Weekly Flylady Thread 25th February 2019

Jumping back in. With one thing and another including a great deal of head in the sand and procrastination, I have let things slide. This morning the hairdresser came and so I had to run around and play catch up. This brought home how I need to keep on top of things especially as whilst she was here a large cobweb made good its escape and was dangling down.:o . So now she has gone cobwebs have been cleared in the kitchen and from the beams in the family room. As I've already done loads today I will jump in from tomorrow.

Well that was a massive fail, of the nurses, whilst very kind etc, after 7 goes 2 of them failed to get blood out of me, I refused any more goes after that.
New appointment booked for next week!

WM done and out on line but sun is now going down
SIL visited, not a lot else as it is a 3 hour round trip for the visit.

Hi ladies,

Another busy day at the paid stuff. Started badly because I logged onto DH work banking this morning to find they are at their overdraft limit people are pushing payment as late as they can and it's really, really hard to cope. They keep business outgoings as low as they can but it seems things are increasing at every turn, insurance, tax, pension contributions. Transferred what little was in our current account over to try and help. So basically we are utterly skint, working hard and DH still working away.

Needless to say I've had a bit of a sob. This contract ends in 2 months. I need him at home more. I have asked our SLT for more hours, there is more sixth form teaching I can cover, so fingers crossed.

Moan over. Washing in off the line, DW about to go on, kids bathed.

Big hugs are needed all round.

I've done nothing flying wise - hubby has taken plaster off the living room and dining room walls, he's chasing cables. So, it's going to be lovely when done, it's just not lovely now.

How is there another full sink of washing up?

He brought back a takeaway.


Oh well, if I don't do it now, I'll be wide awake later.

Back soon.

That turned into

Washing up.

Emptying random festering crockery in the fridge and washing up.

Finding leftover mash hidden in a pan.

Taking recycling out.

Taking bin bags out. It's not collected until Monday (assuming it wasn't that they just didn't bother this week) but it's overfull already.

Putting tea, coffee and assorted biscuits by the kettle ready for keeping the Boiler Man happy tomorrow.

Cleaning the top of the microwave.

Cleaning the top of the fridge.

Sweeping the floor.

Sweeping the living room floor.

Putting the cloths into the WM and topping up with a white wash.

Considering chucking the toaster into the bath with him so it gets a nice, deep clean as the poor, tired dear relaxes in the bath. I did nearly ask 'Why? Did you do something?' when he said he was tired, but I bit it back. :mad:


The Numpty must have an inkling I'm not best pleased about this. But if I leave it for him, it won't get done and I want a clean house more than I want to wait for him to do it.

Not bad progress for roughly half an hour, though. I've easily come up with about five plans for the Perfect Murder as I've gone along, too.

Well.. I'm rubbish.. I am reading.

I have filled a wheelie bin today. My bins were emptied this morning haha!!

I have taken the front room curtains down and put up new, plain red ones which look super weird.. 14 years I had the old ones up!! I am shortening them and putting them up in the back room and taking the non-matchy blue ones down.

I have written a new Toots list.. It is shorter, and more expensive than the previous one and it starts with my PPI refund paying for a downstairs loo and a shower cubicle so I will, for the first time in 7.5 years, be able to bathe at home!!

I have written down all the upcoming appointments.. there are oodles of them!! and.. I have the smear results back and all is fine and dandy there.

DW and WM's and TD been running almost constantly for days.

On the flinging I have binned so much in the last week.. I have been systematically binning OH's cruddy tshirts.. I binned and replaced all his kegs a while ago.. it distressed him greatly but I didn't care, I will not lovingly and carefully wash and fold rags. I have my eye on another 3-4 tshirts to fling.

I have a bookcase to empty and deliver to DS1.. and my sisters friend is moving into her own home next week.. her nasty boyfriend (who has been questionable in his behaviour previously) Came home after working away for 3 weeks and told her she had to move out with their 2 small girls before he was home again in 4 weeks time.. his parents own the house so she had no choice. She has absolutely nothing so I am kitting out her kitchen and doing a lot of flinging in her direction! Men are disgusting.


Still not emptied the middle room but it is high up on my list!

I can report that the bed in the study bedroom is now clear of all papers, birthday presents, toddlers' toys, etc. Long may it last!

Today I have
- started writing my piece for church on Sunday
- hoovered through downstairs and dusted the LR
- cleared leaves and weeds from the hellebores border and trimmed the lawn edge
- cleared goose grass from the back border
- emptied one big trug of home made compost into the new raised bed for vegetables
- planted 12 raspberry canes in pots
- cleared the dead leaves off the hosta pots and covered the shoots with wool pellets that deter slugs (not cheap, but effective)
- swept dead leaves from inside the mini-greenhouse
- disposed of all leaves etc in the copse at the back of our house, whence they came!
- taken Rosie for her walk
- cooked lunch and tea
- eaten two honey sandwiches because I was still hungry - oops!
- found a dog-friendly holiday cottage in the area we wanted, for the dates we wanted, at a sensible price, and booked it

Before I go to bed I must check the time of tomorrow afternoon's training session in cathedral city, and update my diary with the holiday and some extra meeting dates.

Morning :hello:

I knew I wasn't going back to sleep when I looked at the clock and my brain said 'It's Crackerjack' - seriously! When did I last watch that programme? Think Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze. And it's not Friday! (Thank goodness )
I lay 'til 6am thinking H2H thoughts (seriously! It's bin day tomorrow and I was thinking what I can bin/ fling / recycle ), then I got up and came down for a brew. Sweetie was not impressed - I got a baleful one-eye-half-open glare lol

I've had a brew and read a couple of chapters. I want to strip DS's bed but he's still in it, and probably will be til mid-morning as he's days off too. I brought the raggy sheet and exploding pillow down from my bed - fling

Another brew and breakfast first - then I'll crack on with the dailies.

Have a good day everyone
Rxx

Mademoiselle

Hugs to all those that need or want.

Ceremony yesterday was good, felt quite excited when they called us up, me OH and then DD1 (DD2 has had double nationality since she was 14). And it is a huge sigh of relief to have it all sorted and received the official documents before end of March. Now just need to go and get put on the electoral register so we can finally vote. Feel like a weight has been lifted, as it has taken just over a year for the application to go through but we started the ball rolling 2 years ago and it has always been in the back of our minds 'what if it doesn't go through'. Thursday I have an appointment to present all documents to order new id/passport then the very big file can be put away. Believe me that will be done immediately, I will be so glad to see the back of it.

Off to work in half an hour and working all day but will try and shop on the way home and then do a few bits in the house

Have a nice day, last day of sunshine here before the rain arrives for the weekend.
