Weekly Flylady Thread 7th October 2019

wishingthemortgaheaway

Living room emptied for hubby to crack on with the stripping tomorrow - I've done my bit, time for himself to do his!

Food shop for the week done, washing pretty much up to date.
House reasonably tidy.

Wish.

Morning :hello:

Bed is made. WM is swishing,

I walked in to the living room before applying my mental filter this morning and saw the room as it is. :eek:_pale__pale_ And breathe...

Part of me wants to cry; part of me feels sick; and part of me is examining the room and thinking: cs, cs, kitchen, needs a new home somewhere, DS's room. The power of flylady :T

I think the time has come to keep on keeping on with the kitchen and to make a start on the living room.

There's a song in my head now 'Little by little I'm moving forward, step by step I'm on my way'.

(I still feel a bit sick though )

Any Willis up yet?

Morning


Raining here, so made the right choice not to go car booting!
So breakfast eaten
OH has been up since silly o'clock and has watched the grand prix, and has moved onto the rugby for now.


I will hoover round, but not sure what else for the rest of the day.

Rain here as forecast so WM then TD. It was towels because I cleaned the bathroom. Might do a full vacuum round then that will do until either next week or half term. I'm finding out I'm covering on a week-by-week basis.
Need to do some admin, work prep and marking today.
I also ran DW.
Pleased I went to town yesterday as it was dry.

[Morning

Sunday Willi reporting for duty!

We had a late night and a looooong rainy drive back so taking a while to come round this morning. I have bedrooms and bathroom to do and the dailies. I am going to deep clean one of the rooms while DH is here to help move the furniture.

Pouring down here so doubt we will be getting out for a walk. So I shall finish my cuppa and try and locate my GUAG.

Back later with progress report.

Good luck round step by step is the only way to do it x

Me again (Feel free to block me if I'm too much )

Oh my :eek: Rose tinted glasses are definitely off this morning _pale__pale_ H/S/L is ok; everywhere else is erm… not If I wasn't me I wouldn't want to live here. I know DS's GF prefers to be here as 'everyone is nice to each other' but all I can say is - never put your glasses on Amy! (I found out that is why she crashes around everywhere - she can't actually see too well without her specs but she chooses not to wear them.)

Ok the reality is pretty grim - erm no pretty about it, it's grim!

Also, reality is that I'm out of the house 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (commutes / paid stuff/ visiting Dad) and in bed 10pm to 6.30 am (sleeping / dreaming / recovering from dreams). My job isn't physically challenging but mentally it can be draining and I am aware that by Thursday / Friday I am often running on fumes (especially as I'm also using energy to block MM's negativity) so I have to save spoons earlier in the week to prevent burn out. It feels like I'm making excuses for not-flying - but I'm not. I'm looking for where I can realistically up the ante. On paper I have five and a half hours a day when I am not at work or asleep - obviously I need to wash / dress / cook / eat - but that still leaves about three hours a day - which I am currently spending..... reading or watching tv. I can see where this is going :rotfl:

Sorry if I'm boring you - I needed to work that out for myself. Not wanting to set myself up to fail: if I aim for HHC each evening that will surely MAD? And Weekend Willi will be able to tackle bigger projects. So that's when you do the dailies Round 30 minutes each evening - and there won't be a mountain of pots taking up chunks of weekend. And it's taken me 59 years to work that out!!! heyho

I'm blaming the Vitamin D for all this. My therapist says I'm in/on an 'ascension'. If it leads to a haven instead of a hovel I don't care if it's the fault / inspiration of little green men in purple latex

Flying? I'm washed and dressed. Clean, dry, washing has been taken upstairs, and the laundry shuffle has made room for today's WM x 1.

Let's start as we mean to go on: HHC anyone?

Morning everyone. Raining here too. I attempted a walk with the dogs but we all agreed to come home after five minutes.

So far today I have

Watered indoor plants and checked vases of flowers
Polished kitchen sink
S&sd bathrooms and emptied bins in both rooms
Made bed
Put yesterday's washing away
Done physio

I really need to finish the birthday gift next as I have paid stuff to do later.

In my HHC I:

set the timer
started Cat Stevens' CD
put living room and kitchen bin bags in the bin*
put new bin bags in situ
put out the recycling*
fed the birds*
WUDUPA x 2 bowls of pots :T
3rd bowl of pots is soaking in hot soapy water**
beep beep
Cat Stevens is on pause **

*It's tipping down here but I put my shoes on and went out to get all my outside jobs done whilst the first bowl of pots soaked.

** I can't face another HHC so soon after that one, but I want to get those pots WUDUPA and that will just leave pans and baking trays to do - so QHC anyone?

Morning all,

Up since 5.30 with DS :eek::cool: on the plus side I have:

- Done the VAT
- emailed my boss
- cooked a full English
- tidied the kitchen
- hoovered the kitchen
- make a big pan of bolognese

Will browse on here for a while now; need to clean the WM as accidentally put a Brasso soaked cloth in with the clothes and the smell won't shift :eek:

Any ideas ladies? X
