Weekly Flylady Thread 6th January 2020

Jazee

Dailies and dog walk done. Have emptied bins and washed them out. One wash load swishing.

Have also fed the birds. The feeder is quite enclosed. At the moment two large pigeons are standing guard trying to work out how to get to the food and stopping all the little birds.

Thank you to whoever has loaned me their guag but could you please take it back again now??! :rotfl:

Bedroom thoroughly swept, including discovering that DH’s case of treasures rescued from FiL’s house has managed to multiply under the bed.
En-suite, kitchen and downstairs loo floors swept and mopped.
Bathroom given a s&s
Recycling out. Bins emptied. Kitchen bin cleaned.
Essentials bought from local c00p rather than traipsing to town and spending way more than necessary. I’ve lurked around the grocery challenge for years and always fall off the trolley as it were after a couple of months.

I need to look at the extras list from yesterday and also plan what furniture is needed for the rescued RoD.

Paperwork is mounting due to me adopting a bit of a s&s approach for the past few months. A finance Toots list might be what I need if I can summon up the enthusiasm.

Valli.. have a gander at Olio.. loads of people give away food (and non-food stuff) still edible but around date or homemade and surplus.. saves binning stuff.

Kaz.. always busy.. I'm utterly exhausted this week which I am suspecting may be due to disturbances in the hormonal plain and the red cell deficit.

Paying 3 last bills for January.. the rest are all on SO/DD so deal with themselves. I still have swimming, music, dinner monies, trips and the holiday to pay for so nowhere near 'done'. I need to pay a bit of CC off too.. aiming to get the assessment done for Dot around easter so I need to majorly crack on with that.

Washing to catch up on today.. and some more socks to sort/fling/pair, school stuff to sort for the uniform swap on Thursday.. I might see if they have a couple of bigger cardies for the girls but I am just after flinging really.

Bills and a cuppa first then dealing with the tree et al then lunch, nursery drop off, foody bit buying and the list... I'm just not getting to the list am I?! haha.. I rarely do!

Jazee

Me again. In between trying to make progress with a presentation I have cleaned the tiles, sides and small appliances in kitchen.

I'll bear that in mind for the future but the h/m stuff was a good week+ old; the other stuff had all been opened at least a week.
