Pounding head again.. I think it is hormonal and doesn't feel migrainey yet so I shall have meds in a bit with my cuppa and go to bed when they kick in and I start slurring.. nothing like a good drug induced snooze lol.
Squeak has flying on the warcraft toon so she is a happy bunny..DW been on a few times, 3x WM and 1 x TD .. it was decent enough weather to be thinking about hanging towels out but my headache meant that didn't get done.A useful thing.. I emptied the cupboard under the stairs, put DD2's binbags of clothes into a sturdy cardboard box (Ty Am@z0n) and had OH restack it all very nicely.. the door closes nicely now but would benefit from a bolt.
Hazel has been using the puppy pads so we have had no carpet turds for a couple of days.. which is bliss.. I need to put a couple more down to catch urine.. there are 2 stinky puddles right by the front door so we are hit with a delightful aroma every time we enter or leave the house.. I need to wash the hallway carpet too.. it is gross.We shall see what delights tomorow brings but the kitchen is looking less gross and I even thought about tidying my pit..

Sending good vibes ASB.
Well done and more encouragement to all the decluttering flyladies. Today I carted all the training files I don't currently use to the box in the loft, wow that left a load of space. By Friday, although I still need to go through some things on the remaining large unit (which now has a whole space free), I should be able to vacuum then we can move the large unit to the other side of the room and see how the drums fit in. Was hoping to have done that tomorrow in time for me to have my Zoom drum lesson in the new place, but that would be too ambitious. However I'm pleased with the progress and can't wait to award myself a new carpet so it looks properly nice.
One plastic box on the floor contains text books I no longer need and had intended to pass to a tutor I used to work with......checked the email in which I last passed her a load and offered more....Nov 2019 which is embarrassing. I listed all the books in an email, added various bits of news and sent it. Not sure what I will do if, as is likely, she doesn't want them as that will be a real hard task to recycle them but in honesty they are fairly old.
Still no news from the professional bodies regarding remote assessment so I emailed my manager to ask if she had any views.
Spent quite a long time in the garden with Mr N, weeding and pruning. Finished sweeping/tidying greenhouse as far as I can with over-wintering pots in there, then sorted all seeds into bags according to what month they need to be sown. Had a good look and found the first new batch I bought this year which had got put into a box in the garage when we cleared off the hob worktop, so that's good.
1 load washing done, hung out, brought in.
One vole dispatched. Sorry vole. We have been admiring a cute one which lives under the bird table - good shelter and food source for it. We have been cursing the scratching noises coming from somewhere in the conservatory wall and found a plastic box of bird food had been chewed through, so had to set the snap trap......you've guessed it; we have caught 3 voles so far. Sad but cute though they are and welcome in the garden, they are not welcome inside the house and it's plain greedy to steal food from the boxes when the birds drop plenty outside. Apparently they are territorial so it may be that the 'cute' family still live under the bird table while this family live somewhere in the conservatory.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.10 -
Sending you bucket loads of vibes ASB
LR straightened, knitting put away. Sleeve almost finished.
Then I am going to knit something for me. I hope...
bins out, DW and WM primed.
turned teasmade off... I don't need it to be connected 24/7: I have a clock radio for the actual time and I don't use it every day. So another little trim off the leccy bill.

Good evening!
I managed to clean one section of the patio. I moved pots, swept & sprayed with magic patio stuff. It does the job, but I'm not too sure how friendly it is to the environment. I also had to keep grumpy dog and mad Maui indoors while it dried. I am going to use up what is left to do rest of the patio next to the house, then I will let DH play with the pressure washer to do the rest. I worry about the water near the house as the patio is badly made and quite high. We had the damp course redone, but I still worry! I hope we can get that done this weekend.
It looks like I will not be returning to full capacity work-wise until April. At that point 2 of the current children will be increasing their hours, so I will be full (or as full as I want to be). I have also taken the decision to not take on any children after school, so just stick to little ones. I need to make sure I use the extra time productively in March!
Grumpy dog has been to the vets this evening. He has ABs, steroids & medicated shampoo, and they want to see him in 2 weeks. Decluttered £££'s!!! It makes the dentist seem reasonable now 😂
WM x1, kitchen tidied before bed & put on DW
ASB lots of FL vibes being sent to you

Morning all,
Buckets of FL vibes coming to you, ASB.
Well done for all the decluttering going on.
There has been no flying here this week so far. On Tuesday we were summoned to the hospital to get the news re DD that we had been dreading. It is horrific, there is now no doubt.
Today I have stripped our bed, wm is on. I need to go to the dentist, the doctor and the pharmacist to pick up various things for DD. I hope to clean the bathrooms later as they are desperate.Hugs all round, any spare sticks appreciated xx12
