Weekly Flylady Thread 11 March 2024

YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all 

Lovely to see newbies and returners.  Round can I be one of your chicks?  That feels very comforting somehow.  Or is that just a bit odd, I am harmless really.

Tricky day at the paid stuff and anxiety has been sky high.  Practicing positive affirmations.  My lovely assistant has been trying to take some of the pressure off.  House viewing went well, the house has good vibes and I am sure they will be happy. 

I have cleaned out the LR fire and dusted.  Back in the office at 8am.  Didn't get home until 7.30pm so I need to try to unwind.

YL - you already are one of my flylady chicks. It would be noticed if you went AWOL. 😍

Windows and curtains were closed when I returned from H's, after spending a pleasant afternoon chatting. H's life is a soap opera at the moment too - but she's more Emmerdale to my Corrie. Not that I watch either.

Filed all the receipts from the pile of paperwork on the kitchen table.

Brunch with L at the posh farm shop cafe at 9.45 in the morning. 

Going to bed now. Nn

I’ll catch up with you all tomorrow, but nothings wrong.  I’ve just won on Win A Dinner.  tbh i wasn’t bothered about any of the options so I dinated it to FareShare.  WM and DW locked and loaded.

Morning all.  Hope you're all ok this morning especially Iona (hope recovery is going well) and YSL (keep the positive affirmations going).

Today, apart from walking Poppet if there is a dry spell, I have NO plans.  In theory, lots of flying should get done.....

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all, thank you for the lists again.
Welcome back to all returners (Left, I love your Slow Living thread - so peaceful, even if my head is an actual shed!).
Hope the recovery is going well, Iona x
YL, of course you are a chick. I’m hoping that I can pass muster to be allowed into Round’s brood too.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get more miserable outside, today it turns up the ante. It is grim, wet, cold, grey. I’m not loading the bedding into the wm yet, as yesterday’s towels haven’t managed to dry still. DH has gone to big town to take his car for a service. I may or may not get called upon to rescue him. 

I need to make a list. I did write one yesterday for today, but no idea where I put it…

Morning all xx 

Up at 6.45 am. I mean who needs a lie in on a day off? Obviously not me! 

I'm up, made my bed, taken my meds,  completed Wordle and Connections,  checked my February bank statement and filed it with receipts*,  and I'm supping my first brew. 
*piggers - that's a bit more of the pile dealt with. 😊

YL - high anxiety here too. Not conducive to a relaxing week off. It's been a fraught few months  - it had to catch up with me eventually I guess. One day at a time 😊

Brunch with L this morning. So I'm going to fill a couple of carrier bags with some of the books I've read and L can take them to her sister's church's thrift shop or read them and pass them on. That'll be a little less clutter in here. 

To Do Today List 
Brew 2 
Get dressed 
Feed the birds 
Put out the recycling 
Wash towels and tea towels 
Put fresh towels in bathroom 
Put books in bags for L 
Make phone call to tree surgeon (to arrange appointment for him to come and give me a quote to remove conifer which is now taller than the house) 
HH Admin 
? Arrange appointments for smart meters to be fitted 
Top up water in vase 

That'll do for now. That would be a couple of 🐸 🐸  swallowed.

iona - follow those after care instructions to the letter please xx

Fayolle* - I'm expecting your company today. Rise and shine my lovely 😊

Have a good day.

ETA * we crossed 🤣 And of course you are one of my chicks. Amazed you would think otherwise 🥰

Sofa covers freshened, checked banking.

Round .. I am working on the pile of uniforms in the back room.. it is a mountain!! I have loads to fling on V1nted but Twinkle has an appointment at the hospital this morning so I am hoping to squeeze some around that.

My chest is terrible this morning, I am really struggling to breathe.. My taplop seems to be running something huge judging by the fans so I need to whittle down the thousands of tabs I have open.

OH has 3 interviews to book and a 4th this morning.. on paper he sounds amazing, in interview he is a muppet... lol... we shall see.. just applying for a couple of council roles.. they are by far the places to get in.

Cuppa and laundry shuffle to start the day I think.

Morning

Jazee, I'm joining your NO plan day!  

So far:-

I've coloured my hair while that was doing its stuff,

I made pasta bolognese 7 portions, so 1 for tonight, the rest in tubs in freezer and marked B.

Re planted my water bird bath, it got loose in the flooded garden over the winter, so that is now in, cat 2 currently sitting on the water bath bit.

To do in a no plan day

Ironing (10 mins at most)

Collect prescription, combining this with my walking.

All those that are recoverying or ill, look after yourself and keep warm.

Grey here bit sun 'trying' to break through.

Morning all.  Thanks for GWS wishes.

I was asleep just after 10 last night and woke at 5 this morning, ready for my first cuppa.
Watched/listened to some YT videos, even managed to do some online jigsaws (it was challenging).
DS1 rang at 7 to check that I was OK.
Had another cuppa.

Re-read eye care instructions to make sure that I had remembered what I was supposed to do.
Removed eye shield, cleaned eye and put in first eye drop, then put on my now-single-lens specs.  Left (op) eye is still very cloudy, right eye has poor vision anyway, but it's an overall improvement: typing is much easier when you're not trying to do it one-handed, with a magnifying glass in the other hand!

My Greek Cypriot friend A rang at 8 (she's not usually up until 10).  First time we had spoken since before Christmas, as she went to visit her son in Dubai and hadn't rung me since returning home.  She is going out there again on 23rd for two months.  I won't be able to take her out for lunch, but she is welcome to come here for a meal.

I have checked finances, but have no plans to do anything else today except set up phone reminders for the eye drops routine. I have booked the dog walker for an extra day, so Rosie will get a better walk than I could offer her.

I need breakfast!  DH is apparently still in the Land of Nod...  Will catch up with you all later xxx
