Checked online learning. Responded to one parent who was unable to access something - nothing has come back so I'm hoping all ok now. I am signing out and going to read the instructions on the paint stripper with a coffee.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Round 1 completed + WUDU recycled two glass jars and two plastic bottles. Vase returned by DS has white vinegar solution sat in it to remove water mark. Tea towels and dish cloths are swishing on a hot wash. I feel like a real Flylady rather than the imposter that is waiting to be unmasked as a fraud and cast out.
Round 2
put paper file / folder thingy in bag with DS's stuff (LR)
put The Lion King programme in bag with DS's stuff (RoD)
empty bag currently filled with books waiting to be read (BR)
bring down bag and fill with the rest of DS's shoes (K)
if there's room left in the bag, fold and put jackets on top (K)
That will then be 4 bags waiting for collection by DS. Woot woot.

Round 2 completed - no room for jackets, but, never mind, I managed to fit all the shoes into the bag.
I also put a British Grand Prix 2018 programme into the other bag for DS...having first thought 'what's that also in there?' and pulled out a pair of socks!!!! Last worn at Silverstone in 2018 I presume. They are now in the laundry hamper and will be washed and returned to their owner.
Lunch next, then clean out Sweetie.

I'm going to try and finish the online Dyslexia training today and then get on with the ironing.

Just switched off chilli which I'm eating for lunch. It's really good - been in Sc about 16 hours. Made a lemon drizzle cake for DS. Curtains down in front bedroom/office and header tape straightened ready for washing. Decorating box brought down from loft. Now I've cleared the way I can apply stripperDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

It seems as though everyone is achieving. First work shift done here, also dailies, dog walk and from the list I've sorted shoes and coats. It's playtime for the dogs now before getting back to the paid stuff.Spend less now, work less later.10

Dot to dot on the surface has worked. It's now clear and clean. The wooden fruit bowl is now empty, it was full of old keys, bits and bobs that might be usefull one day. Keys now all in a plastic box together in case I find locks, most of the rest of the stuff is in the bin, think cheap allen keys that come with flat pack furniture etc. I just need to decide which sunglasses we want to keep as spares, but 6 pairs are definitely too many!
All our charging wires also sorted.
Time for a cup of tea!9
