Weekly Flylady Thread 20th January 2020

Jazee

Before going out for first meeting I sorted out my make up. Only discovered recently that make up has dates on. Some was from 2008. Threw lots away and cleaned brushes. Yuck. No wonder that I have such a spotty face at the moment.

No more flying today. Going to chill before next meeting tonight. There will be a buffet so I'm trying not to eat any more crumblies but my mouth is watering just at the thought of them.

Doogie walked
I’m still in the kitchen but 2 more of the bottom cupboards have been emptied, cleaned, dejunked and the stuff put back. Surprisingly DH didn’t challenge it and decluttered it all from the kitchen!
He bought a new pan on his trip out “as it was a bargain”. So I now have to sort the pan cupboard.
DH is trying to arrange delivery of our new to us sofa next week.

Lots of flying going on everyone, I can't live up to you all.
Yesterday- caught up with emails, went to gym, had drumming lesson, went to Mr T. Started a report in the new format. Makes my brain hurt.
Today - went to zumba, fed birds, did a bit of pruning, hung out two loads of washing, continued with report. Now kitchen floor is down, next step is for a granite man to re-fit the bit of worktop which has shifted, Mr N currently taking photos to send him.

Well hello sexymouse...wife and mummy now? wow

Yes - I think I may have been flying as the wife in the early days before Bean came along, but have only dipped my toe in and out a couple of times since. Eldest Bean is 7, and youngest (rainbow baby as we lost a little girl in between) is 3 in a few weeks.



For some reason I didn't get any notifications of this thread today so apologies for the lack of thank yous for welcoming me back. :hello:



We've been having our road dug up for the past couple of weeks by the water board who are installing new pipes. Today the water was turned off for the majority of the day, so I escaped the house to go to a toddler group with unlimited hot drinks, and the ability to wash my hands after nappy changes. Then food shopping. Very little flying done, but will try to make up for it tomorrow.

Everything makes much more sense now in regards to spoons and frogs

Evening all :wave: My goodness, everyone is keen! (except me )

Not a lot of flying done so far this week. Today I have
- sorted some payments
- cooked a nice meal in the SC
- visited the residents in one of our local care homes and had a very interesting and humorous conversation with one old lady about her time working as an admin assistant in the local police station
- sorted DH out: his horse piddle procedure booked for tomorrow has been cancelled by the consultant because DH didn't stop taking his anti-coagulant soon enough, but he now has a new appointment on Monday 3rd Feb. Unfortunately he is going away overnight on 31/1st, which makes following the strict diet difficult. Fortunately it is to the lovely place where I was last weekend, where they bend over backwards to look after people on special diets. Phew!
- arranged a short work visit for tomorrow, just to introduce myself to a local business
- arranged a longer work visit for next Monday afternoon, which will involve a certain amount of preparation
- rearranged my nails appointment, which should have been on that Monday afternoon
- took Rosie for her walk (but she's still bouncy)
- went to my exercise class: hard work today :j:j:j:eek:
- did WMx3, hung it all up in the bathroom
- emptied all bins and washed them out
- changed my pot scourer for a new one
- had a late afternoon appointment for myself at the eye clinic: all is good and I'm not being recalled for a year :T

Tomorrow morning I aim to get up early enough to clean both fridges before I go out, while they are empty, then go shopping and re-fill them. It looks like I shall be out for most of the day with a friend, so that's another Extra sorted

Happy Flying to all who can, and posivibes to those who can't atm xxx

Ah, thanks for explaining - didn't know what a rainbow baby is. I share a birthday with biggest bean!

List for tomorrow is up.

Hi all

Busy day of paid stuff, furniture has been delivered, DH and I just finished unpacking it, it’s very nice and I’m really looking forward to getting that room finished now. Although it won’t be done for another month or so!

Laundry dried outside
WM loaded for tomorrow
Dailies done
Kitchen and bathroom s/s
Downstairs loo s/s
Scrubbed utility room, cleaned out the cupboards, threw some junk away and tidied back what should be in there, washed the floor, shined the sink and cleaned the window, it’s only a tiny room but it felt like an achievement on a working day.
Admin and filing not done... putting that off again

I’m off to bed now, back tomorrow x
