Weekly Flylady Thread 15th April 2024

Steps 2a, 2b, and 2c completed. Not perfect but better than it was.

Had a peep under a piece of bleachy loo roll. Oooo. That looks promising. 😊

Also diluted vinegar sprayed the mould on the ceiling- which I could just reach by standing on tiptoe in the bath- that came off really easily. 

It needs decorating in there. That's the trouble when you remove the layer of dust - it shows up the decor 🤣 I can't believe that I'm sat here considering having a bash at it. Not today obvs!

piggers - my drain goes into next door and on to the main sewer from there. But NN says theirs is clear. So the blockage is between my manhole and theirs....where usually it's somewhere under their garage floor on the way to the main sewer. It must have been building up a long time....that's a lot of 💩 for one person! 

I can't believe how much I'm enjoying the flying. I can only think that breaking it down into bite size pieces combined with the loss of 23 lbs chubbage has resulted in this transformation 🤔.  My flying pilot light is lit woot woot. It's only taken nearly 14 years...no use crying over spilt milk. 

Food now. I need food.

A charming young man from the Water Board has been and spent over an hour debunging the sewer. 

One less thing to worry about 😊 

And breathe.....

Round.. it could still be their drain if yours is lower it would block before theirs did.. but glad it is sorted

Girls fed and pack ups done.

second loads in the TD and 4/5 wash loads just finished so I need to get those out.
OH bossed to put away his stuff off the work surfaces and other bits washed which I now need to rehome.
Rescued wood removed to the garden

food snaffled... off to do some more shuffling of detritus..

Messaged plumber and door man about quotes for bathoom and door fixing.. I will have the house water tight and secure.

Next round of washing out on the line and some dry stuff brought in and now 2 half loads in the machines.

OH and 2 smalls outside washing the car.

Filters and canister washed on Feargal.. it might be better when it is dry.

I have a pile to go upstairs and the bed to remake. I have so much stuff to do in this hovel .. I am refusing to give in to the overwhelm and make progress.

Step 3 completed, plus I wiped down the landing windowsill and inside the front door.

Drove into town to pick up.my prescription and came back via the motorway to give Vincent a good run at speed which DB says he needs once a month to prevent something sorting up.

Valli - they were running behind so I’m now on the show in two weeks time xx

Not much flying to report but popped on to see how you’re all doing. I’m really really tired and a bit hormonal. Early nights all round here. See you all on the new thread x

Windows and front door washed..
Car clean

units wiped

walls wiped of grubby marks.. and skirting in hallway.

I'm really pleased your sewer problem has been sorted out Round - that sounds potentially horrible.

Not much to report here - a fairly quiet day. I went to the 08.30 and stopped off at the bakery on the way back. Went out for a short walk and made us both a coffee when I got back and we shared a pain au chocolat (I don't normally eat between getting up and lunch but made an exception today). Watched an old episode of Only Connect on catch-up, made lunch, washed up, emptied the kitchen bin and took the bag down, watched Escape to the Country and dreamed of escaping to the country S&S in the kitchen, made A a cup of tea and me another coffee and that's it, apart from giving eye drops.

CoG, thank you for the reminder that I hadn't done my eye drops at 5.30!   I've just sorted them.

Well done on the window cleaning and everything else, pigpen.  Would you like to come and clean mine? (insides only).  You can bring OH and the smalls too - my car also needs cleaning x

round, I'm glad your water board man has cleared the blockage so promptly x

I gave our vicar a good talking to after this morning's service.  In his sermon he had mentioned men doing "naughty" things with women, when he obviously meant that they were abusing them.  I told him that by using that word he was demeaning women (or trying to sound like Monty Python). He tried to excuse himself by saying that he couldn't use stronger language because there were children in church, but I retorted that he could have said "indescribable" or another more respectful word.  His response was that he had realised that he might upset somebody, but he would continue to use the same phrase in future, however he fully expected me to complain every time.  Yes, I blooming well intend to do so - except that next time it happens I shall heckle him during his sermon!  I have always been an agent provocateur and I have a reputation to keep up!!!

K and the girls came over this afternoon and we walked up, over and round the big hill to see the swathes of bluebells.  Rosie went off rabbiting again.  Afterwards, I fed them on meatballs and pasta (only a bit of pasta for Rosie), which went down very well with everyone.  DH came back from war games just as they were leaving, so I then fed both of us.  I'm planning a less active evening, though I've still got a bit of filing to do if the TV programmes are too boring.

Will see you all on the new thread xxx
