Weekly flylady thread 24 May

Morning all x
Not much sleep had here until the early hours as the staff gave DS2 the wrong medicine at bedtime. I’m waiting for him to return my message this morning.

wm is on and bathroom s&s done

I will be organising a letter to the solicitor (Re DG estate)
I need to make Miss Muddy Paws an appointment for her boosters. She pushed me off my pillow this morning and is now snoozing on it.
I have plans afoot to start on the garage of doom next weekend if the weather improves.

Morning all.
Since 6.15 I have
- drunk 2 cuppas
- tidied a shelf in the kitchen cupboard and thrown no less than five 2-pint milk bottles into the recycling (I have kept 4 for decanting from the giant bottles which I can't lift easily)
- put away DH's lunch box and flask from Saturday
- opened curtains and windows
- tidied the LR, including Rosie's fluffy rug which was scrumpled up so small after last night's game of "throw the toys behind the sofa" that she couldn't possibly have been comfortable lying on it!
- sorted all the papers on my desk, binning/filing/keeping as appropriate (there are still some on the spare bed and piano stool, but they are at least sorted into small piles)
- researched charity shop donating in our town (nobody here is accepting any more) and the neighbouring market town, and grabbed a slot at the neighbouring hospice's donations depot for 18th June; that gives me plenty of time to fill up to the limit of 6 boxes/bags, and I feel a great sense of relief at not having to waste any more time posting on Freecycle/Gumtree and feeling the frustration of not having any takers
- encouraged DH to get up and make breakfast half an hour ago.
Now,  I need to shower and dress, as breakfast is still not ready...

One of my cat is feather obsessed so I threw him a new on this morning.. he is growling all over the place.. no one else wants it they just look at him like he is crazy.. He becomes all 'Gollum' over them.
I hope you're feeling better today Valli..

Buzzards.. I forgot to ring the surgery.. well, pointless now, they never have available appointments past 8:30am and Monday they can be all gone by 8:15am. In part due to the evil neighbours.. they woke me up with the stench of weed in my bedroom at 6:30 and I proceeded to struggle to breathe and stop vomiting until 7:30.. then had to get the children ready for school who another of the occupants had woken up with music at 6:45am .. after the third one had kept them awake until goodness knows what time playing music too loud last night...I want to burn the house down.. theirs, not mine.. I want to throw the contents of mine on the pyre though. I am now exhausted, look like death and have a pounding headache, a sore throat and bloodshot eyes. Email already sent to the letting agent.

Mondailies...
BEDDING... it is vaguely nice out there today so I can sheets out.
DW
Boxes out of the Kitchen...
Chair to be rehomed to Mimi.. I need to measure it first and maybe wash the covers but YAY... FLING!!! That will be the back room pretty much clear after the sofa was tipped.
Empty freezer moved down to the shed, I can't afford to fill it so it may as well be turned off and taken back out to the shed.. that will clear a kitchen floor space so we can make a table decision. It needs a proper defrost so I might just leave it in the garden for the day.
TIP RUN!! FLING!!!!

I need clothes.. and to prod Moomin...

Morning all

Thanks for the thread. Hope you are feeling ok x

Paid stuff for me, I have done the dailies, swished a load and put it on the airer, also put the heating back on for an hour as I am freezing!! Most of the kitchen jobs were done yesterday, I will try and fly a little more after work. DH will do the ironing while I am in my book club meeting.

Take care all, GWS to the poorlies, hugs, sticks spoons and flylady dust flung wherever it’s required! Xx

Iona.. My package arrived... and OH and I have had a good laugh... I shall wear it to 'speak with' school and OH will wear it to work! pmsl.. Thank you XX. You definitely raised a smile this morning! I am actually calling school today .. stirring up some poop soup... Training the new Head to acknowledge and defer to my greater knowledge of what is best for my child.. and the first step in recognising the failing SENCo.. I am so glad he has such supportive parents as me

Bed stripped and changed
OH made a cuppa.
I am going to get the WM's on and chop up a catering sized apple crumble, portion it and deliver to my mothers freezer... All without defrosting it.. Cleaver at the ready!
We need to pop topick up prescriptions and get OH some dressings for the burn on his arm which is oozing .. it isn't infected he just knocked the blisters so they are open and we are going to the tip so it need protecting from bacteria and further damage. He will also have a jumper over the dressing.

This weird sore patch on my back is still irritating.. It feels like 'chub-rub' but on my back! It's painful to touch but absolutely nothign visible.

I lost my post. Again. 

I'm dressed. Sploshed bleach in the loo. First WM load (bedding for cs bag) is pegged out. Second load (new dressing gown and new pants) now swishing. I've hoovered the more floor in my bedroom and hoovered the landing while I was at it.

I've fed the birds and put out the rubbish and recycling. Done a laundry shuffle.  Put the milk away in the cupboard  - cardboard to be recycled. Coffee now.

Taking a vegetable rack to DS's Dad's tomorrow evening. More floor in my bedroom- don't ask 🤣

Oh goodness don't even say it... I don't have time to be unwell... There is nothing visible. I get feelings like this, usually on my arms, when I am ill but I'm fine.. other than the usual levels of crazy going on... Time will tell, but my jumper is painful to wear.. ad it is too cold to not wear it.

Did you get in touch with the surgery about your breathing? I totally forgot to ring about ours with next door being douchebags.. I have dealy with the LA SEN dept and college tutor though so that's my phone call quota for the week.. *just email me everything!*

roundtuit

piggers - not phoned the surgery as I could breathe ok after hoovering. I'm going to monitor it. 

Second load is ready to peg out- then lunch methinks
