Weekly Flylady Thread 28th February 2022

[Deleted User]

Morning all

As usual I am checking in after doing eleven trillion jobs. Children to school in fancy dress for world book day, chickens and ducks cleaned out thoroughly, cake in the oven, a few texts sent. I have also meal planned through to Monday and done a quick tidy up of DS wardrobe.

Oh and poo picked lol.

Iona - I would have been raging. They just simply don’t get it do they. Same applies to you Piggers - I totally get where you’re coming from. You put everyone else first in your life, and all you want is a blimmin tap.. again I’d be raging too.

Round - I think of you during the day and wonder how work is going. Never forget the flyladies are here for you xx

Right I need to pick up a few more bits of clothing from DD’s floor and take some more bits upstairs. Hopefully then the cake will be ready and I can have a slice with my cuppa.

Mademoiselle I agree by the way. I think you’re all just marvellous and so wish we could all give each other a hug and a glass of something nice in real life xx

Big love to you all xx

I do want an £800 tap which does boiling water and filtered cold water which I can actually drink.. our tap water smells of chlorine.. I do have an eye for class.. and we might never have the money for it again.. I know it is excessive but it hurts me to lift the kettle to make drinks and that is going to get worse. I am thinking of the future for myself and my needs as the arthritis progresses. It isn't all about petty wants.. and the flex tap will be perfect for filling the fish tank and washing OH's juice bottle.. and rinsing the sink.. and filling cat water bottles.. and rinsing pots.. so many practical uses .. I've had 2 years of wanting it to think of reasns why.. and it had 10% off last month.

Iona.. I would be really mad too.. leaving you worrying and posting rubbish to people who don't matter. I hope the treatment for his asthma will help matters and prevent these recurrent issues.. take some time for yourself.. you need time to recharge too and you have to take it, n ne will give it to you!!  Glad you found your bank doohicky.. OH has one for his but no idea what it is for or where it is.. he is with Natwest their app is rubbish..

I am seriously thinking I might just walk out of this house one day, grab the keys for the Flylady bus, and drive to the east of England, via everywhere else we had planned, then we can all enjoy a series of Flymeets xx

I have paid a quick visit to the C00p to pay in a cheque at the PO,  and bought bread, milk, butter and bananas.  Not expecting to need anything else until next week.

I politely asked SH to open the window in his man cave for some fresh air, and to walk out to the shed to put away some cardboard boxes (which DS1 might want) in the right place, rather than leaving them on the draining board in the utility.  That was half an hour ago, and I don't think he has done either yet - certainly not opened the window!

Now that I've finished a cuppa and my head has cleared a bit, it's back to the accounts.  Wish me better progress today!

Mademoiselle

Lunch eaten, 
Walk done

Iona.. we could all chip in and buy Ma'am's house and all bugle off for some peace and quiet.. it could be a flylady haven of peace and tranquility with a total man and child and man-child ban.. just flyladies, cat, and puppers.. and chickens.. and goats.. and shetland ponies.. and geese to honk at invaders..

2 loads of washing out..

lots of smalls in the dryer waiting for some company..

2x WM with towels and bedding mainly

2 lots taken upstairs and folded ready to go away

I'll have more medication and put the gammon in the SC like I said I was going to.. I remembered a thing!! YAY!!!

electrician booked to come the 9th to sort the bathroom light fitting and make it safe and usable.. it is a 5 minute job but it needs doing right.

Mademoiselle

Sounds a great idea Pigpen,

Been shopping, bought the essentials, wine (red & sparkling pink), whisky, chocolate & cheese.  A load of other stuff but not really sure what we'll be eating over the next week, inspiration was lacking.  

Time for a cuppa and then I'll see if anything else gets done.

Valli

Loving the essentials list

Loving being a flylady too.

Afternoon all, you've been busy! Hugs and solidarity for pigpen and Iona. It's infuriating when all your care and effort for others seems to be dismissed and disregarded. 
Only dailies so far this week as seem to have arranged every year group needing marking at once so been working until 9/10 each night - what an idiot. But have watered plants, put washing away and S and S bathroom. Cooking fish fingers and chips for myself and 8yo, she is glued to TV. Thank god for TV. 
Valli, I had to laugh at your dream - classic! I often dream I'm on the wrong site, we have two and commute between during the day. It adds a little extra drama to the day wondering if you're in the right place.
