Weekly Flylady Thread 11th November 2024

Oh dear, looks like my flying may be limited this afternoon. Went with DH to Costa this morning at 11 and he treated me to their new Caramel Nutcracker latte made with soya milk and their vegan whipped cream. I had asked specifically if it could be made dairy free due to my dairy allergy (luckily lactose intorant rather than a full blown IGE allergy), and after checking the file, they assured me it was. However, they forgot to check the sauce they drizzle on top. We had our coffees to take away, and the queaziness started to kick in about 30 minutes after drinking it. Got home and have downloaded the full allergens matrix on the computer, and discovered the drizzle contains milk. That explains why I feel so rough now. Well at least the boys' bedding has been washed.

Please email them and report this ... 

Am cleaning at work; I've just had to nip out on an errand and pick up some lunch

I've sent them a message on their facebook page. Will have to look up their email address after the school run.

@sexymouse - I'm with @Valli on this! Really important to report, it's bad enough for you but for someone with a full blown allergy it could be fatal 😳 

Finally out of my bed after two days of feeling pretty dire so got some flying done - cleaned the bathroom, main bedroom, kitchen, utility, hall, stairs, landing and the front room. I've decided against doing a deep clean of anything this week as I'm giving myself time to recover. Really glad I've got it sorted today though 😁

All reported via their website, and hopefully I'll get an email response soon. Yes my DS2 has a dairy allergy (to the protein) and his reactions last a lot longer than mine as he gets all over body rashes and bad tummy and I'm forever grateful that his aren't anaphylactic. I'm super careful with allergies as my nephew is anaphylactic and I've taught quite a few children with anaphylaxis and am epipen trained. Thankfully, I've never had to put my training into action.

How irritating Sexy Mouse.  I hope the staff who checked the manual remember to check the toppings next time and you feel better already.

I thought I'd posted a late morning update but clearly not.  Dog walked, some of the back alley has been done with j3y3s but a litre didn't go far as it's now 250ml to a 10l of water so not as much done as I'd like to do but I can get another can of it next time I'm passing Bee and Em.  Sitting room carpet washed, laundry shuffled, two more loads dangling.

We went to see this (UK title: The Marching Band) this afternoon, which is the only opportunity we'll have.  If you are fluent in French or don't mind subtitles it's absolutely wonderful and I thoroughly recommend it.  Lots of sniffing and tissues needed at the end.

That's a shame sexymouse but well done for reporting it - let's hope they take action.

I fnally got around to washing up and then fiddle-faddled around until it was time time to make supper. I did that and have now washed up. I bought a nice frying pan last December, one recommended by my brother; it was pretty expensive but they had a special offer on of a third off. It's been great to cook with, and a dream to clean, but for some reason after frying an egg in it recently the fat burned and bonded to the surface of the pan and I couldn't get it off. As it was still within its one year guarantee I sent them an email and they agreed to replace it, so this evening I did the online return and printed off the return label. Amazingly I still have the orginal box, so will that will be handy for returning it in.

I met a friend from university last week for coffee (three of us used to meet occasionally but we'd lost contact in the pandemic). After meeting she emailed the other two and they've both replied and I sent a reply after supper. They have both moved out of London but we're hoping to meet in January and have lunch if I can get someone to come and care for A.

What does '10 cubes of the kallax cleaned' mean Valli?
