Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd February 2020

Jazee

So I did some admin then went back to bed. Having been up about an hour and feeling much improved I have

Changed the bedding
Sort of got dressed and washed to a standard ok for staying in
Dusted surfaces in bedroom
Sorted and put away yesterday's washing
Got first of three wash loads in machine
Washed up, left to drain
Dusted dusty bits in living room

Now sitting Down again for a while.

Well, that was an hour I wasn't planning on spending the way I spent it!

Landline rang: automated voice saying my bank card was having over £600 sent to a foreign country :eek:. Scam, methinks and hangs up.

But seed of doubt has been sown so:

I've been to town and whilst there I dropped off a black bin bag full of DS's cast offs at the cs (note to self: black bin bags are heavy when full :cool: - might be better to fill smaller bags!); called at the bank and checked my balance plus provided my mobile phone number to be phoned in case of suspicious activity on my account. I don't think they even have my landline number! Filled Pip with petrol, and on the way home I paid the rent and called to see Mr C00p - YS quiche for lunch :money:

I've crossed off the 'give bank my mobile number' which went on my to do list on 3rd August and pegged out second load of washing.

I am now recovering from :eek: and hefting a bin bag through town

Glad to hear you are better than you were Jazee xx

Sink is all nice and sparkly again (water marks are a pain here as it's a very hard water area where I live, so it doesn't look like that for long - plus whoever thought that brushed stainless steel was a good idea instead of the shiny type, needs their head checked). I have realised that our draining rack is on its way out though, so now need to find a good one to replace it - have created a thread if anyone wants to add their thoughts.


1 load in TD, our bedsheets in WM. Still need to put 1 dry load away but DS2 is not looking in the slightest bit tired, and unfortunately cannot be trusted for very long if I go upstairs without him. I may see if can convince him to come and watch tv in his cot whilst I put it all away.

Good afternoon

Not much been achieved here today. We have been to town to pick up some toiletries & printer paper. We also need a new laundry basket (for filling & emptying the WM) but W!lkos didn’t have one and the one in Mr S was tiny!

I’ve now had some lunch. So now it’s time to take my tub full of smelly compost to the allotment bin to finish off, and maybe spend a little time tidying up down there. It has been neglected too long!

Evening all.

Well done, round :T, you are inspirational. It sounds like this Not At Work Monday thing is really working for you.

This evening I have crossed a few of the level 1’s off the list. I should really do something else useful for an hour or so but unfortunately cba . Monday is the only evening that I have the LR to myself so I get full control of the remote - and that includes the off button, iyswim.

Non-work day tomorrow, so I’ll see how far I get with jobs before I have to go out at 2.30. A list is needed, methinks.

Oh... and to make you longer members feel oh so very old.... Jacob is 11 today!
