Weekly Flylady Thread 10th January 2022

Ooh yes scales here please. Went lake swimming in the coldest I've ever done; 3 degrees. Swimming in cold water is meant to burn more calories or so I read.....however I'm clearly not doing enough. Or maybe having swum so cold I need to stuff anything chocolate-like in my mouth "as I deserve it". Not.

Did a few things off my email to-do list.
Checked HMRC site to see if payment I sent has arrived, curiously not. Looked in details page and found curious entries for 'interest' including interest dated 31 Jan 2022.....have I slept for a few weeks? Surely they can't charge interest 2 weeks before payment is due?  Then noticed similar entries dating back to 2019.....clearly this isn't a page I have seen before and I thought I was always meticulous about these things. More investigation needed.

Filled bird feeders. Ordered more bird food.  Got very excited to see a blackcap at the feeder, several times; we rarely see them.
Pruned a few shrubs to warm me up after swim. Had a bath.
Did very small amount of a report.
Pulled apart and recycled one of the remaining festive flower displays.  Put the final one next to the compost bin to dismantle tomorrow.
Did a zoom to a friend so we could finalise plans for exploring a river swim; initially on foot and via pub.
Mr N did some flying while I was swimming.
Well that was an eclectic mix......

Morning all xx 

I've drawn up a rough itinerary for the Flylady scales minibus, taking into account that YL wants to finish the Quality Street before we get to her (hoping you'll save me a toffee penny 😉).
iona, kindly offered to drive the minibus, so will need to come here to pick up the scales, then we'll head south - kaz, Natty, Fayolle, Dizzy, Valli, Jazee, piggers, YL,  and, last but not least,  asb.  Narc0 - I don't know your whereabouts but as we are heading south, west, north and east I'm sure the route can be amended to include you. Same goes for all flyladies.... 😊. And I'm happy to get a passport so that Mademoiselle is included.

And this is what happens when I'm in the WAC 🤣

Like I said,  odd but harmless 🙄

I'm up, made my bed and supping my first brew. 

Also had a 💡 moment. No reason why the LFT testing paraphernalia has to sit on the table permanently! Please don't laugh...for such a high IQ I can be v.e.r.y s.l.o.w. Before I switched on the kettle space was identified in an easy to reach shelf in the cupboard. And I am absurdly pleased with myself. 😊. Bearing in mind that I now put on my slippers so they don't clutter up the floor. OTT? Moi? Always lol.

My throat hurts. It started yesterday evening. Not sore so much as feels like I'm swallowing something large and hard on the right side. And going up my neck into my ear. 🥴. Is it wrong to hope for mild covid so I can have another week off? If that's still the rules. I don't want to be ill, obviously.  I just don't want to go back to work on Tuesday. 😖

Brew 2 and breakfast first then a little list. Including an LFT methinks.

Love to all.  ❤

Morning all

Dreadful nights sleep.  Worrying about DH and his health issues mostly, and worrying about our finances, and a bit of worry about work thrown in for good measure.  After Pigpens advice yesterday, and waking up with a bit of a sore throat, I have done a test which is negative.  We are supposed to get a bit of sun here today which will be welcome, not sure what the plan is.

I have put the dog's blankets in the wash, might be able to get them hung out.  Kitchen could do with a clean but I dont have to be in work early tomorrow. as I have a late finish.so I could do it then.

I need coffee.

((((Hugs)))) to YL  xxx

Jazee

Morning all.  Hugs, spoons, whatever to whoever needs them.
Bit of a rough night as we have two poorly dogs.  They seem to have a tummy bug.  A lot of it going round apparently and they've not been to a beach or off short leads recently, but of course they do sniff everything.
So, dog cuddles aside, I'm planning to s&s bathrooms and scrub the kitchen sink.
 I have already hoovered through.
Also need to soak bath mat  in bleach, and clean hairbrushes.
 I have council work to attend to, but I may procrastinate and leave that until tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone.

Hmmm -ve. I'll try again on Tuesday morning 😉. Still, I can now fill up with petrol and deliver A's birthday card later as originally planned.
LFT kit is now put away in the cupboard. 

To Do Today List:
Get dressed 
Feed the birds 
Put out recycling 
WUDUPA - breakfast pots. (That's all there is to do....hardly seems worth it. It feels odd when WUDUPA takes less than 10 minutes instead of all weekend- but woot woot 🙌)

Finish emptying box from under the table. 

Hugs to poorly dogs xx

Fayolle

Morning all,
Another one awake for much of the night. Worrying about anything and everything. Or was it the excitement of the scales minibus heading down the country?? Anyhow, up, dressed and cuppa had.
We are heading off to the uni city this afternoon. DD has some erratic idea about us taking her to a supermarket once she has unpacked, to get a few bits. Not sure why she won’t take the bread etc that is here, as she has already raided the other cupboards. For someone so smart, she can sometimes be incredibly stubborn about making all our lives run a bit smoother.
I had a lovely couple of hours out with DD yesterday in small town - lunch and a mooch around a couple of independent shops. I’m going to miss her ☹️. Still, I did make the gloves that she wanted yesterday, so there’s a ✅ to start my day.
Jobs for today, apart from the above:
s&s ensuite
meal plan
other things that I will have forgotten.
Hugs to all, especially YL and Round. Big pat on the back to Badcat for all that batch cooking.

Goodintentions

Good morning! 😁
We had a family day yesterday, as DD1 was down. She stayed at my mum's because she had to bring her needy dog, and my ninja cat disappears when he is here! That is okay for a day, but not for a weekend! We visited a friend (DD2s childhood BF) to see her new baby (she is visiting her mum atm), lots of baby talk as DD1 is nearly 16 wks now. Then visited a pram shop to try a few out - 3 generations of us playing with prams! 😂 Back home for a family dinner for 7, followed by silly games.

I have had a lazy start today 😁 I am now up and dressed & made a list. 
To start - WMx1, empty DW & WU whats left. 
DH is doing a 15 mile race, part x-country, so there will lots more washing! I want to pop out to get some paint as I want to spruce up the LR furniture rather than replace it (I can't find what I want anyway!). If that works I have my eye on the kitchen cupboards!! 😂 Obviously not all today!! I am the queen of procrastination,  so I will be lucky if it gone done this year 😂🙄

Have a good day everyone!

Hi ladies,

Ooooh yes count me in on the bus trip please! Finally an opportunity to give you all some eggs as well!

Have a big hug from me YL. My inbox is always open.

DD was unwell yesterday and spent most of the day in bed. I did a test on her which was negative, but TBH I doubt I did it properly because she gagged the minute I put it in her mouth, and wouldn't even let me do her nose. I don't blame her.

Got lots done this morning including constanting WUDUPA, 1 x WM, fire lit, general stuff tidied up and a bit of admin dealt with. I am letting the children have a lazy device day and will settle down with my veg journal shortly. Before that I need to update my frugal notebook. 

Lots of love to all xx
