Weekly Flylady Thread 28th November 2023

[Deleted User]

Morning All, sorry I was AWOL last week.  Life got in the way.  The in-laws were round for dinner on Sunday so the kitchen was deep cleaned in preparation.

Thanks for the new thread @Natty68, and the Christmas reminders are really helpful.

Todays plans:
Bedding change
Bedroom S&S and hoover

Dinner today will be quiche and HM chips.  DH is meeting me for lunch and he's bringing sandwiches and hot chocolate.

I'm back...from outer space. Oh no, that's a different thing altogether.  Now wondering if anyone will come back at me with the next line 🤣

I'm dressed, sploshed bleach down the loo,  put clean towels in the bathroom, done a laundry shuffle which has cleared the airer but not put the airer away as WM is swishing towels and tea towels....and it's raining.

I've fed the birds and put out the recycling. 

Aspirations for today (thankyou asb 😘)
WUDUPA 
Write Christmas cards 
Write Flylady Christmas cards 
Read leccy meter 
Wait in for parcel delivery 

Tomorrow 
Work 
Pay rent 
Pay C Tax 
Pay leccy bill 
Pick up (a different) parcel if arrived at PO 

If I get my Christmas cards written and the parcels arrive all I'll have to do in December is post/deliver cards and wrap/ deliver presents. I've never been so organised! Maybe flyladies are a good influence 🥰 And I keep getting the urge to knit. Seriously. I used to knit many moons ago...before DS arrived.....and I still have my knitting needles ....somewhere!  I believe there is a wool shop in the little town down the road. I guess they will sell patterns to. Hmmmm low spend Dec/Jan concentrating on unpigstying the house = reward in Feb. (Predictive text hates me...it doesn't think unpigstying is a word 🤣)

Love to you all

Morning everyone, It's a lovely sunny day here although its chilly.

My list for today
Get dressed
Feed the animals
Wash down the inside of the kitchen door and the window frames
Do paid stuff
Attend uni classes
Spend an hour on revision for the upcoming 
Clean out the inside of the fridge
Wash the windows inside
Clean the top of the kitchen wall units
Make sure that all festive food has been added to Mr T orders over the next few weeks. 
Check bin collection days over the festive period. 
Start festive shopping. 
Finish the high dusting in the kitchen
Declutter and clean the work surfaces in the kitchen. 
Paint some more of the kitchen. 
Declutter the table in the living room
Put away the Halloween decorations that have just been sitting on the living room table since they were down a few weeks away. 
Sweep and mop the kitchen floor
Move the table from the sitting room into the kitchen. 
Spend some time with DH tonight, as we both have a rather busy week so need to make time when we can. 

It's going to be a busy week as I'm hoping to get some of the house decluttered and decorated before the festive period (probably not a good idea when I'm just starting a new part-time job and have exams looming). Think that is everything that I need to tackle today. Hope everyone has a lovely Monday/week.

And there is always one who rises to the bait..
…I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key…🤣
Lunch in sc, WULTD, kitchen prissed, dw run….

Morning all. Been busy so far. Three grandchildren fed watered and decluttered to school. DW loaded and run, needs doing again now. WMx2, both filled and run, I was hoping there might be some sunshine, think it'll be the drier. All sides wiped down. Pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Dentist rearranged. 

Still to do, car tax to sort.
Veg to peel,
Children to collect, feed, put to bed, and probably three stories to read. Listen to DGD1 read her reading book, it's in welsh! I know enough to know if she's pronouncing words correctly, but not enough to know what any of it means.
DW, at least twice more.

Right off to put the kettle on. If anyone needs any rain, just let me know, we've more than we need, again!

Hugs to all, mumtoomany.xxx

I'm sure you're my sister by another mother and mister Fayolle ❤

I've WULTD,  towels and tea towels have had an extra spin and are now artfully draped on the airer. My parcel has arrived. Yayyy. Box was rather wet but contents are OK so that's alright. I've updated my Christmas present buying list and I just need a pack of jammie dodgers for L's husband (it's tradition 😊) and a box of chocs for my niece's husband - to replace the box that I ate on Saturday evening while watching Dr Who and Strictly. 😙 whistles nonchalantly. 

I'm having a coffee. Join me?

2 SNOTTY!!! emails sent. One demanding they music service reinitiate Dots clarinet lessons and another demanding the school fulfils their legal obligation regarding Squeaks illegal exclusions.. they have marked her as 'unauthorised absence' every time they have sent her home.. I am NOT having that!!

Parcel collected.. I will mark it as sent tomorrow.. the buyer was a PITA nagging when it would be posted minutes after she paid so I am being petty and not marking it as sent to make her stew.

FINALLY received the 3rd Darth Vader mug and this on was beautifully packaged and in tact.. Boog even said the dreaded word.. 'thank you' ...!! I am still not sorting out the cannula's for the pump though.

I did not sort my prescription as it is raining and freezing.

I need to clear and refill the airers but they are full of napping cats.. we do not move napping cats!! 2 are also naked.. the identical twins!

I have received 2 packages for Dot.. I have left them for her to open when she gets home but huge public recognition and thanks to @Honey_Bear is necessary for sourcing the much covetted dinosaurs to make my lovely girl happy.. thank you so very very much

Cuppa and snacks incoming I think.. we are heading off to shop tonight so I need to forage something out for dinner.. I might fling chicken in for the PH (male appendage havers ~ they are the only chicken eaters) and see what is available for the girls.. I will have very little again but my stomach is less irritated since dropping all the wheat/egg/milk/chicken/almond .. I will wait a few weeks and start trying them 1 thing at a time.

Hello again. You lot make me laugh so much and your kindness is outstanding.

Dailies except putting out recycling are done and we managed to walk Poppet when the rain eased off.  DGD2 is now napping.  Think I'll just relax instead of flying actually.

Chucking it down here

2 x WM done, just waiting for cheap rate electricity to kick in, then will turn it on

DW loaded again waiting for cheap rate.

Fire cleaned out, ash currently in conservatory, as too wet to take it to the bottom of the garden

Cat fed, and like Pigpen's asleep around the house in various places.

Hoovered bed room

Changed the bed / towels etc

Shower plug drain thing cleaned (yuk)

Basins and sinks cifed and polished round

ex OH has rung (he very rarely rings) to tell me DSS(1) is spliting up with his wife, don't really know why I need to know, as I have very very little to do with any of them from that era of my life, I hope I don't get dragged into a he said she said type thing or similar.

Other admin type stuff done

Pots DUPA while I was making cheese on toast for my lunch. 

Parrots taken for gnarling headache.
