Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd March 2020

Natty68

I have changed the list from today and have included deep cleaning and decluttering for those that want to declutter. Hope this is what you want

FGS... you would think everyone had been ordered to donate both kidneys and a lung...

DD1 is understandably having chickens.. she has a baby due in 5 weeks..

My mother has asked if she is banned from my house

My nail lady wants to pitch a tent on my garden
My son will not be pinned down and if he is out which he is 99% of the time does that mean no one else can leave my house?

I have a stress twitch in my eye now, and the girls have been good as gold.. apart from Twinkle falling down the stairs.

Very sorry you're stuck where you are for the time being, kazwookie and also GI's DD2 xx

Achieved most of my own list today - plenty more where that came from!  Also did levels 1+2.

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round.  We will get through this together xxx

Dancemum well done, you must be so proud.
Kaz what a bu**er about your move.
We've had a reasonable day. Started off with a load of gardening. Had good chat (at a good distance) with a few neighbours and we all plan to "meet" for coffee tomorrow i.e. each sit in our front gardens at 11am to wave and have social non-contact. 
I went to practice the drums, just as well I did.  My frequent running route actually goes past the chapel, so I could conceivably happen to drop in and practice mid-run (assuming I can run carrying drumsticks, headphones and music) but I'm guessing that would not really be good behaviour.  I was discussing with my mum the 2 things I will miss most - the drums and also going out for a ride on the motorbike. She suggested the bike could be seen as exercise.......no not really.  However trillions of people will miss far more than those activities so I'm not actually moaning, just passing comment.
Spent a lot of time trying to get on a webinar and being kicked off, apparently it was oversubscribed because the forum running it published the link on site, when actually Zoom has a limit of participants.  Spent the next half hour reading and deleting messages from other would-be participants.   In fact so many emails these days are about Coronavirus I feel like its full-time social secretary.  And there is so much stuff on line to keep us amused, I'm convinced the internet will crash totally soon.
Mr N's gym has provided free access to all the Les Mills workouts, usually subscription only, so we did half an hour of Grit in the lounge which was pretty hilarious with me bumping into the sofa and himself kicking the CD rack......I sent a text apologising to the neighbours in case they thought we were beating each other up, but fortunately they hadn't heard anything.
Cooked up a load of mince, veg, leftover pepperoni from Sunday's pizza and used a precious jar of pasta sauce. It did us with spaghetti this eve; tomorrow I'll throw in a can of chilli beans (having put in a chilli pepper from the freezer) and that will be enough for tomorrow and one for the freezer.
After Boris's speech I dived onto the milkman site, was at one stage customer 1563 in the queue but managed to order some yoghurts as that is all we need. And cancelled Wednesday's milk as we have loads.
Continued one of the difficult reports.
Hm not sure how much of this counts as flying; more like a rambling diary......sorry

Hi all Round glad work have been OK with you.  Sorry to hear about the house move Kaz.  We are all struggling a bit here.  DS1 has had one of the "do not leave the house under any circumstances for 12 weeks, open the window if you need fresh air" text messages.  DS2 is finding it hard to stay in isolation in his room, DS1 is monitoring his movement and checking his handwashing constantly.  DH now thinks he cant carry on working, how 4 of us are supposed to live on wage I am not sure.  And work is madness, I am so behind with it all.  However, we have a milkman now, we have an As@a delivery booked for Saturday and enough to keep us going until then.  The house is tidy (boys are not leaving their rooms, one terrified of spreading virus, one terrified of catching it).  I need coffee and breakfast.  Oh and did I tell you that our one and only shower has died?

Morning all
Lovely sunny morning here, but bitterly cold. 
 
Bed made, clothes picked up
WM 1
Cats tray done
Pellet stove cleaned, reloaded and back on

OH working from home so need to try and do quiet tasks so back to sorting.

I was active enough yesterday, managed 10K steps and activitiy for 9 of 9 hours so pleased with that considering the circumstances.  

Hugs to those who need or want.  SMILE

Well to you tip removal workers?

It seems they are on their way.................... I really am on tender hooks............

It seems where we are going, will still 'currently' take us, as it will become our primary residence. fingers cross, or we will  have to sleep in the car, mind you they have shut all the car parks......

Morning all.
DD hotfooted it last night before the announcement as we rather suspected lockdown.  I have told DS's GF she needs to pick a household and stick to it, as has her mum.  DS has gone to work but I rather suspect they may well close.
I'm going to garden again this morning; the cleaning can wait.  As it's a non-work day I won't officially be workinf but I'll check email later just in case.
But I am going to do a daily wipedown of handles, switches etc that's house wide.

Congrats to the Danceboys.

Morning xx

Congratulations to dancemum's DS1 and DS2 - woot woot xx

Sorry to hear that the house move is on hold Kazw and Goodi's DD2 - this too will pass (eventually) xx

Virtual hugs to every one of you   xx

Either people still aren't listening, or there are a lot of key workers living round here as I've been watching a stream of cars go past my house since 6.55am - tbf there is a potato packing plant down the road - but I still think BJ will need to deploy (is that the word) the Army to make this work. And there's my neighbour gone to work - he's a joiner. And there's a lorry gone past with the wooden parts of a house roof. If I had the energy I'd stamp my feet!

Day 11 of my 11 days off and Day 11 of the lurgie. It's got to end some time hasn't it?  I'm following flylady orders and taking it easy again today. I'm telling myself there'll be lots of opportunities to carry on with the flying and decluttering once I'm well, but it's so frustrating. I had so much planned. Enough already. So did everyone else Round. 

I will feed the birds and put out the recycling. And I will stop freaking out because no-one else around here seems to be following the new rules. That is out of my control. 

Take care. Keep yourself safe

ETA Hope all goes well today Kazw xx

11.35am Edit: they are on a tea break, all of upstairs is empty, OH and I have cleaned it is all finished, except for the bathroom which has everything we need for the next 10 to 12 weeks in it! all that will go in our cars.

The bagless thingy is (yuk) been empties 3 times and I thought my house carpets were clean!
