lose 56 lbs in 2018 I need to lose 14 lbs every three months - so I'm still on target to lose that first stone by Easter. PMA

Flying: bed is made and I'm about to put out the rubbish and recycling, and feed the birds. That last 5% of Mr T's delivery can be put away before I trolley off to work - half term here so less traffic on the road = can leave a tad later

Have a good day every one.

Oh - and I'm giving up facebook for Lent. I decided this morning.

I don't want to go out tomorrow and pretend I am sociable when all I really want to do is go home and languish in my squalor.. I am in a big old grouch.

I always feel that way when I'm away from home, too. I know you don't do (((hugs))) but have a virtual one anyway.

rather grumpy but here...was a victim of the password hiatus.

Would anyone like to do next week's thread as \i am away the first half of the week? Next week it's our half term.

Done ironing

Sorry you're feeling grumpy Valli, and if no-one else wants to do it, I'll do the list while you're away. If anyone else fancies having a crack at it, however, I'll gladly let them.

I admit that I'm a cheese-aholic

I am too, Lynne, which is why I'm doing it.

And Ionafan, that malarky with the keyboard and the bookcases and and and is the story of my life. I've recently realised once and for all it's because I have too much stuff. That helped with the manic decluttering when I got rid of 10 boxes of stuff. I need to do that every month to create space in this house.

When OH spots a space I've created he has a tendency to think he can put stuff on or in it, but he's recently discovered to his cost that the empty space is MINE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.

Dusting will be happening here today.

Charlies tribe I hope life is being a bit kinder to you; I know the view from "not a good place" only too well. (((HUG)))

Thank you. I'm fed up of sat crying at everything so time to get my bottom in gear.

Didn't manage much else yesterday. I am going to have a go at as much of today's list as i can once i know DH is properly asleep.
Also need to add
.Decluttering 2 school shows (agoraphobia not great, i feel sick at the thought already)
.Pack DD2 things ready for school trip tomorrow
.Make some phone calls
.Remember i've agreed to go in to work an hour early tonight!

I will try to catch up later. Have a lovely day all.

(((Hugs))) to all in need, especially Donna, Charliestribe and Natty.

Slinky challenge: I've put 1/2 lb on and am 1/2 lb under target range, so had to pay today :mad: I can be fairly sure that I shall put on again next week, but at least that will put me back in target range for my next weigh-in on 27th, so that I stop paying again :money: :rotfl:

My supervisor is coming to see me at 12.00 so I have
- S&S'd kitchen
- S&S'd ensuite including floor
- hoovered hard floors downstairs
- steam mopped kitchen floor

I have been up since 4.00 worrying about this essay, which is hardly writing itself, so suspect that I will be good for nothing in tonight's lectures

Well, I have spectacularly lost my cool and raised my voice at OHs mother.. gossipping about my private business.. I am utterly livid.. I know I have PMT today and that makes me ultra sensitive and I have been trying but i just lost it.. I despise gossip!! It is nasty, usually untrue or unfounded and causes so much trouble and unhappiness...

I haven't got enough money in my account to get a train home or I would be there by now.. I am NOT going out for dinner.. and his mother said she isn't going too so I shall go sit either outside in the car or just go to the pub around the corner and nurse a pint of lemonade for 3 hours.. I can do that well enough.. unless there are any Fly minions round here who need a somewhat irritable visitor this evening?.. I can get OH to pick me up on the way back.

THIS is precisely why I don't tell anyone aything.. people are not nice, disrespectful and it pee's me off...

Added to the situation.. OH found a wrapped from a single use syringe in the loft and the lid from a JD bottle.. we are rather hoping it belonged to the guy they had stay over christmas using steroids because the alternative makes for a sad future.

I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with DD1.I broke her dog by talking to him over the phone... I've not seen him for 3 months so as soon as he heard my voice he was rolling on his back grunting to himself. I inspired pancakes with banana and ice cream for lunch lol..

I just want to go home.. and cancel life.

ionafan

Congratulations, kazwookie x

So far I have written about 500 words of a 2,500 word essay. That means an awful lot more has to be done tomorrow!
But I have also spent an hour talking to my supervisor, cooked lunch (including pancakes) and taken Rosie for an hour's walk. I am going in to college an hour later than usual, in time for tea and lectures. I had reserved two more books, which I have just discovered are ready for collection: now I have to decide which two to take back before I can take the reservations out. Decision, decisions...
