Weekly Flylady Thread 8th May 2022

Had a great free day out with K and her girls - we went to our regional CoOp's Fairer Living Festival,  arranged around the AGM (but we gave that a miss), at Cheltenham racecourse. If you are a member and something similar is happening in your area, it's probably worth a look.  There were fun activities for the girls to do, delicious food samples from local suppliers (I think DH tried them, all) including locally made gin (which K rated highly), a folk band that set my feet tapping, an inspiring talk by Ben Fogle, and lots more.  As the icing on the cake, cloud gave way to sunshine after lunch, showing off the countryside in all its glory.

Rosie went out twice with the dog walker and this evening has eaten her boiled fish rolled in crushed antibiotics without complaining and had her usual mad half-hour - it's so good to have her well again

Flying has consisted of loading the DW after 2 meals, re-heating lasagne and jacket potatoes for tea, and sewing 2 badges onto a Cub's jumper

Evening all!

Squeak tken back to musical theatre .. pets @ gnome visited, bunnies were having fun in their enclosure.. bought cat biscuits and litter.. watched her show.. spongebob the musical.. I loathe spongebob!

Got her mcd's on the way home.. knitted a pair of mittens and heading up the wooden hill now..

Pizza in the microwave if anyone is in need in the WAC (wide awake club for those noobs and vips) ..

Tomorrow I need to fill this file, torture myself making GF biscuits for Twinkle.. I hate baking but she needs some in her pack up.. I might do her some twinks she loved those.. I have GF flour and oats.. i will see how much I hate myself in the morning.

OH has a car seat to wash.. birds to feed .. and his PITA family to deal with.. none of them have my phone number, I have peace!

Morning all.  Hope you're all ok.

Today I have done dailies, one wash load is in machine, cut DHs hair, hoovered through and walked Poppet.  Grass mincing next.

Morning all xx 

Been meaning to ask you piggers  - are you noticing any difference in Twinkle's energy levels or general demeanour since she switched to GF. I realise it's a long haul but was just wondering. Please excuse my ignorance if that's a stupid question. 

The neighbours are all in shock. I've done QH gardening!!!! I pulled up weeds around the edge of the back yard, secateured the baby trees trying to grown from under the house. Sorry baby trees. Then cut down two saplings and pulled all the ivy away that was starting to grow up the wall of the house. Ooops. Sorry ants. 

I've also measured the entrance on my bird house. I've had a pair of great tits, a goldfinch and a starling show interest. The starling especially so. The hole is 1 inch across. Is that big enough? 

Coffee next.

It has only been 12 days but no.. there is no difference at all but it can take a while if it is coeliac disease rather than choosing to not eat gluten. She has complained a bit less about tummy aches at bed time but her eczema is still sore. She did a poo the other day which had ends but that is the only thing we have noticed but she didn't really have symptoms which couldn't be linked with other things. It was honestly not one of the diagnoses we were expecting because there were no symtoms as such.

DW on, 1 WM on, kitchen swept and wiped so it is actually presentable in there.

Cat biscuit dispenser filled and the 2 empty boxes filled.

Twinkles cereal and spaghetti decanted into containers

I need another run of the DW and the sides should all be cleared. It was a swamp in there.

Cuppa and hanging out washing...

Saga of the inlaws has stepped up 4 gears.

Back grass cut, still looks awful.  I stopped for lunch so now need to wash up before tackling the front grass.

I've been into town to fill up with petrol and pick up my prescription. I thought about loading my boot with stuff to take to DS but it started to rain - so that knocked that idea on the head.

I managed to get another QH weeding done while the sun was shining. I am soooo not fit at all.

OH outside washing the car.. and it appears the girls too.. they are very damp and there is a lot of squealing.

4x WM in total

DW about to be filled for the 3rd time.. that will be everything I think until after dinner.

Moomin put her own washing on the line.. very proud! It is the first time she has hung it out without me growling.

My seat in the car washed .. Squeak had an AF accident.

I need to do dinner and packups and I never did get that baking done.. this is why I don't even try most of the time! OH needs to find uniforms though I think I just put Dots trousers in the WM.

I cannot find the SALT report o the latest neurology report.. but I have in the process filled a carrier of rubbish.. Dots reports etc are in a folder all neat and tidy.

Hi all

Glad Rosie is better, and well done on the gardening Round.

After a bit of a meltdown last night because I felt tired and ill and was worried about my underactive thyroid playing up I went to bed and slept for 10.5 hours.  Whether I will sleep tonight remains to be seen!

We went to my parents for lunch, I cycled there and came back in the car with DH after a huge lunch and 3 glasses of wine.  Mum and I went for a little wander around the village in the sunshine, although it wasnt quite warm enough to sit outside.  It was very relaxing.

After a big flying effort the house now looks presentable and I feel ready for the week ahead.

See you all on the new thread.
