Weekly Flylady Thread 30th December 2019

Narc0lepsy

Welcome to newbies.
Started the day by gritting teeth and getting on scales. Seriously bad, worst ever.
Started to address the blubber by going to body balance then zumba. . . Then out to lunch with a friend. Yes, I know.
Organised some emails.
Started a report.
That's it. Decorations will stay till 12th night.

ASB Pigger's points numbered 1,2,3 are spot on. I remember telling someone who stayed with an abusive husband for the sake of her children (he put her in hospital more than once) was a waste; they wouldn't thank her for it. If you're not happy the children will know. Well done for saying it; you'll be fine BUT if you need thinking space don't be afraid to ask the doctor for a fit note. We're here and we're with you all the way. Much love x

All decs away; lounge vacuumed. No idea why the tree had developed such a lean...I know it's early, but I could no longer cope with the cat attacking it.
Bed stripped and remade with clean bedding, some of which was line dried.
Went to town; best bargain was smoked salmon in M&S - YS to 69p From £4.50. I bought 4 packs as it will fit in the freezer!
All my to-ing and fro-ing wore me out and I had to have a nap!

Valli mantra reinstated to (a) remind me and (b) remind all flyladies lol

I have decluttered two years' worth of college notes and gained 15" of shelf space. One of us will have to go to the tip tomorrow

It turns out that the Bakewell tart/strudel hybrid that DD rustled up yesterday went home with them last night - I was looking forward to a bit of it for supper, but it's not worth driving 120 miles to get a taste :rotfl:

Good evening

Thanks for the lists - I will try my best!

I have been AWOL (again!!) I don't know what day it is, and I have eaten too much rubbish :rotfl:

Today we have walked the dog and done a food shop. No biscuits or chocolate was purchased! I am feeling bloated, and all the bad food is giving me reflux DH wants to do Parkrun on New Years Day, and he has signed me up for the couch to 5K (again) which starts next Monday (I asked him to!!). I also need to get back to eating some vegetables! I will be brave & stand on the scales on the 1st Jan!!
I really want to take the decorations down and get back to 'normal'. Hopefully I can do that Wednesday. Back to work on Thursday. I have also been working on my accounts - I want them done by tomorrow, which then gives me a month to find the money to pay the taxman! :eek:

Tomorrow I am home alone, so I will make a little list to work through:

• [STRIKE]wash bedding[/STRIKE]
• take down cards (it's a start!)
• find a place for all the gifts we have been given
• clean bathroom
• [STRIKE]wash up[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]put on DW[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]empty DW[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]finish accounts[/STRIKE]
• put away table
• visit Mum
• sort out food bin
• clear out bathroom cabinet

Ok - that'll do for starters!

Hugs to those that need them, especially ASB. i haven't read back, but I get the gist. I can only echo what others have said, esp Pigpen and Valli Be strong!

Sat in bed crying, reading stories on Mumsnet of ladies who have left and are happier, and searching for smaller homes as no way can I afford ours alone. All of these things sound silly but I need to focus my mind on something for me. I have also just opened my own little bank account.

anyway.. flying...

I have tipped 21 binbags of rubbish, removed 7 huge boxes and 5 binbags to charity shop, sorted 3 binbags for my sisters friends children, 1 binbag for DD1, 1 binbag for DIL2 and filled 2 wheelies bins... I have spent time in 3 rooms.. I have the back room to do which I was going to do today but decided I had to sort other stuff first.. 4 parcels ebeasted to PO, Lidl run for milk, returned the keyboard we bought Squeak for christmas.. pile of carp that was.. but I need to replace that now and collected prescriptions..

Piggers how the heck do you do it? I can just about look at a bin bag let alone fill them. I'm always afraid to send to the charity shop even though I could probably fill up their book shelves...not sure what afraid of,it's one of my irrationalities..

Can't really offer any words of wisdom asb as when I left DH I came back and we worked it out, and yes I do believe we are stronger although we do still have our moments.. Although the fact I went a bit bonkers might have helped..and ended up having 5 years of intensive treatment.

So I just wanted to give you a huge (((((hug)))) xxxx
