Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd March 2020

funfairprincess

Hi all x
Thanks to Natty and Valli for running the thread x
I've been in a total guddle. I've had workmen in doing my kitchen, it's nearly done but for a couple of cosmetic things but I couldn't stand it mentally any more after the weekend. I sat in my bedroom while they were working then scrubbed every surface in the house when they left, my anxiety was through the roof.
Anyways I have cleaned down everything, got all the rooms back to normal and I'm working through getting my washing done now. 
Just in for a list. Love and hugs to all x

I have sorted the baking cupboard and done more gardening.  Early lunch now.

Goodintentions

I'm having a break for lunch. I am sitting in the sunshine with a sandwich and a flask of tea. It's very quiet - listening to the birds singing. Just the occasional people walking past on the path on the other side of the hedge - including DS & DD2 walking the dog! I told them they would have to do it because I would have used my quota of exercise 🤣 
I have cut some grass, pottered and weeded. I have 2 large trugs of horse poo from another plot holder, so I will spread that in a mo. Then I need to plant the spuds and maybe head home after that.
DD1 has been told that they plan to exchange and complete tomorrow 🤞

I've made a decision 🙂

Every day if it's nice a sunny I am going to wear nice clothes i.e. an ironed skirt and top, instead of creased cleaned pj/lounge bottoms. And even though it's still technically winter I've shaved my legs and pits 🤪

Ok washing hanging on line blowing around
Kitchen mats are now going around the washing machine.
Folded up clean washing put away upstairs.

Fayolle

Just stopping for a bite to eat. 
I have spent the morning at the allotment, digging and planting all my shallots and onions. Tick from the list, and one less thing to be nagging at me. Not a soul there or on the way to and from, just rabbits having a whale of a time in the next field and the birds singing.
I have put up my new bird feeder in the garden, and filled up the existing ones. The blackbird is now very happy, as so far the jackdaws have kept away / can’t easily get to the new branch that I’m using.
2nd load in the wm - dressing gown - thank you to whoever mentioned that last week. One load already on the line.  
Next job - clean the ensuite, as it is a Tuesday job, and I think it is still Tuesday - losing track of days!

Loving the image of Goodi and Fayolle down on the lottie xx It sounds blissful.

Good to hear that DD1's plans are going ahead Goodi. Fingers crossed xx

Third load is swishing in WM. I did towels, then jeans, then that left half a load of light colours and half a load of dark - so I shoved then all in together to make a load. It's a lovely drying day. I have starlings nesting in the outhouse roof - they come back every year. There is a pair of wood pigeons and a pair of collared doves building nests in the large conifer. Snowdrops have been and gone, daffs are out, and bluebells and tulips are on their way. Oh and the sparrows have stripped the 'fluff' off the plume on my pampas grass - cosy eggs and baby birds somewhere. And the birds have had Sweetie's leftovers for brunch - waste not, want not.

2 wet beds last night.. speaks volumes.. and I am super chilled.. I have an awful dry tickly cough... typical of my hayfever but enough to make the entire world scream and run.. I have the snot and itchy dry eyes and the cough is only during the day.. it doesn't interrupt my sleep like it would if it were an actual illness.. I take hayfever meds about an hour before bed so all those nasty symptoms are quashed so I cn sleep.
In the garden hanging out laundry for 10 minutes.. and I feel awful... I do NOT like flowers!!! Stupid things.. I am concreteing my garden!! lol

OH having lunch and making a start on building the cat pen.. he needs to bobble for chicken wire when B&Queue sort themselves out but the fluffs all have cabin fever.

It has been deemed ok for children to pass between separated parents which means I have Fabian here... DS1 lives here so that is ok apparently.. DiL is keyworker so at work..

Dot cannot focus on school work so we are chilled until we get into a sensible place with her mentally I cannot get anything out of her. She has eaten the login details for all the online work she had to do .. I should have photographed them I know.. but I didn't.. so here we are.
Squeak has had to be forced to do work.. she wasnot happy about it.
Pixie has nearly completed all her paperwork and has done some online stuff.. she is responding very well to jellybean motivation.. if only OH responded to it so well!!

Kaz.. have a safe and speedy move my lovely .. see you on the other side!!
Round.. chill and get well..
Dance.. ty for FB info re Dot and gratz to those boys
YL... times like this show the love they have for one another as brothers .. that is such a wonderful and lovely thing. You are right to be super proud of them both xx

My mother is still stressing.. the brown bin got emptied but her yard brush broke.. it is the end of the world almost!
DD1 is still hysterical
DS1 is a kn0b... 1:30am he woke me up arguing with his gf/friend/idiot-ex.. they then went in the street to scream at one another and then came back in.. I have had a yell this morning.. he is the sole cause of my twitchy stress eye!
Boog just got the 'do not go outside or you will ddiiiiiiieeeeeee' text... he has social anxiety and doesn't go out anyway..

I have done 3 loads of washing, just going to hang those out and put 2 more loads in.
DW has done one load and I will go refill that.
Recycling has gone out
Bread purchased

Back in a bit.
