Weekly Flylady Thread 16th October 2023

Morning ladies xx

Thank you Valli xx And I'm with you in spirit YL, we can do this 💪 xx

I slept OK- pretty exhausted after reaching the end of my tether and then having it yanked yesterday. Weird dreams though - involving flying! Bizarre. 

Anyhoo. I'm up, made my bed, got dressed, packed my lunch,  eaten breakfast and supped a brew. Not put the heating on this morning- is it warmer out? 

I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I trot (crawl) off to work.

Hope you all have a good day 😊

morning all

I have a washload to peg out… last one before storm (insert na me beginning with hits us.

And the DW to empty.  I am having my vertical half hour then it’s coffee time.

Does anyone use quidco and claim vouchers?  I have requested an M&S voucher, had the email to say it was on its way but no voucher as yet.  How long does it take?  Just thought i might as well claim a voucher as the payout is increased.

Paid stuff for me today

Morning all. Had a bad night with my chest infection but the drugs are working as I'm not coughing as much as I was Sunday/Monday (as I'm prone to chest infections, I always have a 'rescue' pack of antibiotics and 'roids in the first aid drawer so I don't have to wait for a GP  appt - note to self; order a repeat prescription)

I doubt I'll do much today as I feel rough but I'll try and do something in my two spare rooms of dreadful doom. My son finally bought his own place last year and has now moved out. They were the two rooms he used. There's still some of his stuff in there that needs to be taken to his. (He's only next door!). Maybe I'll find the energy to box some of it up.

Mr T is due this morning so there'll be food in the cupboards again.

So glad I got the wood in yesterday. It's v. dark and wet here thanks to the storm.

Usually pretty muchstraight away. I've been using topcashback (gratutuitous friends referral link.. ) more as the cashback rates are better for most things, quidco has been a bit poop recently.. but they are usually pretty quick.. I'd contact them if it has been more than 48 hours, sometimes the systems just get a backlog and crash.

From quidco.. Your ****** Gift Certificate Gift Card for £**.** will be emailed to you on the next working day. Please check your junk or spam folder before getting in touch with us.

Today I am making space for the greenhouse to come inside and all the plants which cannot be outside for frost.. I have about 50 spider plants out there!!

Flamingo, I would be lost without my flylady friends. You are never a burden or a nuisance to us, we are here to listen and support xx

Round - good for you!! I hope today is as without drama as it’s possible to be xx

Iona - are you okay lovely? I hope the BD has gone xx

Absolutely stinking cold here I feel rotten. I did sleep all night though thankfully. I am under a blanket on the sofa with a hot water bottle, my laptop and the fire lit. Can’t taste or smell a thing. I sneezed 12 times in a row earlier when making the beds, my pelvic floor couldn’t cope 🤣🫣🫣

I too have washing on the line, the rain is meant to hit us tomorrow. Take care all xx

No rain yet here, though it's forecast for lunchtime, so I need to get out into the garden and saw up a piece of wood to make a display stand - as you do!

Here's a picture of Rosie with my DGS2's latest artwork, and another of her surveying her realm yesterday (I was waving to Dizzy):

  

Hope your day goes well xxx

Thank you all. Feeling better today, not sure why!

Ionafan aww how cute!

Basics done, need to do weekly home blessing and also clean out car for holiday. Boarding passes done, washing and dryer on for the last few suitcase bits we need. Too rainy for the washing line.

Car done (inside at least, but outside OS getting a natural hoedown!). Floors still need doing but cordless v-ax battery on charge  that's my excuse! Boots rewaxed on inside for trip

oh flip... we've only had a visit from Environmental Health.  How is it that I got lumbered, I wonder...thank goodness I took it upon myself to take the Level 2 food hygiene course (and yes, I do know what touch points are...listed MANY examples)

Oh well - a walk in the park compared to ofSTed
