Weekly Flylady Thread 13th January 2025

@MadamMim2013 I have a similar problem with the bath room and condensation, and the need to repaint it every year.  This time we went for adding some dryzone anti-mould concentrate to some Dulux easy care bathroom and so far there isn't the least hint of mould - I wiped it all down last week for bathroom deep clean and there was nothing of concern.  Really good for nearly five months here.

That's a great tip redo as we're having the same problem with our bathroom too as no extractor fan in there.

Well flea and wormer picked up from the vets - the cost has shot up by nearly £9 - not sure if it's due to the new owner, or whether prices for this have genuinely gone up since October. Was quite a shock to be paying close to £80 instead of £71.

No sign of DS1's water bottle in lost property. We're hoping he may have left it in one of his lessons and a teacher may have picked it up for him. Fingers crossed.

Well I've just been up to the bathroom, and after DS2's visit last night, it stank, so I've cleaned the loo and all the floor around it. Disgusting! If it still smells tomorrow, I will have to go over it with shaving foam, as just used Dettol spray today.

DS1's bedding in the tumble dryer. Our sheet has been washed, but not sewn up yet.

So far, 737 items have been boxed, binned or bagged, and most of that has left the house.  I've got some clothes to try on to see if they still fit, are comfortable and whether I want to keep them.  I'm hoping most don't, aren't or don't because I've halved the amount in the two drawers and wardrobe.  I need to stop dressing like a slob so I've put most of my teeshirts out to go, except for the ones Belovéd has given me.  29.48% of the month's total.  It'll speed up now we're about halfway through the month, so I'm defo going to have to go up to the attic to find the rest.

I've got a piece of sculpture I love and while stacking boxes of flingage I knocked it, and one of the fox's ears has come off.  I'll glue it back on so it'll be okay.  I thought I would be upset when it got broken - it was always going to get broken but it sort of just makes me more mine now.  At least it was me that did it.  I'd have been hopping mad if someone else did it.

ETA:  I tried everything on.  One pair of M&S jeans has hit the bin, one pair of lovely jeans is in the CS box and the rest went back in the wardrobe/drawer.  I'm not sure about one pair of trousers; if I don't wear them this summer they can go.

Wow Honeybear - that's great decluttering.

Hang new shower curtain

I use my old shower curtain in winter to keep my windscreen free of frost; it's water-resistant fabric and works brilliantly.

Number of you tube videos watched = 2.  Number of tiles broken = 1

Before.  Boiler was changed in 2018; cupboard has hidden this horror since then.   The space was left when the old controller, for the old boiler, was removed.

Stacks of admin decluttered (I have been a lazy, reluctant adminner for a while it seems). Unfortunately only visible to me. And for every bit cleared, I had another 2 “good” ideas.  They duly went in my Admin notebook for another day 😇, so now I already have a list to tackle on my next Admin Day.
Clean washing sorted, HHI done, quick chat with DD, houseplants watered, my list of 5 jobs written for tomorrow. Tonight’s tea is veggie moussaka. As per the list I prepped all parts at the weekend so it’s an assembly job this evening.

I learned (by watching a you tube video), how to remove old tiles and adhesive

and watched another video so I learned how to correctly use a tile cutter

and this is the space retiled.  I had to borrow a chisel (to remove the old tiles) , tile cutter and adhesive spreader from Pa.  I decided to leave the tile to the right of the switch but I think I've done a good job.

I still need to grout but need to leave the adhesive to set for 24 hours.  I am very proud of myself.  That's a frog dealt with without having to get a man in!

If you are ever bored and you want to visit @Valli...

I have all the gear and no idea, thank you - I will have a look at YouTube too before despairing.
