Weekly Flylady Thread 15th May 2023

Fayolle

Thanks, Piggers x

Not a bad day at work. The list hasn’t been crossed off, but I find that actually I don’t mind atm. Fed up with whatever internal alarm clock is going off at 2am though. 

Pretty sure that there has been no flying beyond the basics of basics. And on a Friday night, that is very little. Popped in to Mr W on the way home to look at their plants which had looked so good last week and on offer. They were suffering from severe neglect but reduced, so with a drink the 2 boxes I bought should survive. I resisted anything else.
NDN has texted - would we be amenable to a takeaway with them tomorrow? Sounds like a plan, hang the budget for one night.

i have been to the paid stuff, and ended up staying longer than intended…one of the issues is it’s close to home  and it’s easy to just do a last little job… anyway I love my job so there it is.

i have also conquered the ironing…DDs maiden has been pressed into service (see what I did there) because it had built up due to my low energy levels/lack of spoons.  Trouble is it all starts again tomorrow…but at least the forecast is good.

Have almost completed the back of my new top - am up to the raglan now - but have hit an instruction which floored me…ssk.  Well thank goodness for u tube.  All makes perfect sense when i can see a video..

Might be knitting instead of doing my spreadsheet. *  Attempts to whistle innocently but really struggles to whistle, actually * 

It’s the first time i’ve knitted something for myself for *checks notes* 40 years.  There’s a lot to be said for large needles and fat yarn

Morning

First time in this week so a although a bit late thanks to Natty for the thread. Hope you are all ok.

Have had a crazy week with a migraine from last Saturday which is still lingering. Have managed to dose up and remain at work which has been my worst ever. I have had the most amazing support from my manager but dealing with a totally delusional person who has threatened the reputation of both the company and myself have taken a toll on me, leading me to consider my future in that role and having to ensure my real name is not used on my social media, something I just never anticipated in my career path. Hopefully that's over now and I have a 3 day weekend to catch up with myself.

Dailies and minimal cooking have been done this week but today I am going to tackle the list but as its nice outside, might do some jobs out there to start.

Hallooooo xx I'll not say Morning as it'll probably be afternoon by the time I press Send.
How are you all? What's occurring? Have I missed anything citing while I was back at the paid stuff? 

Nothing citing happening here. I was getting up, looked at the clock, 5.22am! Nope. Not getting up. Woke up at 9! And now I have that hungover feeling that comes on after oversleeping. Two loads of washing swished and pegged out. It's a glorious day. Sunny but not hot. I'm not a fan of hot. Today is just about perfect for me 😊

Two brews supped but not eaten anything yet as not been hungry. Maybe I'm ill? 🤔

I've fed the birds, put out the recycling,  decanted bird seed into its container, made my bed, and I'm dressed. 

I think I'm going to have a light lunch and then have pizza and onion rings delivered this evening 😋 I was thinking of motoring down to Fayolle's to join her, but maybe they won't have onion rings. 🤔  Not going to risk it 🤣

Love to all
Rxx

In order to put the WM's on I had to.. clear and wipe the table, put the DW on, empty the TD, put undies from WM into said TD, wipe all the worksurfaces, empty the maggot and recycle bins, boss OH to bring down 2 lots of laundry, clear the airer and  THEN I could put the WM's on.. them one leaked all over the floor so I have mopped half the kitchen too now... Honestly, it is madness!! And then OH had the gall to complain because I need to do a shop and I wasn't ready while he was standing watching me... blooming men!!! gggrrrr... if you helped you muppet it might get done quicker!

lunch done for 2.

crumbs cleaned out of toaster.. Twinkles toast ready to go when they get back from dance class.. Would it be excessive to buy a GF toaster?? Morries do one for £7..

OH is refusing to ring the in-laws.. I am done nagging.. if they die it is not on me I have done everything I can bar getting on a train I cannot afford.

Swimming bag needs sorting but OH took the towels upstairs so he can go retrieve them when he gets back

Twinkles prescription needs collecting from B00ts.. I need to make her some biscuits, she loves biscuits and GF cost more than I am willing to pay!

My labradors are stressed and for some idiotic reason I am a bit closer to tears than I like to be for absolutely no reason other than I am utterly overwhelmed.

Oh.. I requested the GP allow me to make appointments online so I don't have to ring at 8am, waste 45 minutes on hold to be told there are no appointments and the girls are late for school.. we shall see.. they want photo id so that's a laugh.

Have you considered toaster bags for the GF toast? They can be reused, might be easier to store the bags away from foods with gluten rather than the entire toaster. And you don't have to monitor the "gluten free" toaster for contamination by accidental use.

Have been outside (sunshine but bit cold with the wind) and washed all the windows and frames downstairs out the back, swept the yard area outside the back door, trimmed back a couple of pots with dying plants and moved them into an area that catches some sun. DH moved them last year to put in a wood box as we were getting free wood but didnt thing about them getting any sunlight. I've moved and washed down one of the bird feeders and trimmed back some protruding stuff under the shingled area that has been annoying me for years.

I've had 2 mugs of tea, 2 of coffee and 6 biscuits and have now lost my mojo

Hello.  Hope you're all ok.

Pretty much spent the last two days in bed.  Thought I felt a little better this morning so took Poppet for a walk but then had to call DH to,pick us up.  Back to bed and I've just got up again.

Flying is just one wash load in the last three days.

Yes, thank you . I have ordered some for when I do her food.. But people in my house are a bit stupid sometimes lol. Her toaster would be kept in her cupboard and only out for her and labelled in 3 languages and pictures.. I even looked at the dualit ones to match the kettle because I 'want them to match'..  I have looked at buying a cricut machine to label everything which is GF, I have obsessive tendencies and I know this is all irrational behaviour but my brain is incorrigible.. It was just a thought I do a lot of thinking and very little doing..

OH has washing to hang out and I have a demented Dot to take to opticians.. she is on top form..
