It's been so nice today.. no phone calls from the outlaws.. guess I must be slacking lol..OH signed off sick for weeks.. he has spent a lot on plants and I am fretting about money for the next 2 months.. this could not have come at a worse time for us.. but, we will manage I guess.. I may need to push Vnd sales a bit harder.. I've had £100 in the last 10 days and a womble who was rather rude so i refunded her rather than deal with her horrible behaviour. Some people have no manners!DS1 been talked at about how he is handling his finances in regards to DIL. DW been on 3 times and WMs part loaded. Meem took 7 balls of wool home.. I may need to get my boxes together and condense the stash now I have spaces.
Kitchen swept and sides wiped, pack ups done and I have 2 very busy days ahead with Squeaks autism assessment.. I might get time to do something in about a weeks time with sports days and assessments and hospital appointments and cooker repair and OH and his blooming plants!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)7 -

yesterday i went to work, did my swimming and went back to work after nipping home for lunch and to swill swimming stuff and peg it out. I also went swimming on Saturday with DD. I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my knees - far less painful which is excellent.
Back at work in the evening for a meeting. Am having today and Thursday off; sis is coming up on Thursday and we’re going to fly at the aged Ps.
Actual flying was minimal but i have put stuff away in the kitchen, sorted all the stuff retrieved from the aged Ps bar two jars which need emptying and washing out.
We have rain forecast for all day, it’s raining now so I won’t be pegging out.
Flylady vibes for DD please…she has an interview.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Morning all,
Finally sloping in late again. Thank you for the lists. It definitely needs to be the bathroom today, but as for the Toots list? Well, I think I got overwhelmed by it and threw it out in disgust. I will rethink it in September, as I am much better at starting things in September. New pencils and pencil cases, and all that.
We joined Narc0, and finally got some rain in the early hours. Not a lot, and nowhere near as much as promised, but the pavement is still wet 4 hours later. I have decided not to allotment today. I’m not feeling it, although I probably should be, and possibly would if I made the effort. This morning I am going to put in some flying effort, and you never know, I might even make a start on the admin mountain. Again.
Bedding changed, wm x1 has just finished. I need to dry my hair before it turns into a frizzy mop like last week. Must retrieve my hairdryer from DD’s room while she isn’t here, as she “borrowed” it and never thought fit to return it.
Valli, hope you’re ok
Back later x7 -
Morning all.
Flylady vibes to Valli's DD.
Dailies and dog walk are done. It's now raining so I'll potter indoors until going to an appointment later.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.8 -
Morning all.
Posivibes for your DD, Valli - glad to hear that your knees are improving, too x
Glad your OH has a sympathetic GP, pigpen - hope he is fit enough to take some of the pressure off you too xx
Nice to see you back, mumtoomany x
We have had steady, gentle rain since 5 am and everything is fresh and a lot cooler. I have celebrated by sorting the rubbish and recycling, dusting and hoovering all through downstairs, and sewing on a Wolf Cub badge for my goddaughter's sister
DH is off to SW this morning, and I've left some frozen lasagne out for him to heat up for his lunch. I am going out for lunch at a GC with my Cypriot friend, and may also have time to visit my other poorly friend who is supposed to be resting at home (hopefully not back in horse piddle). Afterwards I shall need to time Rosie's walk between showers!
Hugs to all in need xxx6 -
Cooey, me again.
So... I thought I'd work up the lists and my toots job was sorting the first aid box. Then I moved on to ironing, which led to sorting out clothes in wardrobe which led to sorting out hats and shoes in the shoe cupboard. Then I cleaned all the light switches in house. Next up the list was sorting out toiletries which I did in bathroom and bedroom and then s&sd the bathroom while I was in there.
I have got rid of two items on fb this morning and five items of clothing are now in a charity bag.
I have hoovered through and DH and I have just had early lunch.
That's all my flying done for today. I'm off to my appointment soon then will read more of my book when I get back.
Back to work tomorrow.Spend less now, work less later.7 -
Impressive flying, Jazee!
lots of vibes for Valli Girl.
Bathrooms have been cleaned. I am mustering up enthusiasm for the downstairs toilet. Bedroom and LR dusted. What a shame - DH is on work calls all afternoon, so vacuum cleaning is off my list 🤫.2nd load of washing on the line, as any rain is firmly sitting in Iona’s direction and not heading this way. I’m currently turning an old duvet cover into a pair of trousers to get to grips with the pattern. As I have just managed to join one front leg to the other, I would say it was work in progress!!8 -
I've spent the most boring 3 hours of my life with Squeak and her autism assessment.. I haven't been so bored in my whole life and she has another 3 hours tomorrow.. I may fall asleep.

so…
kitchen cleaned - blind man has been to measure up so it had to be done. Amazingly I found the perfect roller blind fabric right at the beginning of the swatches. I looked at the others just in case but it was a done deal. Quickest decision i have EVER made…
I have also finished the band for the baby cardigan and pinned it on, cleared the dining table (my eternal hot spot), transferred the deposit for the blind and paid work back for the cs i bought from Am@zon on the work bank card, homed various items, added to the CS box - two pepper grinders found at the aged Ps but washed prior to donating because i’m not a skank. I already donated my old one - salt grinders seem to die earlier. Washing out of WM but it has rained non stop.
I ought to clean the bathroom, not least because the steam cleaner is out.
