Weekly Flylady Thread 16th October 2023

Boo! 

Not sure if anyone here remembers me from a decade or so ago....  But I recognise some names and hope you're all well. I'm also glad to see this forum is still v. well up and active.

I'm back because I'm now retired from work  (as of last week!) and have health issues which means I don't have the same stamina I did a decade or so ago when I last posted, But I'm determined to work my way up to level 1 each day over the next few weeks and this thread will give me the impetus to do that...

Welcome (back) soappie 😊

I put the rubbish and recycling out. I've had a shower and I'm watching TV in my nightie.

Tomorrow is another day

Evening all,

Just flopped in a heap on the sofa. I am worn out. I have developed a stinking cold and my head is pounding.

Iona I am throwing all the sticks I have at your BD. Sending you lots of love and strength xx

HB - I know it sounds obvious, but get some bait stations set up. We have several around the immediate exterior of the house and on the field. We will never not have rats in the area because of the animals (despite the feed being stored in airtight buns) and being rural generally. Keep the bait stations topped up at all times, and it WILL make a difference I promise you xxx

Round I am so happy your boiler issue is sorted. I hate C&C soup, like HB it just doesn’t work as a combo for me. Take care lovely xx

I hope everyone sleeps well, big hugs xx

Thanks Honey,  I have amended it to say to pm me details. In hindsight I should have thought about not posting the email addy even though it is purely one set up for the CC swap 😉

Hi to Soappie.
Have skim-read thread, so sending sticks to BD, good news about various operations, hugs to those in need and who I haven't commented on.
I'd like to be added to the card list please Natty, I've pm'd you but same name/address as before.

Had a nice weekend at my Mum's and did lots of flying there but sadly no swimming.   Got home yesterday eve and unpacked straight away (unusual for me).  Boiler apparently not working.
Today:
- went to zumba
- wudupa
- did some kitchen tidying
- one load washing done, hung out and brought in
- put a meal in SC which did us this evening and will be tomorrow's too
- caught up on emails
- started to write a report
- printed off another few assessment requests

SOAPPIE!!!! How wonderful to see you back home xxx

that’s it, i’m in bed.  I will be going to The Deep in November with my old job (as a volunteer helper) but it’s semi selfish as I ❤️ the garden eels and the little hoppy fish that hop about on the land and I’ll get in free.  I’ll have to work though, and mind a group.  And lug an ipad about for photos.  I will wave to any Flylady nearby and i will get stupidly excited when I see the bridge.  

DW locked and loaded.  I remembered my cream tonight, too, but i’m not so panicky as i was last night (when i forgot it) as my smear test isn’t until next month.  I just hope it works…I couldn’t sit down after the last one *wince*.

Been out to lunch with my former colleagues and have come home with a new set of multi coloured LED christmas tree lights.  From a garden centre so not cheap.  But who cares?

Welcome back soappie 

Thanks for the sticks, Honey_Bear xx and asb xx 
BD has been in and out of the house all day, but I'm feeling a bit better this evening.  DH has been to the Dr and got a slightly stronger antibiotic than the one A&E sent him home with, 10 days ago.  He has actually told me he is not intending to go out until Friday at the earliest.  I think that decision was made more as a result of my rant this morning about him looking after himself than of how ill he is feeling atm.  He doesn't seem able to gauge how fast his condition can change, but the Dr mentioned sepsis, which may have prodded him into such a drastic (!!!) decision.

Anyway, I got an hour's sleep between doing and hanging out WMx4/shopping/collecting the computers and fetching Rosie from kennels/bringing the washing in/cooking tea/taking DH to the surgery, which has done me a bit of good and sent the BD packing for now.

Having done 4 jobs today which were originally on tomorrow's calendar, I now have an easier day ahead.  I need to go to Action Heart and work off a few of the calories that I consumed at DD's   Rosie will need a walk, which will also help.

Bed calls.  I don't keep biscuits in the house nowadays, but there is hot chocolate in the flask for the WAC xxx
