Weekly Flylady Thread 28th October 2024

Only one post on the thread so far today....  Is everyone OK?

I've felt so tired that I haven't achieved much in the past 24 hours.  I made some apple and oat muffins (decluttering some of the windfall apples that I was given) in case the neighbour from the bottom of our drive brought her two DDs a-knocking, but they haven't come, so all the muffins will end up in our freezer.  I took Rosie out for her usual walk, and that's about it.  Must. Try. Harder. 

Tomorrow I am taking K and the girls out for the day here.  It's quite a drive, but well worth it.

Early bed it shall be, then.  Sleep well, everyone xxx

Iona that looks brilliant hope you have a lovely day. 

Feeling grumpy.  Work has been difficult, my shoulder is achy and is taking ages to get better and I generally feel a bit bleugh.  No sympathy here though, DH has man-flu so has taken himself off to bed.

I have sorted all the clean washing and put some damp laundry over the airer.  Thankfully it's Friday tomorrow, I have been invited to a friend's for her husband's birthday tomorrow night but not sure if I will go, it's just drinks with friends and family so I can decide tomorrow.

Like Iona I feel rather dissatisfied with my Flying efforts at the moment.  I need a kick up the bside.

Early night I think.

Oh it's lovely, there, Ionafan.  Take a bag; there are sweet chestnut trees in the garden.  


Lots of tidying done; and I ironed the still-damp washing so it's now airing.

Enjoy the autumn colours Ionafan.
- 2 loads of washing done, one of which was the 6 kitchen curtains.
- Mr N and I took everything off the 'cooker wall' and Mr N painted it. The new colour is a bit brighter yellow than the previous, which is what we wanted.    I cleaned 2 wooden plate racks and a salt & pepper rack, plus an air vent cover; all of which showed how pathetic my usual flying is.      Found 5 unused storage jars, clear Kilner type so ok to use until I find some tea/coffee ones I prefer (they may look good as they are, now I've given them a good wash).
- I checked at 11.20 whether I  had a place on the noon Pilates and I was 1st on the waiting list, so decided I'd keep flying in the kitchen; any cancellations have to be an hour before the class.  At 11.33 an email came through to say I'd got a place, but by then it didn't give me long enough to get there on time so I rang to say I wasn't coming; girl most apologetic and said she'd record me as being there otherwise I'd get an email of complaint if I didn't turn up.      In the afternoon Mr N and I went for a walk instead and came back with more apples from a tree which is on a public bridleway and has lovely cookers. 
- did a small amount of pottering in the greenhouse.
- started a letter to a young Indian girl we sponsor.

Morning all 👋

Have a lovely day iona xx

Last day at work for me then 10 days off including the wedding day 😊

I've made my bed, packed my lunch etc. Setting off early to avoid the snarl ups round the road works still.

Just thought  let you know I'm still alive 😉

Good to see you Round.  You are missed when you don't post but it must be lovely to be so close to the wedding now and I imagine your headspace is all about that these days.  Your weightloss journey has been amazing to watch - massively well done.

Connections completed with no lives lost today but Wordle is stumping me.  I've had two shots at what I think it is but I've only one more life left so I'll leave that guess until a bit later and see if my sub-conscious can sort it. 

Massively busy day yesterday.  Some paperwork I need has been lost at the F'bank for the first time in seven years so that's a bit upsetting.  Other than that all good. 

Then all the errands that I haven't been running for months, which took until 6.30pm but as far as I know I completed everything on the listie: Lid1, drop off at the Scrapstore, drop off dog food for a friend, drop off paperwork for another volunteer, Morribunds, vet, drop off at the CS, Craplins, A1d!, Sainsbobs, Currys and home.  Unloaded the car, put stuff roughly away, had a cup of tea, put my feet up for 30 minutes and Belovéd very kindly cooked again, which makes it four nights out of five in a row so I heart him. 

Today will be less energetic, but more mentally taxing.  I need to finish putting stuff away - straightforward - and then unbox and learn how to use a new airfryer. I would very much like to be able to cook some chips in it tonight.

Morning all.  Hope you're all ok.

Apologies for not posting much.  Half term means different hours for me.  Anyway wordle in four today and connections with no lives lost.

Dailies, dog walk and admin are done.  I'll have a look at the list after an early lunch, see if I have time to do anything before the paid stuff.
