Weekly Flylady Thread 2 March 2020

pigpen

where you all gone? I'm sat here with my cuppa thinking about food.. I will do that in a mo.. ALL BY MYSELF.. no Boog, no smalls, no kittens (sleepy time!) ... alone with my mess and my thinks.

Washing brought in from yesterday, it looks like it might rain but lo and behild the washing is dry!

I went to shop.. bought reduced ham, reduced pies, reduced bagels and reduced mushrooms.. pennies saved!

Afternoon tasks (before I forget) ..

TD repair.. they will hate me!
WM repair? .. can I do that online?
ebay listings once I get my phone back from DS1.

I've been sorting out my presentation for later.  Took ages.  Also finally had a bath, got dressed and walked the dogs.  Sitting down now for half an hour before going out.

Boog applied for 12 apprenticeships and 5 jobs.. and no doubt will hear nothing back from any of them!!

Goodness me it's cold!  I have just put a second jumper on and am still freezing. might be going to school wrapped in a duvet at this rate!

Very sorry to hear about the TC incompetence, Pigpen.

Went out for a meeting this morning.  Good but long, and a 45-minute drive there and back again.
Cam home to a missed phonecall and umpteen emails including the B&D certificates that I was waiting for yesterday - they are right ones.  

Off to exercise class very soon, so Rosie will have to wait for her walk until I get back.  She will not be pleased.  But I have just enough time now to put the SC on to cook the veg for tea .

Afternoon all!

Firstly, sending hugs to all who want or need them - sounds like quite a few people are having a tough time of it at the moment. I hope that the chemo is going or goes well Yorkshirelass.

Pigpen I'm sorry to hear about the Tax Credit problems. It does seem completely unfair that they are able to take away the money like that with no actual assessment being done. Also, how did you get on with the Dr regarding the spotting? My hormones have been all over the place too since stopping feeding in September, but I'm not sure whether it's because I'm perimenopausal (not been diagnosed, just theorising) or whether it's because it takes up to a year to settle your hormones after stopping. My cycles are completely unpredictable now. Good luck to your kiddiwinks with their job applications.

Well aside from putting a bit of laundry away this morning, and doing food shopping and all of my survey sites, flying hasn't really been accomplished much today. DS1 had an open morning at school this morning, and it was lovely reading all of his books. Then I decluttered a huge amount of money at the vet having blood tests for Little Black Furry Cat and will have to declutter even more when the results come through for his medication, so I really hope that I get some supply work this week. I haven't had any paid work for a few weeks and I'm starting to feel the lack of funds too. Need to start looking into nurseries of childminders for DS2 as he'll get his 15 hour funding in April I hope.

Now here is something that I don’t get to write much ever these days.....drum roll....all levels on Monday and Tuesday’s lists are done! I’ve also managed to squeeze in an hour in the greenhouse, and run the errands in small town.  Unfortunately the small shop turned into more pennies than expecting, so the existing supplies will have to eke out yet again. 
Just making some soup for tomorrow’s lunch with leftover ends of veg from the fridge, then it’s back out to take DD to her class.

Volunteering done ,sorted of sleeted for a short while.

Various solicitors / estate agents chased / my sister chased over another matter!

Paypal account emptied into my bank account, it will help with the vast cost of the move.

Fayolle said:  Round - your inspiration has a lot to answer for - I found myself cleaning all the tiles in the ensuite 😉. I even split it into “rounds” as I went 🤣.

This made me grin. I don't think I'll ever get used to the idea that I'm an 'inspiration' in the cleaning realm though  

Very busy day at the paid stuff; paid the rent before I went to dad's, and then called at Mr C00p before coming home. Not flying tonight - no spoons left.

If you need any help re funding feel free to message me  You could also check if you are entitled to the 30 hours via childcarechoices.gov website.

Paid stuff done, but that's about it! DH has washed his car (but not mine!), and filled 2 trugs for me (he has in fact over-filled them, and I am going to struggle to take them to the allotment but ho-hum!). I need to do my report, but I am procrastinating!

I am not bothering with drs unless it becomes a problem I just haven't had it before but I have also never stopped breastfeeding before without being pregnant already .. I think I am a couple of years more ancient than you so it could be the stopping boofing I guess.. My bloods have never come back saying I have any problems but I'm not sure they checked those hormones... I am clueless clearly .. they just squeal about thyroid and anaemia.. not quite sure what they expect me to do tbh.. it's not like I can vampire blood out of someone else!

I need to go collect laundry from my mothers (borrowed her dryer!) but Dot is still messing so I doubt she will be sleeping tonight.. she has her class assembly tomorrow so she is all over the place today.
