Weekly Flylady Thread 24th January 2022

Morning all,
Thank you for the lists. I think that I will be a patchy flylady this week.
It’s DD’s birthday today (thank you, Iona for remembering 😘). At her request, we are off to the uni city to take her out for lunch. Naturally, I have been in the WAC for hours, worrying about the logistics etc.
Towels are in the wm, I have breakfasted and cuppa’d, and emptied the dw. Hair washing next. DH working for a few hours, then we will be off.
Pigpen - lovely photos as always.Iona - glad that you are feeling better
Have a lovely day all xx12 -
Iona.. Glad you are feeling better today. I prefer the wintery beach to the summer variety. My tummy is paying the price for the fish and chips now though..
Flung all mine at school.. Dot is screaming she has a headache, Twinkle is screaming her shoes hurt.. Pixie is chomping at the bit to get out and OH is moaning at me to hurry up and get them ready .. they are all stood waiting for himm while he is floating about with poor time management skills and inability to multitask.. I thought he could take the bags to the car and then come back for the girls.. *hoof out of door* .. you can all go together.. no roads to cross.. no excuse..
I need to print Squeaks work, fiddle with laundry..sort a parcel and post 2.. and we need to deal with the mess in the front room.
I want to get both sleeves done on this baby cardy too.. I hate knitting sleeves.

Morning all xx
Happy Birthday greetings to Miss Fayolle 🎂🎁🎈🎉 I hope you all have a lovely time celebrating xx
Lovely photos piggers - awww and Twinkle is such a little dot. ❤❤❤❤
I'm up made my bed, and supping my first brew. Smiling at my newly rearranged bottom shelf with its 2 neatly stacked piles of books. My Bible reading books are now on the table top with my Bible; my long forgotten puzzle books are in the magazine rack and, therefore, getatable....to be completed and recycled. And all my empty notebooks are together....do they call it SABLE? I also unearthed a gorgeous, unused 2020 diary which will be used for notes and shopping lists when the current notebook is used up. I'll have the poshest shopping lists ever (Wrendale) 😁 And I've ticked off the 🐸 in green pen.
That's 3 frogs swallowed this month....but the list is no shorter because I keep adding to it. Oh just thought of another one....retrieve photos from old phone....found the phone and charger yesterday.

Next 🐸 to swallow is to clear out DS's cubby hole on the TV stand. In fact I'll make that my starting point and work my way through the lot: 4 cubby holes, 1 shelf, 1 drawer, and the stand top - which only has the TV and hub on it but needs dusting. It might not all be done today but that's my next project. Which I had no intention of doing when I started to write this post....the wizardry of Flylady 🧙♀️
Love to all

I also found a small wicker tray which is going to be useful - I can now pull everything out of DS's cubby hole, put it inthe tray and sort it out from the comfort of my chair.

Afternoon ladies,
Thank you as ever for the thread. I am having a "listen to your body ASB!" day, and managed to nap for an hour already this morning. This feeling of having a constant cold, achey limbs and lethargy is really getting to me.
Before the children went to school I managed to get a load of washing done and on the line, sort the hens, wash up a million pots, make the beds and do a bit of admin. Also booked an online delivery slot for Wednesday. The sun has come out now which is nice.
I am going to make some lunch then get back under my heated blanket with my book. The stove can't be lit until the glass is fixed so blankets all round.
Piggers - gorgeous photos as ever.
Love to all xx11 -

I've gathered up every bag - plastic or cloth- from various places in the kitchen - so I now have a bag of tidily stashed bags.
I've also pulled everything out of DS's cubby hole into the wicker tray ready to go through. Everything will be binned, shredded, filed or handed over to DS. DS can then also have his file.
Music maestro aka Alexa please . And off we go
