Weekly Flylady Thread 6th December 2021

Mademoiselle

Late in today as I worked this morning, got home for a quick lunch.
I have 2 more reports to write and piles of admin to sort through, some can be thrown, some needs filing and some needs action.  I've been keeping up to date with stuff that comes through the door but not dealing with the backlog.  Also have ironing to do and let's not mention cleaning.  So far

Bed made
DW sorted
Pellets brought in

Post lunch coffee and reports next

Hugs and good vibes to all of you.

Wreath up on front door, smaller type wreath take to my mother's grave, it is bleak  on the church yard today.

Been busy all morning doing stuff, ironing is done  and away.

Ctree is now decorated, with battery lights, not as much as normal, OH has opened a 'book' on

1. How long it will take the triplets to pull it over.

2. How often it will  be pulled over before we take in down in Jan. 

So I am going for 1. 8pm 7.12.21,  2. 6 times   if you want to join in just post up your guesses, I'll keep a list,  no prizes.

Been to sainsbugs to buy a give card for SS1 and DIL the best they could come up with was something you with give someone for a golden type anniversary, gold coloured and 2 champers glasses, with the word congratulations on it............. I did ask if they had something with Happy Christmas or similar on it and got told no, I do think they have missed a trick.

Now off to work out how to get silver / gold spray off my hands, soap, washing up liquid, cif, and sawfager? won't shift it.

Mediation for tomorrow cancelled because the LA have agreed to do Dot's EHCP assessment.. they will no doubt refuse it and I will have to appeal that too.. but we are well on the way now I am so relieved!

4 parcels ready to post.
1 airer cleared

'Rona tests booked for 2pm, DD1 booked spamalam in too, he has been sent home with a raging temp.
Listed 4 more things to sell and emptied a shopping bag of things into my selling boxes

Sorted some bags of presents into boxes, filled a bag of rubbish

Squeak in a sulk because I told her off.. she just went and poked Twinkle in the face.. Twinkle who is going for the test in 5 minutes and is clearly not well.. I have no idea what she was thinking!!

I shall go find her one of her butterfly masks, she loves them.. and hoof OH out the door.

Kaz, I'm going for 5 minutes after you shut your eyes tonight, and only once as they will get a huge fright.  Mine have each only tipped the tree over once, after that they completely ignored it.

Kaz.. WD40? Hairspray? Turps/white spirit? Nail polish remover? a brillo pad?

Our fluffs have been ok this year not been in the festive bush so much.. they never had it over entirely even when there were 4 in it last year! lol

kazwookie

I've tried a scourer pad, WD40 never thought of that, off to give it a go, don't have any hairspray, loads of white spirit in the garage.

The storm has arrived here, it is lacking it down and very dark at 3.45pm

Floors done

Shopping came. While I was hanging around in the kitchen waiting for Mr M, I had a brainwave and threw a dahl in the sc. Smells good now. Going to make hm naan shortly.
Kitchen floor swept and mopped. Stickiness has gone.
Car insurance finally renewed.
And … drum roll….C card writing started, including the all important Flylady ones done, plus some that DH is going to deliver tomorrow.
I think that will be me for this evening, apart from WULTD and straightening the kitchen later.
