Hello flylady friends , 
Can I join you please. Seriously lacking in motivation lately so hoping this will help..
I have a huge list of things I need to do today but will try and do some stuff on the flylady list too. 

Going to have a cuppa and then set a timer and get started. 

Wish me luck ...  I'm going to need it 

Catch up with you all later . Have a lovely day everyone x

Thank you asb xx

Fayolle - I know exactly which notebook to use. I think we may be soul sisters even if we are not soul twins xx

Valli - oh that's a good idea - a Swinging 60s Club (SSC). And not the other sort of 'swinging' either (just in case anyone gets the wrong idea!)

Welcome aboard boultdj xx 

i put my fleece on over my nightie and pegged out the washing. What a glorious morning. I adore autumn. I've also fed the birds and put out some recycling - after I'd got dressed. GF was in the shower for soooooo long that I was starting to worry. Is it a girl thing? What can anyone be doing in the shower for that amount of time? Can you see me shaking my head? Total bemusement here.

For Helen

We’ve not known each other long

But to me it seems quite clear

That when we are together

I move up another gear.

 

Eeyore leaves the building

Pooh and Piglet run;

‘cause Tigger’s here with Helen

And they’re having lots of fun.

 

The mask can be removed

And placed high on a shelf

‘cause when I’m here with you

I’m free to be myself.

 

You don’t think I’m crazy.

You don’t put me in my place.

Do you know how rare it is

For me to show my face?

 

It’s really rather sad

That the world’s so full of dicks

And I have to hide myself and

The world at number six.

 

But you are very special

And hold the magic key

That opens up the secret place

Where I buried me

 

I wrote this for my new office buddy. I feel the urge to share. It's not flying - but it's a Bank Holiday so I'm taking liberties. 

It's taken 60 years - but I'm getting there.

Welcome Mumof31.2 and boultdj.  I expect your names will get shortened if you stay around lol.
DW emptied.  Chipped mug flung; all DS's  
spare room bedding on line; bunnies in run.  Clearing and cleaning the room goes on; chest of drawers has been vacuumed (well the drawers have) and the glue gun has been pressed into use.  Next job is a hot, soapy water wash down of same.  I also have an ebay sale to post.

Quite happy to have the name shortened Boult is what I normally come out with, but B is good enough for me, hoovering was done whilst WM was on, it's out on the line now.
I just need to pick some of my French beans for tonight's tea, don't think I'm going to get many more off them this year.
Hello everyone.

Jazee

Great poem Round.  Welcome newbies.

Mondailies are done and I'm just having lunch.  Also have walked four miles again.  Going to make a cake next. I have already used the calories.

WM done out on line whirling

Grass cut

I've painted the double side 7' tall gate both sides, the fence paint is just soaking in to it, so 2nd coat at least will be needed

Pizza for dinner tonight, feeling lazy

P & S have been - bringing cake and gifts.
H has been - bringing cake and flowers. First time I've seen H since before lock down . She came in for ten minutes and left two hours later. The world has been put to rights. I can't decide if the house looks better or I just don't care what people think any more: a bit of both probably. It definitely helps that I am not sat praying that any unexpected visitor will not ask to use the loo. Now the bathroom is halfway decent they are welcome to use it. 

Plastic bottles rinsed and recycled.

YORKSHIRELASS

Ah Round age is but a number.  And you got me thinking as I munched my cheese and beans toastie, isnt it funny how we are all different ages on here, all different backgrounds, and yet we are good friends?  Would we have become friends if we had all met up somewhere in real life I wonder?

Anyhow, the reason I am eating lunch so late is that I am thoroughly engrossed in wardrobe flinging.  Every single item of clothing that I own has been taken out of the wardrobe and drawers and critically assessed.  Summer stuff has been piled on DSs bed for now, 22 items listed on ebay and two bags for clothing bank.  Quite a few of my winter jumpers and cardigans are looking a bit tired.  I dont expect to make much on ebay (but I have lost nothing but a bit of my time if I dont) but what I do make will go towards some carefully chosen new bits.

Footwear next.  Might need more food and a cuppa first.  DH has gone to work, no idea where DS is.

Happy Bank Holiday all xx 

Fayolle

Well said, YL. I think you have it in a nutshell.
Round - great poem.  I am honoured to be your soul sister ❤️  I am nearer to the SSC than I like to calculate,  but age is definitely but a number. 

Towels out on the line. Bathrooms given a s&s. DD picked up and chatted with (rare treat). Allotment digging done and a few cabbages planted for spring under DH’s latest netting construction. Steptoe’s yard anyone??
Plum jam making next.
