Weekly Flylady Thread 5th March 2018

Morning all :wave:

Trying to be in this week. The house is a mess because I didn't lift a finger last week except to raise mugs of honey, ginger and lemon. I am still left with a bunged-up head and racking cough, but I can't ignore the piles of work and long lists of flying that have to be done this week. The toddler group that I'm starting up opens on Thursday and there is loads to prepare for that, and of course there's prep to be done for college tomorrow, but I have written myself some lists and will knuckle down to it.

Thank you Valli for the list, but I will mainly follow my own routine this week. My flying for today will cover our bedroom and essential S&S-ing of bathroom, ensuite and kitchen. Rosie has her class this afternoon (she is not impressed that the snow has gone and we are left with mud everywhere)

So far I have
- got more plastic storage boxes out of the loft - DH bought them to transport his model railway when we first moved nearly 9 years ago; now I'm re-purposing them as toy boxes which will be stored at church [fer-ling!]
- had help from DH in stripping the bed

Off to put the bedding in the WM and eat breakfast (prepared by DH :A)

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

OMG what I found lurking at the back of the fridge was beyond disgusting; bleugh - dealt with it all though and just trying not to think about it! DH keeps making stuff I don't know about it and stashing it away so it gets unused and then festers.

Round keep doing what you're doing - anxiety is a pig (I know, I suffer too) and it bullies us as does anything MH wise. You are taking control by doing what you're doing and that's excellent. Can I ask if you've ever had CBT to help? I did and learned some good techniques. Not saying they always work but if I can get myself back to a reasonable level they can help me get clarity and see what's happening.

Jazee

Me again. In the last hour I have quickly run the hoover round, checked all smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and have polished and wiped the entire HSL (which is quite easy as its recently been decorated and the doors are new).

Job search now.

Thank you Mumof2 xx I have had CBT (and talking therapy and hypnotherapy and one bloke who just said I was 'allergic to excitement' :mad:) in the past, and I do have strategies to put in place (when I remember ) - distraction is one of them. I also break things down into baby steps and talk to myself telling myself I'm doing well as I progress. I don't know why ringing the garage is such a big deal for me - I use the village garage, grew up with the owner, had a Saturday job there when I was doing my A-levels and they are always lovely. Ten minutes after I phoned John was here with a gadget - started Pip, told me to let the engine run for 30 minutes to charge the battery, then take her down to the garage later and he'll check things out - but you can't check a battery while it's flat apparently.

Round 1 is completed.
Round 2 =
1. unload WM
2. WUDUPA a bowl of pots
3. set up bullet journal for March
4. do an on-line Mr T shop
5. write a list for C00p of stuff to keep up going 'til Mr T delivers
6. coffee

Itisme - hello :wave:

(((Hugs))) Frodders. Any chance it's something straightforward like a urine infection caD using your mum's confusion?
Fingers crossed for Mr D Imp's interview news.
Mumof2, you probably know MoD jobs are subject to security clearance. Because I was born in Germany (army brat) the agency I once worked for had not realised I was subject to an extra level of clearance, so my application had been put on the back burner. One phone call by me cleared it up, but if I hadn't chased it, I wouldn't have got the job. Five weeks is too long - can you or J ring them to see what's happening?

Kitchen, sitting room and bathroom tidied.

I'm hanging around waiting for someone to come and collect the jars for a second time I put on Gumtree for free. Kelpie is desperate for his second walk but I can't leave the house until OH is back because of this wretched woman. Gumtree now offers a Review for buyers so she's very, very silly.

Just sticking my head round the door, mid-Round, to say that I've got the empty WM running on a hot wash - is that a clean cycle?

If it is I am doing something from the list :T:j, if it's not, heyho, at least I'm trying. (Very trying some would say )

Gone now

Dizzy_Imp

*Ahem* Fanfare please...

I have sorted my wardrobe.

Flung, donated, packed down and rediscovered lots of clothes, bags, shoes, belts, jewellery, scarves etc.

I am uber proud of myself.
