Weekly Flylady Thread 19th February 2024

Rather wandered away from the list today (so what's new)
- zumba x 2
- did some gardening with Mr N in a particularly troublesome area of our front garden. It has some sort of wild small bramble-like thing which is long, slender and silvery and with nasty spiky bits that embed themselves in any bit of flesh which tries to remove them.    I don't usually like wearing gardening gloves and am inclined to grab handfuls of weeds/ivy/grass in flower beds with bare hands then yelp loudly.
- spent far too long finishing a book
- did a bit of drum practice
- wudupa
- did more knitting
- did a bit of jigsaw (we're on another one)
- put a bit more CPD on line. This is getting urgent now.

Ahhhh.....bedtime 😊

The builders have done the work needed in the dining room. They even mopped the floor when they were done! The bricks from the old hearth were just damp dust 😱 Fortunately the wall either side was bone dry, so hopefully this will sort things. They are popping back in the morning to lay some more hardboard so that I can replace the vinyl - what they removed was rotten. I have sprayed the underside of the vinyl with mould cleaner, and the plaster is drying out 👍 
In other flying news - food shop done & put away. Bathroom sink & toilet cleaned, taps & shower head descaled. I have vac'd DS's mattress, and half of his bedroom (battery ran out 🤦‍♀️). He is still out with his new GF (1st GF), and I remembered that his bed wasn't made, so I have done that as he won't do it in the early hours. I will have words tomorrow as I am not his maid! 😂
I even got some work admin done while watching TV, so a fairly productive day 👍
I am shattered now, so will say goodnight. Sleep well peeps!

i really should have frogged the sleeve i knitted after misreading the pattern however it’s sleeve 1 and as long as i knit sleeve 2 the same all will be well…i should have changed my increases to every 7th row but i kept doing them every 5th.  I increased to the correct number of stitches so it’ll be ok…
Washing brought in and ironed, now airing on maiden.  Hallway vacuumed.
DW and WM locked and loaded … I want to catch the fine weather while i can, so will peg out tomorrow.

@Fayolle I used to faff with casseroles but now I just lightly brown the onion and then throw everything else in together, bring it up to a simmer on the hob and then pop it in the oven. I check it a couple of times during cooking to ensure it doesn't need more liquid, and towards the end taste it to see if it needs any salt or anything to give it a bit more oomph, but that's it. 

Gave more eye drops, had supper, washed up and put on Benediction, which I had recorded at the weekend for A. Later, he said he hadn't enjoyed it but when I went to check on him after it had been on for a bit he was fast asleep so I'm not sure how much of it he actually saw. Did the pre-sleep eye meds and put out A's breakfast things.

Morning my lovelies xx 

I hope the WAC sentries managed to get more sleep xx I slept but had a bad dream. Not one I've had before though. My brain is weird!

Back to the paid stuff today. So I'm up, made my bed, dressed, packed my lunch, eaten breakfast and supped a brew. 

P has his appointment at 3.30 this afternoon. Posivibes would be appreciated. I don't know if I mentioned but P's brother, D, is being taken over the bridge today. He has double pneumonia and the c is back- in groin and chest. He's planning on getting married on 1st March - special dispensation to get married at home. Prayers required there too. How is LC iona? 

Meanwhile I'm going into a petty bitching and backstabbing toxic environment and I'm not in the mood for it. D did her best last week to poison me against L in L's absence. It didn't work. I make my own mind up thankyou very much. And D lies. A lot. If she says it's raining I look out of the window to check 🤦‍♀️. But D can do no wrong in supervisor's eyes.....and supervisor is back this week. Oh joy. Head down and mouth shut Round 🤐 Oh. And my PDR is due. Marvellous.  My cup runneth over. ....

Better get a shufti on. Wish me luck. If there's no blood on the carpet at 4.30 I'll consider it a win. 

Hugs to all.
Rxx

Good luck Round.

 I have had a lie in but only because I've got a pounding headache.  May take more tabs and go back to bed.

Have stayed up, just having something to eat.

Determined to achieve some flying today.

Good morning 😁
I am up & dressed. I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm going to have dippy egg, but just waiting for the man to finish laying the floor in the dining room so I can eat undisturbed. I think (hope!) he is nearly finished as my tummy is grumbling.
I have stripped my bed & that has been washed & is now drying. WM is on with load 2. 
My plan today is to spend some time outside (garden & allotment) as I promised myself I would do that this week. They have both been neglected. However, after today the weather doesn't look too good 😕 It will have to be indoor jobs the rest of the week. I might even paint the skirting in the DR before put back the furniture 🤔
