I love flylady but have been needing some motivation to get back on the wagon, this looks like it. Also less American and irritating. Let's see if I actually do it...

Morning all, and welcome @naomij1411

This is the final call to sign up for the Flylady Secret Santa - you have until midnight tonight.  If you don't receive a PM from me tomorrow, it's because I don't have your details.  I can't post a list of names on here because that would mean it would no longer be a proper secret!!!  

My flying plan for today is
- DH's ensuite and bedroom
- WMx1
- garden
- Rosie's walk
- yet more admin
-  find a pattern and see if I can manage to knit again
- z00m business meeting this evening

I have already noticed a mistake in my expected outgoings for next month (twice a year the TV licence direct debit takes slightly less than usual) which will mean a teensy weensy bit of money saving

Hope everyone has a good day.  (((Hugs))) to Jazee, YL, WAC members, and anyone else who needs them xxx

Morning all.  Welcome Naomi.  Hope your hip improves soon Badcat.

I have dropped DH off at the hospital, a round trip of one and a half hours which I'll do again later when he can come home.  Just finishing breakfast.  I have put the recycling out but am planning on just pottering today.

Have a great day everyone.

Aiming to nip to town to bank this *points* before work.
One good thing - instead of having event after event to bank for I've only got this at the moment - so I can keep up with it.

Morning

Welcome to all to newbies  :wave:

General stuff being done today, may go out in the garden and weed my new veg patch as the weeds seem to be growing like mad, then maybe make a plan for what I would like to plant, spuds, lettuce etc............

Hi folks, a late check in from me.  It's a public holiday here so OH is home.  DD1 left this morning after I had finished her ironing.  Been for a long (well just over an hour as that's all we're allowed to do - we did cheat this morning and do an hour and a quarter and probably further than 1 km from home but up in the fields so no one about). 

Bed made, clothes picked up
Living room tidied
Dining room tidied (DD1 had been studying in it)
Kitchen tidied, DW unloaded
OH backed up computer 

It's now dull, damp and windy outside so stove is on and I'm going to get the crochet out. 

See you all tomorrow for more flying

Are carpet fitters 'allowed' to work right now?

Yes but they aren't really allowed to move furniture and cannot lift old carpets.  This may well be impacting my plans...

I always do that anyway.. and I have a house full of males capable of that stuff but I will slice and dice the carpet and get OH to tip it. The stairs need doing but they are full of bedroom and living room carpets at the moment. I think I will be ending up doing the bedroom myself.. again.. I did it last time while I was pregnant with Squeak!!  £90 for the stairs and front room isn't too awful is it? (I'd pay half a squillion just to get it done right now I think.)
I would send them all to help you if we were closer... actually no.. I'd send OH and tag along ..

5 hours in the kitchen and it is vaguely clearer.. I have sorted knickers to upstairs drawers and put tights in the school clothes cupboards and hung out 2 loads of washing and folded 3 baskets full which are on my bed needing putting away. I repainted 2 nails which had trashed polish so feeling unglittery. DW was on 3 times I think..2 more loads of washing done.

Moomin has moved all her furniture about and vacuumed about 7 times.

I have messaged a carpet fitter and someone to look at the moisture in the chimney breast.. I had a damp proofy guy out a few weeks ago but he wasn't very nice so I wouldn't give him work and because he was rude I need a second opinion.. so we shall see what this one says.

Pack ups need to be done next.. and dinner.. and tomorrow the backroom is being emptied so the underlay rolls (45m") can go in there out of the hallway.

love and hugs all xx

I have had a super busy day as it was my last day in the office in  my job - my notice is up at the end of this week, so feels exciting and scary all at once. This also means I need to crack on with a bit of housework this evening.  I'd be happy to get done any of the Wednesday things, and some laundry. Can I post the list here and cross them off later? I feel like this sort of self-commitment could help...
level 1
strip bed (if necessary) and leave to air
open windows
clear floordrobe/chair drobe
use long duster and roll rouns top of walls for webs and light fittings

level 2
remake bed
dust sills, shelves and furniture
empty bins

Daily
s&s bathroom
s&s kitchen
laundry on
laundry to dry

Extras
Emptied kitchen bins
Put wheelie bin out
Feeling quite happy with that for an early evening's work.
