Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd August 2022

YL.. YAY! on your MOT.. and such a relief DS will make his appointment. If he gives permission they will allow you to do it in future, I sort all Boogs appointment . Could t'other DS or DH not ring and pose as DS to make it?

I changed/cancelled my appointment.. they couldn't make another as none were available so we will see what idiocy I get sent. 2pm on a school day isn't going to work!

scarf 20 rows left... then tassels...

New WM has a big bend in the waste pipe so I have to rupture my usher dragging it out full of laundry and 57L of water to get it to empty... not impressed.. and the door aperture is tiny.. and the start button it on the wrong side and it doesn't have just a spin cycle.. I might see if I can return it.

Tax return finished.    Will do a final check tomorrow then submit it and tidy away all paperwork.
Checked greenhouse, picked a few things.
Did some drum practice; haven't done any for ages and if I'm not careful the new term will start and I won't have made any progress.
Rang new lake to change booking from Wed to next week.
Mr N and I went to a new-to-us birdie venue; Walthamstow Wetlands. I was glad he offered to drive; I haven't driven in London traffic for years.  We had a picnic lunch by the reservoir, saw lots of fairies plus other birds and generally had a pleasant time (although I'd rather have been swimming in it!). Mr N worked out that the last time he was there was 50yrs ago, eek, the young lady on the visitors info desk was impressed!     Saw a good art exhibition there too.
Card sent to friend for Wed birthday.
Organising private assessment for later this week.
Not very fly-like but a reasonable amount achieved as well as a pleasant outing.

Flying done - check

Ketchup not being a smoothie, despite the perfect logic, is my absolute favourite Flylady line of all time.

Woke up in discomfort 

yuk warning… 

plaster had adhered to operation wound scabs and me doing my rolling around the bed thing all night, pulled them off and more blood and pain.

after 5 minutes consideration about ringing the hospital, leaving a message, pootling up there for a 2 minute plaster swap if they could fit me in, I decided to remove and replace.  Done in seconds. Pain gone.

I’m up there anyway on Thursday.  And judging by what I have seen I won’t be having a shower anytime soon. 

and I now have some very grim pictures on my camera roll.  Because I can’t actually see my wounds myself.

DW x 1
vacuum cleaner battery fully charged.

crumble mixing?  You can make extra and keep it in the fridge!  We had plum crumble last night.

Valli sorry you are having so much trouble healing, vibes being sent to heal soon xxx

Nar0 thanks for the remind re tax return, I really should knuckle down and do mine...................

Been busy this morning so far

Cancelled 2 appointments, made a 3rd one

Booked cheaper tickets for local argicultural show, rather than buy 'on the gate'.

Finally sorted out my phone sim contract, I think,   old number should be ported by tomorrow, 3gb data, unlimited UK mins / text, 100 international mins. 1p for 6 months, then £4.80 onwards.  MSE weekly email. The trouble is I have no idea how much GB data I use a month.

DW is on

Driveway has been swept, I think either a cat or deer, has been pawing at the flowerbed / shrub undergrowth, dead grass etc was everywhere.

Off walking

Have a good day

Hi all. Late start today, didn't get out off bed till 6:05am, lie in for me! Of course I was awake half a dozen times in the night. The monitor in the little ones room is very sensitive and, to stop out being messed with, under the cot.Every time little man moves in the night i wake up! No news yet on baby's release date. 
Have like for a picture of DGD1, only one i can find on the tablet is around a year old. She looks quite a bit older now. Just for pigpen, but I'll let the rest of you look too.
I made the BlackBerry pie, and cooked the rest of the blackberries for jelly jam. Made two banana breads, and with the help of some girls made12jam tarts. The clean work top is now dirty again!Right I'm of, someone's lost a balloon! Hugs.xx

She is a lot like Pixie.. very beautiful .. She is possibly even more like Squeak.. this is from several years ago.




I have added tassels to 1 Dr Who scarf.. 2 more to go and 1 is heading to V!nted.. I need to recoup my yarn costs lol.I will pop a pic of the finished one in a bit.. I need to feed the gremlins.

Very proud of DIL today.. she has been accepted onto a GCSE maths course so she can hopefully do this then the access course and then teaching after that..

Lunch.. DW.. WM.. laundry shuffle (It got VERY rained on last night!) then more tassels!!! 98 strands of wool per scarf..

pigpen

Finished scarf number 1!! 

mumtoomany

And that one looks a lot like my third one before she became he. We must be related somewhere along the way, or just both know how to produce beautiful children/grandchildren. Ha ha.
Everyone now fed, DW on again. Washing from yesterday been tumbled, it rained by the time it was washed yesterday and raining again today. The last few lambs, who had escaped into the other field, have now been treated to prevent fly strike. Smallest one is asleep, next one playing nicely with her cousins and I should really be tidying! Cup of coffee it is then, hugs, mumtoomany.xxx
