Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd February 2025

Wordle in six, but only due to Jazee's hint.  Connections after I had a long gap in between efforts.  Loved Strands.  And as for Letter Boxed, those of us with long memories know that Squarial does exist as a word, although it hasn't been used for decades.  I find Letter Boxed frustrating.

Very tired after the monumental effort of January and it appears that such a radical change in my diet is, not surprisingly, giving me a touch of indigestion so I'm only doing the bare necessities and leaving it at that, although I baked a batch of oakcakes today which will stand me in good stead.

Work shift, dailies, admin and dog walk done.  Just warming up with early lunch as I didn't go out to friends' gathering.

Valli, today's word has a link to your previous career.

ooh thanks.  Got it now!

Ironing done, board away, washing on line, WUALTD.  Finished sewing up baby cardi I've knitted and put buttons on - so just one WIP which is close to the end.  Squishy parcel should be delivered tomorrow for my next project.

I'm also planning to dip my toe into decoupage at some point.

Afternoon all,
Early start this morning (my alarm had forgotten that 6.30am was even a thing and clicked but didn’t ring. Luckily I had been in the WAC since 1am, so 6.30 came as a relief), due to taking DD’s car to the big city for a service and MOT. They had the car ready for me by 11am, by which time I had discovered that I could walk to a small independent fabric and wool shop. Oh my days, this was a good realisation from a steps point of view (DD had previously driven me there) but not for my purse. A plant and some bulbs might also have slipped into my bag as I walked through the retail park…
This afternoon should be all about flying, but it is sunny albeit freezing so outside might win. Tomorrow sleet is forecast for here, so that sounds like a much better idea for flying.

Morning everyone, 

Unfortunately, yesterday was not very productive as I got my exam results for the exams I sat in December and sadly I failed 2 of them, so spent most of the afternoon upset and unsure which way to turn which then turned into a heated discussion with DH. Now that we have slept on it we have spoken calmly this morning I feel clearer about the situation or at least know my different options. (Sorry about sharing my current issue but I shared my exam stress last month so thought I would share the outcome and for the next few months my lists will be dominated by exam stress again in the hope of getting back on track)

My list for today
Attend uni lectures
Take the dog for a walk
Do paid stuff
Add 1000 words  to uni assignment
Make a start on revision notes the for mock exam on Tuesday
Make a revision plan as unfortunately, I didn't pass 2 of the exams I did in December (re-sits are in March). 
Empty the office bin
HHI

I think that is everything that I need to get done today. Hope everyone has a lovely Friday.

Morning all,
A late start here. Maybe not so late, but definitely slow. Today’s plan will involve the bathroom, plus I have soup to make for lunch. The wm is swishing, but no chance of hanging outside as it is grey and freezing, and we have wintry showers forecast for later. The spare room has a dressmaking pattern taking up the space, but I will try not to get distracted. I also have a ton of admin to do, as I have taken my eye off the ball that was my regular weekly session, and it shows. Ah well, that’s a good new habit that obviously needs to be reinstated.

Good luck with the revision plan, MMM.
Have a good day all.

Hi

Nothing of much interest going on, as it is so so so cold out there, and the east south east wind is very blowy.

It says it is 4 degrees out there, but it is more like -4 with the wind chill.

Deer / birds/ cats fed.

Daily boring stuff is done.

MMM sorry to hear about your results, are there any tutor groups / revison groups you can join to help you. (online or other uni groups) What is your main subject, are there youtube vids that could help? if you were close to a pass can you ask for a remark, ?
