Sorry ATB, no magic money tree here, just lots of ((hugs)) and posivibes for you to get through today.
It was a busy evening yesterday, so I didn't get DH out for a walk or have words about his weight and general unfitness. I thought that after a bottle of wine disappeared, maybe delay was the best tactic in case more words were said than necessary. Tonight may be a different matter. I had a rubbish night's sleep last night, and it turns out that the power went off long enough to set the freezer alarm off. Luckily the swanky newish freezer tells me how low it went, so I know that everything stayed frozen which is a relief. Or dinners would have been very eclectic and I would not have been a happy bunny.
Off to work this morning. I'm not looking forward to it at all. I think it might get a bit stressy, so I am successfully winding myself up beforehand. But on the positive side, 3 bags of toys are ready to leave the house.
Have good days all. Flying will resume when I get home.0 -
Morning all (afternoon to ATB, as you've been up so long
),
Yorkie - I have nothing to say...why you, sweet pea?
Jojo - *sigh* hugs to you xxx
I really wish I had a magic money tree, so I could erase a whole lot of stress for some flyladies (me included).
I have to sort out the front "lawn" today...:eek:...my lovely NDN is helping, but I'm absolutely dreading it. Grass and weeds over a metre high, hidden concrete blocks, rotting pallets, random abandoned toys and gardening tools, piles of ash and soda, rampant ivy, stray cables and large holes in the ground. I will not enjoy this.0 -
Morning
Couldn't sleep so got up and got on with 'stuff'
Company account's questions now answered, in part, it seems the business bank account currently has a 'technical' issue and you cannot search transactions more than 40 days old, I'm on the phone to them at 9am!
Personal bank account checked it still has money in it and it does, I'll check further in a bit.
Shredding done
List made for today and Saturday as to what NEEDS to be done, as I have certain things that have to be done on these days, so I'll be off piste, Friday does not currently have a list.

Enormous (((hugs))) for atb, YL and Jojo. Please continue to draw strength from being part of the Flylady family - we will always listen and send posivibes.
More hugs for Froddy and dancemum and anyone else looking after people who can't look after themselves.
Well done on H2H, Honey Bear :T
I discovered on Tuesday evening that I am due to give a short presentation to our college group next week as part of our assessment :eek: so I shall be spending most of the next 3 days preparing that. The garden will have to wait againbut DH watered all the pots late last night :A.
Yesterday was supposed to be mine and DH's day out together, so although I worked for 3 hours in the morning, we did get out for a pub lunch and managed a bit of essential shopping. We also called in to say hello at the rescue centre where we got Rosie, as it's almost a year since she came to us.
Before breakfast I need to print out 150 service sheets for a wedding on Saturday (the bride had forgotten that she would need to give the congregation the words of the hymns, as she's chosen one that is not in our church hymn books), then I shall S&S the kitchen and bathroom and shut myself away with my books and computer. Washing is up to date and the house is tidy apart from the pile of things on the DR table which DH brought back from the wargames show on Saturday. We won't talk about the state of the utility - I'll deal with it in July, when I've finished my course
Hope today turns out better than expected for everyone. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x0 -
Last night i did sweet fa apart from washing! A long lovely dog walk took place too. It was a pretty unsuccessful night flying but a successful night for catching up with myself and just having a rest, it was needed. Meant i got up this morning had a quick tidy of the kitchen, prepared lunch, tumble dried clothes (too much of a rain gamble to hang out all day) sorted the dogs stuff for our trip away tomorrow and wrote a list of what i need to take with me. tonight i will put the washing away, sort clothes for the weekend and some other fly jobs from Wednesday that have been delayed, eek0

Morning all. Hugs to all who need them esp ATB, JoJo.
First shift of paid stuff done. Now:
Paperwork
Cut grass
Walk dogs again
Maybe something from the list
Wish I hadn't bothered with DH's wardrobe yesterday, he didn't even notice.
Catch you all later.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Not doing well today, no motivation, and feel like I'm achieving nothing and am useless. So need to pull myself up.
I have just been and cleared all the dirty dishes, in DW and on or WU. Surfaces all wiped in kitchen and recycling taken out. WM is on. Bed made. Going to have lunch and enjoy an hour on the internet before going to work. Hoping that if I allow myself the hour on the internet I won't feel guilty about doing it and get into a silly guilty/fed up/do nothing loop, I can say it is "me" time. I don't have to be doing something all the time I am not at work.
Sorry to moan but writing things down helps me think clearly.
Hugs to all
