Weekly Flylady Thread 25th April 2021

Mademoiselle

I need to fly today but motivation seems to be lacking.  Yesterday was a long day at work but did clear kitchen and set DW on delay before I went to bed.
I don't normally do 'to do' lists but tend to list what I've done, but thinking about doing one as have got quite a few little things that would only take a few minutes and if left too long could easily turn into a frog.  
Off to check banking and spreadsheets (I don't want to let this slip as it has really helped us recently make a few long term decisions)

Bed made, clothes picked up

See you later when I've done something

Valli

Up, showered with a hair wash today (I no longer wash it daily - this has been liberating but it only looks really good on day 1 - swings and roundabouts!) and dressed for work.  Washing on line - towels, pot holders, cleaning cloths and my window cloth - I forgot to mention, in yesterday's stunning display of Flying that EVERY WINDOW IN THE HOUSE WAS CLEANED.  I also vacuumed the stairs after I last posted.  DW x 1; WM x 1. DW *almost* emptied, top deck just finishing drying.  Halo is positively dazzling.

I have eaten breakfast, made 2 portions of overnight oats for tomorrow and Friday breakfast and three pots of SF jelly - way cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) than buying ready made.  Cat fed.  Rabbits running round a rained-on garden.  Boy was it needed.  And SO pleased I mowed on Saturday!

Pigpen - email sent - many thanks.

So now I'm getting ready for work.

Wow Valli, you were really motoring yesterday!  *admiration*  I forgot to answer your question about the L!d1 boxes - they're great.  I'm off to get some more today so I can declutter the older ones around that size that aren't quite right.

Thank you all for your comments about Layla - she's exhausted but very happy to be home and drugged up. 

I thought those of you who commented on the need for foodbanks last week might like to see this.  It's been released today and I'm one of the people in it.  It was written by a client and everyone is either a volunteer or a TT member of staff because she didn't want to go public with it.

Morning all.  Oops it's afternoon.  Never mind.  First work shift is done and I've taken the dogs for a long walk.  Dailies are done with DHs help.
Plug plants have arrived so I need to get those potted on next.  There'll be another dog walk later and  another work shift.  I think it may be my appraisal but it keeps getting put off so I'm not sure.

Valli, received and printed.. My new loooong cable is wonderful!

Last call for LW messages of love and support.. so if you're one of the bullies reading.. go stick a cactus somewhere uncomfortable and get on a horse.. if you've nothing nice to say.. shut up! Tolerance level for bullies is minus a lot!

2x WM.. and that is it.. I have a couple of ebeast parcels to sort and just printing off LW's messages.. We will be doing the school run in a minute and we need a shop run for pack up stuff for the rest of this week and a few dinners.. The tax credits have to fund next weeks pack ups and dinners as well as all the bills because OH has nothing left.. he gets paid next Friday, the last full furlough month hopefully.. he has 1 week of work before next payday in June and actual full pay in July!! We cannot wait!!!! FOOD!!!!! lol

Mademoiselle

A few bits of admin done and bills paid so hopefully that is now under control.  
OH has agreed we will do the tax return this weekend 
Need to pop to chemist for OH and I have something to return for a refund, but I know how to do it so will be easy
Recycling out
General tidy round
Sadly still no motivation

Great poem - I've shared it on both Twitter and facebook.  I do a LOT of tweeting about food banks. Shame I don't have more followers...

Another one with zero motivation, so excuse the lack of flying. Not even the wm got switched on.  I did manage a full day at paid stuff though, first one in 5 weeks,  but probably the last one for a few more weeks.
Honey Bear - a really to the point poem, I hope it gets the message across. Gentle hugs and pats to Layla.
Round, if you need a sick note, honey, you go and get it. Stuff it if it inconveniences people - it’s your eye health we are talking about. And ... Naggy Nora will now return to her rightful home having made a quick visit southwestwards...
Valli - stellar work. I’m in awe.
Day off tomorrow. In between a late morning and an early afternoon school run, and a consultant video call, I will try to dig up some motivation. I’m going to try to sneak in some Sewing Bee now though.

Pigpen you have reminded me about when DSs platelets were really low, his nose started bleeding and wouldnt stop, then he went to the loo and was passing blood.  By the time we got to hospital his gums were bleeding, it was like something out of a horror film.  

Have messaged you about LW but if I am too late thats OK I am just glad she is going to get some Flylady love and good wishes.

Long day at the paid stuff, Dad has been over to bring me a car load of free wood for the fire next winter, bless him.  Salmon and new potatoes eaten for tea, 2 loads of washing dried outside, have hoovered upstairs.

Round my GP wanted to sign me off when DS was in hospital and I refused, I wished afterwards that I had done it, just for a couple of weeks.  Take care x

Will do a little yoga and put PJs on soon.  Back in the office tomorrow.
