Weekly Flylady Thread 9th May 2022

basketcase

Feeling a bit brighter following Covid and a ridiculously draining trip to a gig.

I'll try to fly this week, but suspect it may be flutter,flutter, THUNK. S&S +1 in bathroom/kitchen and 15 minutes declutter as a minimum.

My incentive will be DD coming up for our annual Eurovision Party.

Big pre-Covid jobs which I aim to complete are:

• Finish pigeon-proofing the verandah (I acquired chicken wire etc the day I tested positive)
• Finish reorganising kitchen

PLUS:

• Ironing the stack of clean washing I managed between coughs!
• Rearranging the living room so DD can sleep in it

Doesn't sound much, really, does it?  But one thing I like about this thread is that Flyers understand why it is...

Hi can I join in? I've got covid and not feeling 100% so will be some gentle fluttering today. 

I've put the washing out and put another load on this morning. I'm going to go and see what I can get achieved in half an hour

Vicklg

In my half hour I

Cleaned sink and drainer

Opened windows
Lit candles

Washed up

Cleaned surfaces and appliances

Emptied bin and cleaned it

Cleared table and put clean tablecloth on

Now going to sit with a cuppa before I do anymore

Welcome Vicklg.
 I have walked the dogs, changed bedding, am mid way through numerous wash loads, and I've finally cut the grass back and front.

Welcome Vicklg.
Kazwookie  well done on weight loss.  Just remembered that I'd planned to grit teeth and stand on scales first thing....forgot!
Just jumped on here to check list, as I vowed to do level 1 every day. Needless to say I've already deviated.
- went for a run
- cleaned shower cubicle while I was in there (not actually a bright idea, all that steam and shower spray wafting in my face!
- one load washing done and hung out.
- sent off Zoom details for Thursday's online assessment.
- continued another report.  2 to do, both part done.
- have kept up the 'every room I go into will have some item put away in its proper place' plan, so that's a good bit of clutter tidied.
- rashly put immersion heater on for potential kitchen flying.  Washed up.
- emptied food waste/compost bin, now soaking to clean.
- planted out some bedding plants.

Mr N has gone to gym, taking with him stuff to drop at CS, then he's checking when garage can put a new tyre on my car and wash car (1 wash a month is in service plan!!  Probably all it will get).

Vicklg

Thanks for the welcomes. I've just done another half an hour and I

Washed up lunch dishes

Brought dry washing off line

Put another load on the line and one in the wm

Cleaned the top half of the cupboard fronts

Tidied the living room

I've also washed the fruit bowl,  which I believe was on the list!!! Torn up and recycled two boxes. And pulled up some goosegrass growing in my honeysuckle. Which has flowered, for the first time in years. Yayyy.

Well done kaz xx (on the weight loss,  not the sunburn!).

Welcome to newbies 😊

Welcome Vicki.. Take it easy if you're unwell.. nothing healing about running yourself ragged!

Kaz.. well done!

I have potted 25 baby spider plants and repotted the big mamma plant.. she was VERY pot bound.. she now has lots of growing room and I chopped off all the dead leaves so she had a trim too.. all fed and watered and hopefully I can find somewhere to ut them all that the darn cats wont eat them!

OH emptied cat trays.. and power washed them.. I refilled them and Noz ate the litter..

(serious case of deja vu going on here.. so weird! )

WM x4  washed

2 loads hung out.
2 more lots to hang out

Kitchen floor where the cat tray lives scrubbed.. and the tiles alongside..

I'm going for a cuppa and then will have to trek to school.. maybe change my jumper first I am all muddy/dusty/smelly.

kazwookie

Pigpen is not the cats I have to worry about eating things, it is the deer, it is like / was an al la carte restaurant for them, hopefully my new expensive fence will keep them out, unless they nip round the road way in!!

Budget for April checked against spends, woops................May must try harder...............

According to the NHS BMI web site, I still have 9lbs to go, it has been telling me this for the last 3 weeks or so, yet I have lost at least 5lbs during this time, so something somewhere is wrong.  OH reckons he can now get his arms round me    and I am craving ice cream this afternoon..................none in the house, but a walk to local supermarket could be on, but I could get it home before it melted.

Off to get washing in.....

Welcome to the madhouse vicklg x

Horrible day at work, just everything seems so damned difficult at the moment.  I have a big audit on 17th June and am fretting about it already.  I mean, whats the worst that can happen?  I could have made a mistake or missed something, which wont be nice but they are hardly likely to give me the sack after 9 years!

Cycled in which was nice even if it was a bit blowy coming home.  Trying to stretch the quarter of a tank of diesel that I have in the car.

DW emptied, kitchen swished and swiped, bed made, pasta bake put in the oven.  That's about it for me so far, I have a Teams meeting at 6pm so will eat some pasta then get that out of the way.
