Weekly Flylady Thread 19th April 2021

roundtuit

Change of plan for the now washed and dried flannelette sheets. They're not fit for resale in cs. So I'm going to keep them to use as dust sheets when decorating. I have a flylady retreat that needs decorating followed by my bedroom. In fact the whole house could do with a freshen up.  I might have to go lie down until this strange compulsion passes 🤣

Why do people have to be so unkind? I took DS off the school bus for 2 years because of bullying. With hindsight I wish I'd done it sooner. DS is now quite happy to have a pint with the bullies - I'm still at the' rip off their head and sh** down their neck' stage.  (I expect reservations for the flylady retreat may disappear- I'm not violent honest! Just don't threaten my cub 🐻) 


piggers - please give LW my best wishes too.

I've decluttered fb off my phone. Might get more done this week now lol

I only log in to F'book once a week now to check notifications and messages, and spend about five minutes doing the scroll of doom.  Basically it was just delivering bad news because of the algorithms and my political leanings, so I decided it wasn't doing me any good at all.  I can't tell you how much leaving it improved my life.  Much as I dislike this new style forum that's nothing compared to my loathing of the new style F'book and I won't be the only person on the planet who just gave up on it around then.  Good on you for making the break - it's highly addictive so hard to resist but worth it in the end. 

Bullies are very needy people who can't get enough healthy attention so they're addicted to high value negative attention for themselves, such as the kind delivered by adults in authority delivering sanctions, and ultimately the police and courts in adulthood.  I can't find much sympathy for them in my heart, and am very conscious of the damage they do at the moment.  Bullies are very good at spotting and targetting people who are vulnerable and that makes me very, very angry. 

We've managed a lot more decluttering today than I thought we would, so I'm delighted with that.  Belovéd is on board, having managed to get rid of quite a bit of paperwork from the attic.  He only came back downstairs because I told him the cats were scrabbling at the door to be let back in - we can't have them in the main part of the house when the attic ladder is down because we'd never get Twiggle back down from there.  She's very good at climbing ladders and shoots up it as soon as she hears it being lowered.  I've had to hoick her off the top rung several times.

Evening fly folk 

Ironing done
walked to a garden centre and realised I had forgotten my mask so we wandered around some new roads and back home via our wood.
swept up behind the back fence
DH washed the garage door and finished shovelling up some crap that some one had piled up near our garage and it attracts more and some neighbours had had a bonfire on it. It had been annoying me for a couple of years.
We still have a deep excavation out the front and lots of rubbish is in there so hope workmen will litter pick before refilling it. Ever hopeful.
ground floor vacuumed and have sheared DH
I have a  week of meetings and am not looking forward to them.
