Weekly Flylady Thread 11 May 2020

Mademoiselle

Morning all,  I'm in again this week.  A few changes in the routine here as OH has gone back into work rather than working from home.  He's not happy about it but has given in to peer pressure.  I am not working this week, maybe next week, waiting for more info.  Typical, I could go for a walk without a limit on time and distance and without a piece of paper filled in and guess what? It's wet and windy so not inclined to put my nose out.    I guess I've got no excuses not to do some housework.  

So far,
Up, showered, dressed and had breakfast
Packed lunch made for OH so he doesn't have to go to the canteen
DW unloaded (thanks OH)
Bed made, clothes picked up

Off to sort out a load of washing, and do something.

See you later

Morning all

Did some knitting last night (band of cardigan) so that should be finished in short order.  Next project - patchwork.  Using my sewing machine making half square triangle units.
But first flying

Morning xx

I resisted the urge to get up at 4.50 am  and eventually went back to sleep (woot woot) and woke up at 7.40 am. How civilised is that   
I've drunk my first brew whilst catching up with the thread and fb. Time for a second brew and breakfast then:
Round 1 =
get washed and dressed
feed the birds
put out recycling

WM x1

aka dailies  

Looking from my bedroom window this morning I spotted goose grass among my lavender border! At the FRONT of the house. It's a new triffid!!!! It will be removed.

Morning
Than you for this weeks post, I shall be in again but will most likely be level 1 all week as I need to get us all back into some kind of routine at home.

Things have been slowly going down hill since the kids finished school and we have become slobs (except the house work thanks to this groups!). This weekend was a complete disaster with me feeling very very low and the little people completely wild.

I want to put in place again -

• Set bedtime

• Eating regular meals and mainly at the table

• Up & Dressed in the morning

• Physical activity

• Some sort of school work

Also No TV during the day (for me) and no electronic gadgets until physical activity and school work done (for kids)

Yes I know that all sound very basic but doing any of it has been a real struggle the last few weeks and I think it is making my mental health suffer

Positive vibes to all x

Sitting here listening to the racket of the main road going non stop for the first time since March. 

Himself is in work for training this week, so I'm letting him get away with staying in bed (still opened the curtains as I got up, though - no point in guaranteeing his staying asleep until mid afternoon, is there?).

Finally decided to risk sowing the seven beans I harvested and dried a couple of years back (found at the back of the cupboard where they'd fallen from the drawer above) - so I've also technically decluttered 7 toilet roll inners, a largish plant pot and saucer. Because we're not quite out of frosts yet, the pot is now sitting happily on top of the coffee machine by the boiler - two weeks should get them big enough to plant out.

I need somebody to bring a herd of Guinea Pigs into the back garden to deal with the Goose Grass. It's the one thing I can't go anywhere near, as it makes my entire arms swell and burn, even with gloves. Country folk get mates with goats or sheep to come round for similar reasons, after all...

I did some private grumbling about That Speech. Mostly centred around the Tony Blair style method of delivery (structure, pace, rhythm/cadences and the damned table and air pumping nonsense), but some about how that means there will be tons of people now 'needing' to take their 'daily unlimited exercise' somewhere miles and miles away, like Devon. 

Might push the steam mop around when I'm bored of waiting for work emails to ping through, but other than that, it's all under control at the moment. And although it's much cooler and very blustery, at least the sun is out at present.

Morning.  Hope you're all ok.

With the exception of putting recycling out, the Mondailies are done.  WM swishing away.  I've just had a mad dash into the garden to bring the washing in as we have hail.  Admin to do next.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all

Day off for me yay!

I am showered and dressed, dailies done, car taken out, big nail in side of tyre... eeeek. New one ordered, will be in tomorrow.
WM  x 1 done, it’s pegged very firmly on the line as it’s pretty blowy here... next step, scrub the kitchen!

Back later x

Me again!

I typed that post awhile ago and forgot to send it! Lol, kitchen is done, looking much better, just have the floor to mop, I will do that once I’ve put the ladder away in the garage.

This afternoon I’m going to do some painting. Hope you are all having a good day x

Admin done, recycling out.  Just scoffing an early lunch.
