Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd August 2022

Fayolle

Buggalugs - that’s way more flying than I have achieved in a fortnight!  I haven’t been thrown out….yet 🤣.
Kaz - mid September and it’s a date! I cannot hope to achieve your amazing mileage and weight loss (already thinking of my excuses, not good), but I need to do something as my clothes are - ahem - snug, I’m not buying any more, and we are being threatened with a work Xmas “Do”. No way am I buying a new frock, so I had better be able to get into the one in my wardrobe.
Back from hospital, all good. We can breathe on this particular clinic for another year, curve balls excepted.
I clambered up Mount Ironmore and nearly reached the summit. Just DH’s shirts left, then. I’m not convinced on the merit of a strike if it isn’t being noticed, though!
Off to take DD to the station shortly, then I have some admin to do. I tried to tidy the utility room, but it was too overwhelming, so I closed the door 😉.

Piggers I am sorry you ended up not going out

I'm not.. I hate going out.. Pixie isn't happy though

Fay.. excellent news re hospital..

Hazel came in because it is raining.. and pooped in the hallway.. twice.. sometimes I could gleefully make her into a scarf!

Toilet seat cleaned

bunch of toilet roll put away.

Constructed christmas lists.. budget massively reduced this year so I need to think very carefully.. and buy a huge slide for DD1's children. I have sorted 3 people so far.. 27 to go .. and then my mothers.. when she hasn't even reimbursed me for last years presents!

Shoes shopping tomorrow for school.. I'd go today.. but weather..

Henry can come out for a walk and then I will be half dead so will knit some sleeves.. I have both on the needles at the moment.

Lol piggers I don't like going out either, I could happily become a hermit lol I am starting to knit and crochet Christmas gifts at the moment, and the price of wool is really annoying me!! Of course I have a stash, but it never has the right weight or the right amount or the right colour, you get my drift lol. I already have the fabric to mkae DD3's dress which will be her Christmas present, I have just ordered some aran weight yarn for DD2's bridesmaids offsprings Aran jackets, their Christmas presents, need to sort out another one yet. I have no idea what I will end up getting OH, he won't wear jumpers or scarves, it will probably be another cross stitch kit for him, if I can find one in my price range! I rue the day I taught him to cross stitch lol. I hate knitting sleeves, they seem to go on forever, then you have to do TWO ewww lol

I am a hermit! I am thankful for the rain.

I am knitting both sleeves at the same time to get them done. I've knitted the 7-8 and it is tiny .. I my have to frog and redo!

I've just been in my shed sorting out stuff inc bird seed for the winter to see what I actually have, caught something out of my eye in the field, there up by the fence was a fallow doe with its fawn, sat on the step edge and watch for about 15 mins until cat 2 decided to chase them away...................I'll try and a photo, it was truely magical.

Hoovering done

Its raining I have 3/4 full water butts, happy dance......

It’s rained most of the day here, so I’ll check my butt tomorrow.  I also have other stuff catching water, including a washing up bowl, and that’s half full.  It’s just taken me 20 minutes to herd the bunnies into their hutch.  

While DD is away I plan to attack my freezer stash. Used curry sauce (December) today. 

Have Halloumi fries (YS) and veggie chilli (earlier this year) thawing for tomorrow.
I have two packs of bacon (YS) too.  Could invite DS and DIL-in-all-but-name for Sunday breakfast. Decisions decision.
if it was waiting to be ironed it’s been ironed.  Basketful waiting to dry though.
Bed stripped and remade. 

WM and DW ready to run.

and I’ve finally sorted I player on the TV.  Currently watching Silent Witness.  There are over 200 epsodes…and the reason I sorted the I player.  I’m addicted.

Narc0lepsy

Torrential rain all day; butts full!    And pond looking a bit better although still a way to go.
- lovely coffee and cake with lovely flylady and DH not to mention beautiful flydog.
- quick tidy ready for this afternoon's assessment.
- Lovely young man but complex! Took ages and will doubtless take ages to write up, depending what previous paperwork his mum manages to find. 
- filled bird feeders
- checked greenhouse, picked a few tomatoes.
You want more? Sorry, no luck!!  Oh yes, I did some drumming practice but that isn't exactly contributing to a clean house.

Defrosted the frost-free freezer.. hoping it actually works after all this. I have all the veg in freezer bags with ice packs and in the fridge.. just waiting for the temp to drop to a figure the freezer can read!

DW loaded

recycling and maggot bins emptied.

sink unblocked
Sides wiped.

Good morning all

WM x3 - third load still running
DW x 1
Cheap rate leccy used as per Govt. directive.  Because it’s cheaper for me though.

Looking forward to filling both washing lines.  Only doing 2 hours at the Hub today because I stayed longer than intended on Wednesday.  Need to be there by 9:30 though as have a couple of packs to produce.  Hopefully I will then be home to fly.  I also need to hand wash my black bras. The bare boob has survived its first night attached (thank goodness) to the world’s most restless sleeper.  I would definitely not be safe sleeping in one of those tents which hang off a mountain.  (Has now made oneself feel rather Uncle !!!!!! and wobbly-legged).

GI - drumming is your thing therefore good for your MH which, in turn, supports you in menial tasks like flying.

I dreamt about flying.  I dreamed my shower curtain was a bit scummy and slimy so I popped it in the WM.

I do not have a shower curtain so that was a COMPLETE waste of nocturnal flying time.

Morning all

Work is bizarrely quiet, never known anything like it.  So I have made the executive decision to give myself the day off, have just done an hour tidying a few bits up then no more paid stuff until Tuesday, happy days.

After feeling tired and rubbish all week I feel the need to get out and ride my bike, so thats the plan.  I need to be back at 2pm for Mr M but otherwise the day is mine.

One load out and another load just gone in, some work stuff to wash.  I cleaned some windows yesterday, there are more to do.

Have a good Friday all xx
