Weekly Flylady Thread 1st March 2021

Narc0lepsy

Jazee so sorry about all your bereavements; it is hard when you barely have time to grieve for one when another goes.
Well now I know I'm cracking up: I had a strange dream last night - someone had given me a very odd-shaped car (a sort of very wide, short white mini) and the registration was Willi.  I must have typed I want weekend Willi's help in flying just before I went to bed (hits head against wall).   Sadly Willi did not yet arrive - hoping he/she has stopped to help some other needy flylady en route.
However I did a NotParkRun this morning in one of my better times; really aiming to raise my crawl to a slow jog.
One load through wm, hung out and dried.
We had planned to get out into the garden before flying, but it was very cold so Mr N offered to help me with the photobook. 3 cruises with my mum now sorted to a manageable number and cruise 1 now in the album, cruise 2 partly done.  
That took most of the day really, including playing with the new USB camera which arrived today, ostensibly for the remote assessments but good for photo-ing tickets and other 'souvenirs' to put in the photobook. I can see that it will need practice!
Treated ourself to a takeaway Mexican this eve, parking at Mr T so we could walk through and pick up a couple of things on the way. Slob night with Labyrinth then Man in Room 301 (which I'm barely keeping up with).

Morning all.  Hope you're all ok today.
 I am planning to do dailies and dog walking, need to get a draft sent off to publisher and start work on next project. I also gave up, for now, on crochet yesterday so am back to knitting again.  Also will s&s bathrooms.
Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

I got up at 6am to let the hens out, then went back to sleep until 8. The children have been fed and they have emptied the DW. When I have finished this cuppa I will make the beds, have a shower then we will nip out for our meat for Sunday lunch. I started watching Traces on iplayer last night, I enjoyed episode one and only 45 minutes long.
Take care all x

Oh that did make me laugh. Narc0 - if I was a car that is exactly what I would look like. Have we met?

Morning xx

Still chuckling at Narc0's sub-conscious being so accurate. I don't think I'm short at 5' 6" but DS says I am! He's 6' 1" and GF is 5' 10". Can't argue with the 'very wide' either. 

I did do a little fluttering yesterday - fed the birds, filled the bird bath, put out the rubbish and recycling, and WM x 1. Only two of my horses won so I'll be going back to work on Tuesday. Nothing lost as it's free to enter (or I wouldn't do it). Did a little research on sleep and found the optimum bed time for me is 10pm - which is great as that's when I go to bed. Except that last night I stayed up to watch a programme that ended at 11. (I don't have a fancy tv - you either watch it or you don't.) So when I woke up at 6.15 am - which would be a great time to get up on work days and hence every day if I'm establishing a regular sleep pattern - I thought 'nope' and went back to sleep until 8.10 am. But my lazy day yesterday worked its magic in that I don't feel like the living dead this morning. Anyone else only realise how 'rough' they felt when they start feeling ok again?

Round 1 =
second brew + breakfast
get dressed
WM x 1
feed the birds
put out the recycling
WUDUPA 
coffee

Love to all

Update from me: meat in slow cooker, oven heating up so I can pre make the Yorkshire puddings, fire cleaned out and laundry folded. Kids dispatched outside to burn off energy xx

Dailies done, long walk with the dogs, bathrooms s&sd, popped to shop for essentials, hoovered through.  Also submitted draft to publisher and worked on second version.  Had FaceTime with DD.

Shed and side gate are now power washed, all algae is gone, I will let them dry for a couple of days, then start to paint, going undercoat with fence paint ~ grey, as I already have that paint, then buy white and cornflower blue for the shed as a top coat.

It is £16 per 2.5l tin of shed paint = £32, but it says it will last up to 3 years, so fingers crossed it is MSE, says it will do up to 3 coats of paint.

Also kitchen done, daily stuff done, birds fed.

Round.. I think you are positively tall!! (5ft 2.75!) .. We are a family of tiny people.. DD1 and Moomin are 5ft 1.. Tiddles is tallest at 5'5" . .. Pixie is going to be about 5'10.. but OH is 6'4.. so yes we look ridiculous together and walking together is nigh on impossible.. I do 3 steps to his 1.

Plans made..

OH has a door to resize and make fit.

I am doing NOTHING.. I have some washing to throw in so I will do that.. and the DW... and the cat trays.. and get school stuff ready for tomorrow, bath the girls and make food endlesssly... but I am doing NOTHING all day! My entire body is killing me.. note to self : you are too old to redeorate a whole room in 2 days! Refrain from doing so again!

Kaz - one of my priority jobs in lockdown 1 was to paint the shed from its awful faded orange to something more attractive, given it is right outside the LR French doors.  The job is still on the list to do.... so all respect to you.
Long walk done, chilly but pleasant. Now a friend has asked if I would like to walk with her this afternoon. I have said yes - I must be mad, my legs are already aching. Must learn to say no...

Wm run, washing hanging outside, no idea what will be for dinner. DH is steaming off wallpaper, so more mess. DD back to school tomorrow. I’m not sure who is going to have the biggest shock - her for getting up, dressed and out, DH for being home alone or me having to go in late to do the school run and meet real traffic to get to work.
